Lithium palmitate, the lithium salt of palmitic acid.
Lithium stearate, the lithium salt of stearic acid.
Lithium soap is a soap consisting of a lithium salt of a fatty acid.[1][2] Sodium-based and potassium-based soaps are used as cleaning agents in domestic and industrial applications, whereas lithium soaps are used as components of lithium grease (white lithium).
Lithium soaps are produced by saponification of triglycerides, using lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate as the saponification agent. Lithium soaps are used as lubricant components and form-release agents at relatively high temperatures.[3]
The main components of lithium soaps are lithium stearate and lithium 12-hydroxystearate.[4]
