Abstract
This invention relates to solutions of alkali metal stearates which remain soluble and stable at room temperature. In particular, the invention relates to an aqueous solution which includes an alkali metal stearate selected from the group consisting of sodium stearate and potassium stearate, and a water soluble nonionic surfactant. More particularly, the invention relates to a solution which when deposited on a substrate forms a stearate-surfactant lubricant layer upon removal of water. The solutions may be used in neat form or delivered as part of an emulsion.
