Magic Catalyst Potassium Oleate

Catalyst potassium oleate

 Potassium oleate is a potassium catalyst, mainly used as a catalyst for the reaction of polyisoprene in polyurethane foam. It can also be used as an emulsifier, detergent, etc.-Appearance and characteristics: stable brown or transparent to amber liquids.

Melting point: 235-240°C. Boiling point: 360°C, 760mmHg.

ready

Oleic acid is a liquid with a carboxyl group -COOH at the end of the long chain. Potassium is directly put into oleic acid, and a displacement reaction occurs to generate hydrogen and potassium oleate. The saponification method is mainly used in industry. It is made by saponifying oils such as butter and lanolin with potassium hydroxide, then salting out and separating glycerin

1. Calculate the MOL ratio is about 1: 1.1 = oleic acid: potassium hydroxide.

2. Dissolve KOH to a concentration of 20% and heat to about 80 degrees.

3. Slowly add oleic acid after stirring.

4. Continue cooking after adding; the temperature rises to close to the boiling point.

5. The reaction is complete. That is potassium oleate solution.

classification

Potassium oleate can be classified according to its useful content. At present, the content of potassium oleate in most markets is about 30%, but according to different market requirements, if the content continues to increase, its status will also change, such as the content of potassium oleate. If it exceeds 80%, it becomes a paste, and if it is high, it becomes stable, such as a block or powder. At the same time, according to specific requirements, it can also produce colorless, low-odor and other environmentally friendly potassium oleate solutions.

 use

Used as an emulsifier and cleaning agent. Used in creams and shampoos. It has a high emulsification efficiency, but it is easy to form calcium soap in the case of hard water. It can also be used as a fiber softener.

It is a potassium catalyst and is widely used in polyisocyanate foam reactions.

Overview of potassium oleate

Potassium oleate is an organic compound called long-chain fatty acid, which is a fatty acid with an aliphatic tail group of 13 to 21 carbon atoms. Potassium oleate is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Potassium oleate is a potassium catalyst, mainly used for the reaction of polyisohydrourethane in polyurethane foam. It can also be used as rubber emulsifier, foaming agent, release agent, detergent, lubricant, fiber softener and surfactant.

Potassium oleate is a natural component of vegetable oil (such as sunflower oil). It is used in soap making to make vegetable glycerin soap. Its pure form may be irritating, but it can be used in a reduced amount in soap manufacturing and is used as a binding ingredient. Approved as food safe.

Potassium oleate is a product with high wettability, non-stick and foaming ability, and can be used in industrial fields, such as the manufacture of Marseille soap. It is a surfactant whose main function is to reduce the surface tension of water. Therefore, its fatty acid potassium salt is prepared by adding potassium hydroxide to the fatty acids in animal fat and vegetable oil. Fatty acid potassium is made from fatty acids extracted from palm, coconut, olive, castor and cottonseed plants. Form this active ingredient

Application of potassium oleate

Potassium oleate is used as an emulsifier in many liquid soaps, facial cleansers, beard waxes, shower gels and hair permanent substances. The emulsifier acts like a surfactant and reduces the surface tension of the liquid. Potassium oleate prevents the components in these products from separating into individual chemicals.

1. Used as an emulsifier and cleaning agent. Used in creams and shampoo cosmetics, it has high emulsification efficiency, but it is easy to form calcium soap in hard water. It can also be used as a fiber softener.

2. Potassium oleate is a potassium catalyst and trimerization catalyst for polyurethane rigid polyisocyanurate, which is widely used in the PIR foam system of polyurethane insulation boards.

3. Potassium oleate is widely used in rubber emulsifiers, foaming agents, mold release agents, detergents, lubricants, fiber softeners and surfactants.

4. Potassium oleate is used as an emulsifier and foaming agent in the field of latex, and can also be used in creams and shampoo cosmetics. It has high emulsification efficiency, but calcium soap is easy to form in hard water.

5. It can also be used as fiber softener, printing ink auxiliary and metal cutting fluid.
