Description

Fatty Acids, Olive-Oil, Sodium Salts are the sodium salts derived from the saponification of olive oil fatty acids, primarily oleic acid. This compound serves as a versatile, natural-origin anionic surfactant and emulsifier, prized for its mildness and biodegradability. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking sustainable and skin-friendly formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifying agent in soaps, facial cleansers, shaving creams, and bath products, valued for its gentle cleansing properties.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Used as an excipient in topical ointments, creams, and medicated soaps for its emulsifying and mild surfactant characteristics.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Formulated into liquid soaps, degreasers, and specialty cleaners where a biodegradable and effective surfactant is required.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a softener, lubricant, and scouring agent in fiber treatment and fabric finishing processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oils and drawing compounds.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance wetting, spreading, and adhesion on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Olive-Oil, Sodium Salts are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance characteristics relevant to its target application. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, acid value, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or performance degradation.
