High Quality Sodium Oleate CAS 143-19-1

Description of Sodium Oleate：

Sodium oleate is an organic compound with the formula C18H14O3Na2 and a pale yellow to yellow transparent liquid or white powder in appearance. It is a common emulsifier and surfactant with a wide range of uses.

Sodium oleate has strong surface activity, which can form micelles in aqueous solution and reduce the surface tension of water. In addition, it also has the effect of emulsification and dispersion and can be used as an emulsifier and dispersant. Sodium oleate has a strong emulsifying ability and can form a stable emulsion, which is widely used as an emulsifier and dispersant in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Sodium oleate also has antioxidant and antiseptic properties. It can form a stable complex with metal ions to prevent metal ions from reacting with other substances, thus playing a role in corrosion protection. In addition, sodium oleate can also be used as an antioxidant to prevent oxidation and deterioration of food, medicine, and other substances.

The water solubility and high-temperature resistance of sodium oleate are also good. It is easily soluble in water and will not decompose or deteriorate even under high-temperature conditions. Therefore, sodium oleate is widely used as an additive in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other industries, which can improve the stability, oxidation resistance, and taste of the substance.

It should be noted that sodium oleate has a certain irritation and should not be excessive use. If used in excess, it may cause an irritating reaction to the skin or eyes. Therefore, in the use of sodium oleate should pay attention to safety, control the amount of use, and use methods.

How Sodium Oleate is Produced?  

Sodium hydroxide and oleic acid reaction: oleic acid and sodium hydroxide, in accordance with a certain proportion of the mixture, react at a certain temperature for a certain time after the end of the reaction through cooling, crystallization, filtration, drying, and other steps to obtain sodium oleate products. The advantage of this method is that the process is simple and easy to operate. Still, a certain amount of wastewater and waste gas will be generated during the reaction process, which needs to be treated.

Direct saponification method: oleic acid and sodium hydroxide are mixed according to a certain proportion, without separation and washing, directly heated and stirred, and sodium oleate solution is obtained after the reaction. Still, the quality of the product is not stable enough, and the high-quality sodium oleate product needs to be obtained after follow-up treatment.

Transesterification method: the oleate and sodium methanol or sodium ethanol and other alkaline substances are mixed reaction at a certain temperature for a certain time; after the end of the reaction through separation, washing, drying, and other steps to obtain sodium oleate products. Still, it requires the use of organic solvents such as methanol or ethanol, which has a certain impact on the environment.

Enzyme catalysis: The use of enzyme catalysis to react with oleic acid and sodium hydroxide to obtain sodium oleate. It requires the use of enzyme preparations and has a high cost.

Application of Sodium Oleate：

Food industry: Sodium oleate is mainly used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the food industry, which can improve the stability of food. For example, when making ice cream, ice cream, drinks, and other foods, adding sodium oleate can play a role in emulsifying and stabilizing, preventing food stratification and precipitation. In addition, sodium oleate can also be used as a food antioxidant to prevent food oxidation and deterioration.

Pharmaceutical industry: Sodium oleate can be used as a drug carrier and lubricant in the pharmaceutical industry. It can increase the stability and solubility of the drug and improve the efficacy and bioavailability of the drug. For example, when making drug capsules, tablets, suppositories, and other drugs, adding sodium oleate can play a role in lubrication and slow release, improving the efficacy and stability of drugs.

Cosmetics Industry: Sodium oleate is widely used as an emulsifier, moisturizer, and antioxidant in the cosmetics industry. It can improve the texture and increase the antioxidant capacity of cosmetics. For example, when making cosmetics such as skin care products, shampoos, and body washes, adding sodium oleate can play an emulsifying and moisturizing role.

Commodity industry: Sodium oleate is also widely used in the commodity industry. For example, in the production of detergent, laundry detergent, hand sanitizer, and other daily necessities, adding sodium oleate can increase the moisture and moisturizing effect of the product while improving the antioxidant capacity of the product. In addition, sodium oleate can also be used as a softener in leather processing to improve the softness and comfort of leather.

Industrial field: Sodium oleate is also widely used in the industrial field. For example, it can be used as an emulsifier in the petroleum industry to help oil extraction and processing. In addition, sodium oleate can also be used as a metal cleaning agent, pesticide dispersant, etc., which has a good application prospect.
