Description

Ammonium Oleate is the ammonium salt of oleic acid, a versatile surfactant and emulsifying agent. This compound is valued for its ability to reduce surface tension and stabilize mixtures of oil and water, making it a critical component in numerous industrial formulations. Key industries that rely on this chemical include paints and coatings, textiles, metalworking, and personal care product manufacturing. Its effectiveness as a dispersant and lubricant underpins its widespread commercial use.

Application

• As a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of paints, varnishes, and latex coatings.
• Functioning as a textile softener and lubricant during fiber processing and finishing.
• An essential component in metalworking fluids and cutting oils for its lubricating and anti-corrosion properties.
• Used as a dispersing agent and grinding aid in pigment and dye preparations.
• Employed in the formulation of personal care products such as creams and lotions for its emulsifying action.
• Acts as a flotation agent in certain mineral processing applications.
• Serves as a mold release agent in various polymer and rubber manufacturing processes.
