Sodium Oleate

High-Solubility Surfactant & Superior Emulsifier

Sodium Oleate is the sodium salt of oleic acid (unsaturated fatty acid). Its distinct molecular structure gives it a significant advantage over saturated soaps (like Stearate): superior solubility even in cold water and exceptional emulsifying properties. It is the preferred choice for liquid formulations and delicate processing where hardness is not required, but fluidity and mildness are essential.

01. Personal Care & Cosmetics

The Secret to Clear Liquids and Uniform Color.

• Liquid Soap Base: Unlike Stearates which thicken/solidify, Sodium Oleate dissolves easily, making it the ideal base for liquid soaps, body washes, and facial cleansers. It cleanses effectively while being milder than standard soaps, suitable for normal to sensitive skin.

• Hair Color & Conditioners: Acts as a critical emulsifier in hair dyes. It helps disperse dye pigments evenly, ensuring uniform color application without spotting. In conditioners, it aids in rinsing, leaving hair soft without heavy residue.

02. Textile & Leather Processing

Enhancing Quality in Soft Goods.

• Textile Refining: A high-performance scouring and wetting agent. It effectively removes natural impurities and waxes from raw fabrics.

• Dye Leveling: In the dyeing process, it improves the color fastness and adhesion of dyes, ensuring fabrics are colored evenly and vibrantly.

• Leather Softening: Used during the tanning and fatliquoring stages. It penetrates leather fibers to act as a softener, improving the flexibility, sheen, and "hand feel" of the finished leather.

03. Industrial & Agricultural Solutions

Stability and Protection.

• Metal Cleaning: An effective degreaser that is gentler than harsh solvents. It removes oil and grime from metal parts with reduced risk of surface corrosion, preserving the metal’s finish.

• Agrochemical Adjuvant: Widely used as an emulsifier in pesticide formulations. It enhances the stability of the emulsion, ensuring the active ingredients spread well on crops while reducing phytotoxicity (harm to plants).

• Eco-Friendly: Highly biodegradable and derived from natural sources, making it a safe choice for agricultural and environmental applications.

Why Source Sodium Oleate from Arshine?

Freshness and Quality Control.

• Oxidation Management: As an unsaturated fatty acid derivative, Sodium Oleate is sensitive to oxidation (yellowing) if stored improperly. Arshine implements strict storage and packaging controls to ensure the material you receive is fresh, ensuring your final products remain shelf-stable.

• Purity Standards: We supply high-purity grades suitable for sensitive applications like personal care and textile dyeing, minimizing impurities that could interfere with your formulas.

• Global Logistics: With our extensive export experience, we handle the logistics efficiently, ensuring this essential emulsifier reaches your factory on time and in perfect condition.
