Description

Sodium Lardate CAS NO 68605-06-1 is the sodium salt of lard fatty acids, functioning as a versatile soap and surfactant derived from natural animal fats. This compound is valued for its effective cleansing, emulsifying, and thickening properties, making it a key ingredient in traditional and specialty soap formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, soap making, and industrial cleaning sectors for its reliable performance and natural origin.

Application

• Soap Manufacturing: A primary raw material in the production of traditional bar soaps, providing lathering and cleaning characteristics.
• Personal Care Products: Used as a surfactant and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and shaving products.
• Industrial Cleaners & Degreasers: An effective component in heavy-duty cleaning formulations for machinery and surfaces.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a lubricant and softening agent in fiber treatment and fabric conditioning.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in cutting and drawing oils.
• Leather Processing: Utilized in fatliquoring and softening stages of leather production.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Lardate is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for fatty acid composition, free alkali content, moisture, and insolubles. 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent caking and degradation from atmospheric humidity.
