Oleic Acid

Oleic Acid is a versatile yellow to red oily liquid with a characteristic lardlike odor. Known for its ability to darken upon exposure to air, it is insoluble in water but readily soluble in alcohol, ether, and most organic solvents. This nontoxic and combustible compound serves as an essential ingredient in soap production, providing a slippery feel, stingy lather, and gentle conditioning properties, making it suitable for skin. Oleic Acid is also widely used as a soldering flux for joining lead components and as an emulsifier in industrial applications. With a typical analysis showing a high content of oleic acid (67%-77%), alongside linoleic acid (5%-15%), it is a high-quality fatty acid suitable for specialized purposes.

Key Features

• Yellow to red oily liquid with lardlike odor.
• Darkens on exposure to air, soluble in alcohol and ether.
• Nontoxic and combustible, versatile in industrial use.
• Enhances soap lather, conditioning, and skin-friendliness.
• Effective soldering flux and emulsifier for multiple applications.
