Sodium Palmitate

The Structural Balancer: Perfecting Texture & Cleansing

Sodium Palmitate is the classic saturated fatty acid surfactant derived from palm oil (C16). It serves as the "backbone" of the soap industry. Its core value lies in its ability to balance structural hardness with moderate cleansing power, making it the ideal ingredient to stabilize formulations while delivering a creamy, non-drying lather.

01. Personal Care & Soap Manufacturing

The Foundation of Premium Bar Soaps.

• The "Golden Ratio" Partner: It is rarely used alone but is the essential partner to Sodium Cocinate. Blending Sodium Palmitate provides the soap with structural integrity (hardness) and prevents cracking, while moderating the aggressive stripping of coconut-based soaps.

• Balanced Cleansing: It offers the perfect middle ground: effective enough to remove daily grime and surface oils, yet mild enough to avoid the "tight, dry skin" feeling after washing.

• Rich, Creamy Lather: Unlike the loose, bubbly foam of shorter-chain soaps, Sodium Palmitate generates a dense, creamy foam that feels luxurious in body washes and moisturizing bar soaps.

02. Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing

Stable Performance for Tough Jobs.

• Metal Surface Treatment: A reliable component in industrial cleaners. It effectively emulsifies and strips mineral oils and grease from mechanical parts without the volatility of solvents.

• Textile Scouring: Functions as a key refining agent in the textile industry. It removes natural waxes, pectins, and impurities from raw fabrics, significantly improving hydrophilicity (water absorption) and ensuring uniform dyeing results later in the process.

03. Leather Processing

Essential Preparation for Tanning.

• Effective Degreasing: Used in the initial stages of leather processing. It helps remove excess natural fats from hides, creating a clean, uniform surface base that is ready for tanning and finishing chemicals.

Why Source Sodium Palmitate from Arshine?

Consistency Where It Counts.

• Precision Fatty Acid Profile: For soap manufacturers, consistency is king. If the C16 content fluctuates, your soap cracks or becomes mushy. Arshine ensures a standardized fatty acid profile in every batch, guaranteeing your final product maintains its intended hardness and lather.

• Supply Chain Security: Derived from palm oil, this market can be volatile. Arshine’s strong upstream relationships ensure secured volume and competitive pricing, protecting your production lines from market shortages.

• Logistics Expertise: We handle the heavy lifting. Whether you need bulk bags for industrial use or specific packaging for cosmetic processing, our logistics team optimizes shipping routes to reduce your landed costs.
