Potassium oleate CAS 143-18-0

Potassium oleate, another name is Potassium cis-9-octadecenoate. The chemical formula is C18H33KO2. Potassium oleate is a brown solid or a transparent amber liquid. It is fatty acid potassium found in natural soaps.<br/>

Product Details

Overview of potassium oleate:

Potassium oleate is a liquid potassium soap solution in water. Potassium oleate is used as an emulsifier in many liquid soaps, facial cleansers, beard waxes, shower gels and hair conditioners. The effect of emulsifiers is similar to that of surfactants, which can reduce the surface tension of liquids.

Potassium oleate is a natural component of vegetable oils such as sunflower oil. It is used in soap making to make vegetable glycerin soap. In its pure form, it may be an irritant, but when making soap, it is reduced and approved as food safe when it is used as a binding ingredient.

High-purity potassium oleate is a powdery solid, which will bring great convenience to the dosage during storage, packaging, transportation or use. However, the current purification and purification of solid potassium oleate often requires low temperature and reduced pressure methods to remove water. The method has a long production cycle, high energy consumption, high cost, and great difficulty in preparation. Therefore, it is very necessary to research and develop the preparation process of solid potassium oleate.

Potassium oleate application:

What is the scope of application of potassium oleate?

Potassium oleate is a potassium catalyst and trimerization catalyst for polyurethane rigid polyisocyanurate. It is widely used in PIR foaming system of polyurethane insulation board. In addition, potassium oleate is also widely used in rubber emulsifiers, foaming agents, mold release agents, detergents, lubricants, fiber softeners and surfactants. Potassium oleate is used as an emulsifier in many liquid soaps, facial cleansers, beard waxes, shower gels and hair conditioners. The effect of emulsifiers is similar to that of surfactants, which can reduce the surface tension of liquids. Potassium oleate prevents the components in these products from separating into individual chemicals.

In addition, potassium oleate can also be used

Antifungal agents for the preparation of paints;

Preparation of multifunctional microemulsion gasoline and fuel combustion accelerator;

Preparation of anionic viscoelastic surfactant gel.
