Description

Sodium Myristate CAS NO 822-12-8 is the sodium salt of myristic acid, a saturated fatty acid, serving as a versatile anionic surfactant and emulsifying agent. Its primary value lies in its ability to create stable foams and emulsions while acting as a gentle yet effective cleansing and thickening agent. This makes it an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable and high-purity raw materials.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Key ingredient in soaps, shaving creams, and cleansing bars for its lathering and emulsifying properties.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in topical ointments, creams, and suppositories for its emulsifying and stabilizing functions.
• Industrial Cleansers: Acts as a surfactant in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent and auxiliary in processing baths.
• Food Industry (as an additive): Can function as a binder, emulsifier, or anticaking agent in certain food-grade applications (subject to local regulations).
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Serves as a component in the production of metallic soaps for specialized lubricating greases.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Myristate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, loss on drying, and heavy metal content to guarantee consistent quality and reliability for your production processes.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and caking.
