Potassium Oleate

The Premier Choice for Liquid Soaps & Gentle Emulsions.

Potassium Oleate is the potassium salt of unsaturated oleic acid. It stands out as a superior alternative to sodium salts for liquid formulations due to its excellent cold-water solubility and lower viscosity. Whether used as a primary surfactant in gentle cleansers or a high-efficiency emulsifier in industrial applications, it delivers performance without the harshness.

01. Personal Care & Baby Products

The "Liquid Gold" Base for Sensitive Skin.

• Crystal Clear Formulations: Ideally suited for manufacturing clear liquid hand soaps, body washes, and facial cleansers. Unlike sodium soaps which can cloud up, Potassium Oleate maintains high clarity and fluidity even at lower temperatures.

• Infant-Grade Mildness: Its unsaturated structure makes it significantly milder than coconut-based soaps. It is the top choice for baby washes and sensitive skin products, effectively removing dirt while retaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

• Active Ingredient Carrier: In hair care, it functions as a solubilizer and emulsifier, helping to disperse oils and active ingredients evenly in shampoos and conditioners without weighing hair down.

02. Industrial & Textile Solutions

Cleaning Power with Surface Protection.

• Textile Refining: A powerhouse in the dyeing and printing industry. It acts as a penetrating and scouring agent, removing impurities from fabrics to improve color fastness and ensure even dyeing results.

• Metal Cleaning: An effective degreaser that protects as it cleans. While removing oil and grime, it is less aggressive on metal surfaces compared to synthetic surfactants, helping to preserve the finish of precision parts.

03. Agricultural Applications

Green Chemistry for Crop Protection.

• Agrochemical Adjuvant: Widely used as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations. It improves the adhesion (stickiness) of the spray liquid onto plant leaves, ensuring better efficacy.

• Reduced Phytotoxicity: Being a natural fatty acid salt, it is safer for crops. It reduces the risk of chemical burn (phytotoxicity) on plants compared to harsh petroleum-based emulsifiers.
