Morpholine oleate

Morpholine oleate (CAS 1095-66-5) is the salt formed between morpholine and oleic acid, functioning as a corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and lubrication additive across several industrial sectors. It combines the amine basicity of morpholine with the fatty acid character of oleic acid, making it effective in water-based and oil-based systems where both surface protection and emulsification are required.

In metalworking fluids and rust-preventive formulations, it protects ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces by forming a protective film that displaces moisture and inhibits oxidation. Textile and leather processing operations use it as a softening and lubricating agent during fiber treatment and finishing stages. In coatings and emulsion systems, it acts as an emulsifier.

This compound helps to stabilize oil-in-water dispersions and improve coating adhesion to metal substrates. Adhesive and sealant formulators incorporate it to improve wetting and dispersion of pigments. Morpholine oleate is typically supplied as a viscous liquid or paste at ambient temperature. It is available primarily in technical grade, with purity specifications tailored to industrial end-use requirements.

Packaging options commonly include drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for bulk industrial supply. This ensures safe handling and efficient transport for large-scale manufacturing operations.
