About Potassium Oliate Potassium oil, also known as Potassium citrate-9-octadecenoate. C18H33KO2 describes the chemical formula. Potassium oil is either a solid brown or transparent liquid. It's a fatty acid potassium that is found in natural soaps.
Potassium Oleate can be defined as a liquid solution of potassium soap in water. Potassium Oleate acts as an emulsifier for many liquid soaps. Emulsifiers work as surfactants to reduce the liquid's surface tension.
Potassium Oleate can be found in vegetable oils, such as sunflower oil. It's used in soapmaking for vegetable glycerin soaps. Although it is irritating in pure form it can also be a problem when added to soap.
The high-purity potassium oil is a powdery liquid that can be stored, packaged, transported, and used during storage. The current refinement and purification process of solid potassium oil requires the use low-temperature and compressive methods to extract water. This process has difficult preparation, high energy usage, and long production cycles. Research and development of the solid potassium Oleate preparation method is essential.

How does Potassium Oleate made ??
Preparation method for solid powdered potassium oilate. The steps involved are:
1) A paste of oleic acid is combined with potassium hydroxide in water to create a potassium oil solution. It has a mass concentration of 10-20%. 40% comes from the concentration at 70-80 -60% Potassium Oleate in flowable viscous form.
2) Stir the urea in the alcohol solution at 70 to 90 degrees C. Then, heat saturated urea/alcohol solution.
Mix the viscous potassium-oleate with the urea/alcohol solution. Continue to stir to combine the ingredients. Cool the solution to -5-0. Let the potassium-oleate solution cool to room temperature. The potassium-oleate precipitate will form.
Potassium Oleate - Application
Potassium oil is both a potassium and trimerization catalyst of polyurethane polyisocyanurate. It's widely used in PIR foam systems for polyurethane insulation board. It is used extensively in rubber adhesives, foaming agents and release agents. Potassium Oleate acts as an emulsifier for many liquid soaps. It is also used to make facial cleansers, mustache waxes and body washes. Emulsifiers are surfactants that reduce liquid surface tension. Potassium Oleate keeps these chemicals from becoming separate chemicals by preventing them from being separated.
Additionally, potassium oleate may also be available
Preparation and application of antifungal agents for paint
Prepare multifunctional microemulsified gasoline;
Prepare anionic viscoelastic, surfactant-based gel.
