Overview of Potassium oleate
Potassium oleate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids.These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms.Potassium oleate is a weakly acidic compound(based on its pKa).Potassium oleate is a kind of potassium catalyst,which is mainly used for the reaction of polyisohydrourate in polyurethane foam.It can also be used as a rubber emulsifier,foaming agent,release agent, detergent,lubricant, fiber softener and surface active agent.
Potassium Oleate is a natural constituent of vegetable oils like sunflower oil.It is used in soapmaking to make vegetable glycerin soaps.In its pure form,it can be an irritant,however, in soap making it is reduced down and is approved as food safe when it is used as a binding ingredient.
Potassium oleate is a product with high wetting,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 so that it wets the fabric more thoroughly,thereby helping to wash and remove dirt.Potassium salts of fatty acids are produced by adding potassium hydroxide to fatty acids found in animal fats and in plant oils.Fatty acids are extracted from palm,coconut,olive,castor,and cottonseed plants to form this active ingredient.
Applications of Potassium oleate
Potassium oleate is used as an emulsifier in many liquid soaps,facial cleansers, beard waxes,shower gels and hair permanents.Emulsifiers act like surfactants and reduce the surface tension of liquids. Potassium oleate prevents the components in these products from separating into individual chemicals.
1.Used as emulsifier and cleaning agent. Used in creams and shampoo cosmetics.It has a 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,which is a trimerization catalyst for polyurethane rigid polyisocyanurate,which is widely used in the PIR foam system of polyurethane insulation board.
3.Potassium oleate is widely used in rubber emulsifiers,foaming agents, release agents,detergents, lubricants, fiber softeners and surfactants.
4.Potassium oleate is used as an emulsifier and foaming agent in the field of latex.It can also be used in creams and shampoo cosmetics.It has high emulsification efficiency,but it is easy to form calcium soap in hard water.
5.It can also be used as a fiber softener,printing ink additives and metal cutting fluids.
