Description

Lauric Acid Sodium Salt is the sodium salt derivative of lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid. This compound serves as a versatile anionic surfactant and emulsifying agent, valued for its ability to reduce surface tension and stabilize mixtures. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, and food industries seeking effective and reliable ingredients for product formulation.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier in liquid soaps, shampoos, and shower gels.
• Cleaning Agent in industrial and household detergents and degreasers.
• Food Additive (E470a) as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and anti-caking agent.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other laurate-based esters and chemicals.
• Textile Processing Aid for scouring and finishing operations.
• Cosmetic Formulations in creams, lotions, and other personal care products.
