Description

Fatty Acids, Coco, Sodium Salts are the sodium salts derived from coconut oil fatty acids, primarily serving as an anionic surfactant and emulsifying agent. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and wetting properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, household cleaning, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking reliable, bio-based ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Key surfactant in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and shaving creams for its rich lather and mild cleansing.
• Household & Institutional Cleaning: Primary foaming agent in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and industrial detergents.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and scouring aid in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a surfactant in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide sprays to enhance wetting and spreading.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Coco, Sodium Salts are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance in key parameters such as active matter content, free alkali, and moisture. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are provided with every shipment. We can supply grades suitable for various applications, including those requiring compliance with relevant industry guidelines.

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); keep containers tightly sealed to prevent caking or degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
