Description

Fatty Acids, Coco, Potassium Salts (CAS NO 61789-30-8) are the potassium salts derived from coconut oil fatty acids, serving as a versatile and effective anionic surfactant. This compound is valued for its excellent cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, household & industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking biodegradable and naturally derived ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in liquid soaps, shampoos, body washes, and shaving creams for its rich lather and mild cleansing.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Key ingredient in liquid dish soaps, hard surface cleaners, and industrial degreasers due to its effective grease-cutting action.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring and wetting agent in the pretreatment of natural fibers to remove oils and waxes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic rubbers and latex paints.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oil formulations.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Coco, Potassium Salts are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance, including parameters for active matter content, free fatty acid/alkali, and ionic character. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

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