Zirconium stearate is a metal-organic compound, a salt of zirconium and stearic acid with the chemical formula C
72H
140ZrO
8.[1][2]
The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid.[3][4]
Zirconium stearate is prepared by boiling stearic acid and sodium carbonate in water and then adding zirconium oxychloride solution.[5]
Also, zirconium stearate can be prepared by reacting zirconium nitrate and sodium oleate.[6]
