Description

Fatty Acids, Palm-Oil, Sodium Salts (CAS NO 61790-79-2) are the sodium salts derived from the fatty acid fraction of palm oil, serving as versatile anionic surfactants and emulsifiers. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and stabilizing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, naturally-derived ingredients.

Application

• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: A key surfactant in bar soaps, laundry powders, and liquid detergents for its effective cleansing and lather generation.
• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary soap base in cleansing bars, shaving creams, and other skincare products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as an emulsifier and degreaser in heavy-duty floor cleaners, metal cleaners, and textile scouring agents.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an anionic emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubbers, latex paints, and polymer dispersions.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a lubricant and scouring agent in fiber processing and fabric preparation.
• Metal Working Fluids: Utilized as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oil formulations.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Palm-Oil, Sodium Salts are produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality parameters such as total fatty matter, free alkali, moisture content, and iodine value are rigorously tested. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, and production can be aligned with relevant standards such as ISO or customer-specific requirements.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent caking or degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong acids.
