Description

Fatty Acids, Vegetable-Oil, Sodium Salts are the sodium salts derived from the saponification of natural vegetable oils, representing a versatile class of anionic surfactants and emulsifiers. This compound is valued for its excellent cleansing, foaming, and emulsifying properties, making it a fundamental ingredient in numerous industrial and consumer formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, household cleaning, textile processing, and lubricant industries seeking a reliable, bio-based raw material.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Soaps & Cleansers: Core ingredient in bar soaps, liquid hand soaps, and syndet bars due to its effective cleaning and lathering properties.
• Emulsifying Agent in Cosmetics: Used in creams, lotions, and shampoos to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and improve product texture.
• Textile Processing Aid: Functions as a scouring agent, lubricant, and softener in the pretreatment and finishing of textiles and fibers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in floor cleaners, degreasers, and general-purpose cleaning formulations for its detergency.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Intermediate for Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a raw material for producing other fatty acid derivatives and specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Vegetable-Oil, Sodium Salts are produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance characteristics relevant to its target application, such as free alkali content, total fatty matter, and moisture. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these parameters 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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent caking or degradation due to atmospheric moisture.
