Description

Fatty Acids, Corn-Oil, Potassium Salts are a specialized class of anionic surfactants derived from renewable corn oil. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, cleansing, and foaming properties, making it a versatile ingredient in industrial and consumer formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, household cleaning, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking effective, naturally-derived surfactants.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Liquid Soaps & Body Washes: Provides rich, stable lather and mild cleansing action.
• Emulsifying Agent in Cosmetic Creams & Lotions: Stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions for smooth texture.
• Key Component in Household & Industrial Cleaners: Enhances grease-cutting and dirt suspension in all-purpose cleaners and degreasers.
• Foam Stabilizer in Fire-Fighting Foams: Contributes to foam formation and stability in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF).
• Additive in Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softener, lubricant, and finishing agent.
• Intermediate for Further Chemical Synthesis: Used in the production of other specialty surfactants and esters.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Corn-Oil, Potassium Salts are produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as fatty acid profile, alkali content, moisture, and appearance are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
