  • Applications

    Sodium Oleate (CAS 143-19-1) is the sodium salt of oleic acid and is widely used as a surfactant and emulsifier in diverse formulations; in household and industrial cleaning products it acts as a detergent and wetting agent to improve cleansing performance; in cosmetics and personal care it serves as a surfactant and emulsifier to stabilize emulsions and enhance texture; in coatings, inks and paints it functions as a pigment dispersant and wetting agent to improve spread and pigment stability; in polymers and plastics processing it can act as a processing aid or dispersant for pigments and fillers; in textiles and dyeing finishing it supports wetting, emulsification and dye distribution; and in agricultural formulations it may be used as an adjuvant or surfactant to improve agrochemical efficacy. It is typically used in formulation contexts and is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
