High Purity Potassium Oleate CAS 143-18-0

Potassium oil, also called Potassium cit-9-octadecenoate. C18H33KO2 is its chemical formula. Potassium oil is either a solid brown or transparent liquid. It's a fatty acid potassium that is found in natural soaps.

Product name: Potassium Oleate

CASE NO.   HTML03-18-0

Description of Potassium Oliate: 

First, potassium oleate is a potent antioxidant. This means it can be used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries to protect other substances from oxidation and spoilage. For example, in the food industry, potassium oleate prevents foods such as oils, biscuits, and dried fruits from spoiling during storage. In cosmetics, potassium oleate can protect the skin from free radical damage and delay skin aging.

Secondly, potassium oleate has a strong oily smell. This smell can cover up the fat taste in food and improve the taste of food. At the same time, it can also be used in cosmetics to provide moisturizing and moisturizing effects for the skin.

In addition, potassium oleate also has the properties of reducing temperature and flame retardancy. In industrial production, it can be used as a coolant and flame retardant. For example, in steel production, potassium oleate can be used as a coolant to lower the temperature of molten metals. In construction and wood processing, potassium oleate can be used as a flame retardant to prevent the occurrence of fires.

Finally, potassium oleate also has lubricating properties. It can be used as a lubricant to reduce friction and wear. For example, in the lubrication of mechanical parts, potassium oleate can reduce friction and wear and extend the service life of equipment.

Production Method of Potassium Oliate: 

Chemical synthesis is one of the main production methods of potassium oleate. The method uses oleic acid as raw material to prepare potassium oleate by reacting with potassium hydroxide. The specific preparation process includes the following steps:

The reaction temperature and stirring time were controlled by mixing oleic acid with potassium hydroxide solution.

The reaction products are separated by distillation or extraction and washed and dried;

The resulting products are refined and purified to meet the requirements of different fields of use.

The advantages of chemical synthesis are a mature process, high production efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale production. At the same time, the method can also adjust the chemical properties and purity of the product by selecting different reaction conditions and raw materials. However, the chemical synthesis method also has some disadvantages, such as the reaction process may produce harmful by-products and the need to use a large number of organic solvents, resulting in environmental pollution and high production costs.

Biological fermentation is another method of producing potassium oleate. The process utilizes the effect of microbial fermentation to convert vegetable oils or fatty acids into potassium oleate. The specific preparation process includes the following steps:

The vegetable oil or fatty acids and microorganisms are inoculated into the fermenter for fermentation;

The fermentation was carried out under certain temperature and humidity conditions, and the ventilation volume was controlled.

After a certain period, the fermentation liquid was collected, extracted, and separated.

The resulting products are refined and purified to meet the requirements of different fields of use.

In addition, the biological fermentation method can also regulate the chemical properties and purity of the product by selecting different microbial strains. However, the biological fermentation method also has some disadvantages, such as a long production cycle, low yield, and strict control of fermentation conditions.

Application of Potassium Oliate: 

Food industry: Potassium oleate is mainly used as a food antioxidant in the food industry, which can prevent the oxidation and deterioration of food and extend the shelf life of food. Because potassium oleate has a strong fat smell, it can cover up the fat taste in food and improve the taste of food. For example, when making cookies, dried fruits, oils, and other foods, adding potassium oleate can effectively prevent food oxidation and deterioration while covering the taste of oil and improving the taste.

Pharmaceutical industry: Potassium oleate is also widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. It can be used as a carrier of drugs to help drugs better penetrate the human body. At the same time, potassium oleate can also be used to make drugs, such as drugs used to treat cardiovascular diseases. In addition, potassium oleate can also be used as an additive to drugs to improve the efficacy and stability of drugs.

Cosmetics Industry: Potassium oleate is widely used as an antioxidant and moisturizer in the cosmetics industry. At the same time, potassium oleate can also provide moisturizing and moisturizing effects for the skin, making the skin more smooth and delicate.

Commodity industry: Potassium oleate is also widely used in the commodity industry. For example, when making daily necessities such as detergents, shampoos, and body washes, adding potassium oleate can increase the moisturizing degree and moisturizing effect of the product while improving the antioxidant capacity of the product.

Industrial field: Potassium oleate is also widely used in the industrial field. For example, in steel production, potassium oleate can be used as a coolant to lower the temperature of molten metals. In construction and wood processing, potassium oleate can be used as a flame retardant to prevent the occurrence of fires.
