Description

Sodium linoleate (CAS 822-17-3 ), also marketed under the trade name PRISAVON L, is the sodium salt of linoleic acid. It is a naturally derived fatty acid soap used industrially as an emulsifier and surfactant. It bridges the gap between natural-origin formulation requirements and functional cleaning or dispersion performance across multiple sectors. In personal care and cosmetics, it functions as a skin-conditioning emulsifier. It is commonly used in creams, lotions, and cleansing bars where a natural fatty acid profile is commercially desirable. Textile and leather processors use it as a scouring and degreasing agent to remove oils. This chemical helps remove contaminants from fiber and hide surfaces during wet processing. In paper manufacturing, it supports fiber dispersion and surface treatment formulations for various industrial paper grades. Food-grade applications include emulsification in processed food systems where sodium salts of unsaturated fatty acids are acceptable. These must meet relevant regulatory frameworks such as FCC or USP standards. Sodium linoleate is typically supplied as a liquid paste or aqueous solution, with concentration and viscosity varying by grade. Both technical and food-grade specifications are available to meet market requirements. Buyers should confirm purity, active content, and origin of the parent linoleic acid when evaluating suppliers. This is especially important for sensitive applications in the pharmaceutical or food industries. Contact us for supply of Sodium linoleate Request Quote
