Chemical Structure
Basic Info
Potassium oleate, a salt of a long-chained fatty acid, is produced when potassium hydroxide and natural oleic acids are neutralized. Its molecular formula is C18H33KO2. Potassium oleate is a surfactant that has excellent emulsifying and dispersing properties. It’s widely used as a cleaning agent and in cosmetic formulations.Its highly efficient emulsification ability can stabilize the emulsion system and improve the product performance in lotion polymerization, metalworking fluid and pesticide preparation.
Potassium oleate is a common component of metalworking fluids and cutting fluids in industrial applications due to its high lubricity. Potassium Oleate is also used as a template to synthesize liquid crystals, Nanomaterials and other advanced materials. This allows them to be controlled in terms of their properties and structure.Potassium oleate, as the main active substance in soap and liquid detergents, provides good foaming and stain removal effects, while being gentle on the skin, making it suitable for high-end cleaning products.
Potassium oleate has good biodegradability and is an environmentally friendly chemical raw material. Potassium oleate, derived from plant-derived oleic acids, is used to develop green chemicals and environmentally-friendly products. Because of its sensitivity to acidity, it’s important to control the pH in formulation design in order to avoid performance degradation. Also, high temperatures or acidic conditions should not be allowed to decompose the oleate.

Product Packaging
1. Industrial use
Emulsifiers are used to lubricate and disperse products.
Metalworking Fluid: Potassium Oleate is used widely in metal cutting fluids and drawing fluids. It can provide corrosion resistance and lubrication while reducing friction during the machining.
Lotion polymerization: in the process of lotion polymerization, potassium oleate is used as an emulsifier, which can stabilize the emulsion system of monomer and aqueous phase, and help to prepare high-quality polymer lotion, such as acrylic resin, styrene butadiene emulsion, etc.
Cleaning agents and industrial detergents: The cleaning and emulsifying properties of potassium oleate make it an important component in industrial cleaning agents, suitable for cleaning metal surfaces, mechanical equipment, and hard surfaces.
Release agent: Due to its lubricating properties, potassium oleate is used as a release agent in the production of concrete and rubber products, which can reduce adhesion and improve product surface quality.
2. Function: Emulsification, moisturizing.
Soaps and detergents: Potassium-oleate, the active ingredient of liquid soaps and transparent soaps, is a mild, non-irritating soap that has excellent stain and foam removal abilities.
Skin care products: Potassium oleate is used in lotions, skin creams, and hair conditioners as an emulsifier. This stabilizes the emulsion, resulting in a product with a uniform texture.
Sunscreen: Potassium Oleate is used to stabilize emulsification in sunscreen formulations that contain water and oil. It also helps disperse the fat-soluble sunscreen agents evenly.
3. Agricultural use
Core Function: Surfactant and Enhancer
Pesticide preparation: Potassium oleate is an important emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide emulsifiable concentrates, suspending agents and wettable powders, which contributes to the uniform distribution of active ingredients and spray effect.
Insecticides and herbicides: As a low toxicity surfactant, potassium oleate is used as an insecticidal enhancer in biopesticides to improve efficacy and environmental friendliness.
Fertilizer Additives: Used to prepare functional and slow-release fertilizers. They improve the absorption and solubility of fertilizers. Coatings and Inks
Dispersant, Rheological Modifier and Core Function
Potassium oleate is used as a pigment dispersion in coatings and inks to improve dispersibility, stabilize pigment particles and prevent settling.
Potassium oleate improves the flow characteristics of the coatings or inks by improving their application during construction.
5. Environmental Protection and Green Chemical Industry
Core Functions: Environmental Protection and Degradability Characteristics
Potassium oleate is a biodegradable cleaner. Its source comes from plant oleic acids, and it has a good biodegradability.
Wastewater treatment: The surface emulsifying and surface activity of potassium oleate is used to remove oil and organic pollutants from wastewater.
Green synthesis: Potassium-oleate is a renewable chemical that can be used to produce green chemicals, such as biobased materials and eco-lubricants. Food and medicine uses
Emulsification & Dispersion: Core Function
In pharmaceutical preparations, potassium oleate is used to improve uniformity and application of the drug.
Food processing (indirect uses): Potassium-oleate can be used in packaging materials for food and as a lubricant in contact with foods. Its biocompatibility and safety make it ideal for food-contact environments.
Applications based on physical and chemical properties
Surface activity performance. Potassium oleate can lower surface area tension and exhibit emulsification and diffusion effects.
Low poisoning, eco-friendly: made from oleic plant acid. Naturally degradable. Appropriate for use in environmental management, environment-friendly chemistry and various other areas.
Potassium oleate is a chemical that has been utilized in agriculture, sector and customer items for many years. Its multifunctionality, as well as its ability to be reused, makes it a useful raw material.
