What is Oleoyl sarcosine?
Oleoyl sarcosine (CAS 110-25-8), also known as Sarkosyl O, is an oleic acid-derived sarcosine condensate.
Where is Oleoyl sarcosine used?
- Metalworking fluids and rust-preventive oils: adsorbs onto metal surfaces to form a protective barrier that suppresses corrosion without interfering with lubrication performance
- Cutting and grinding fluids: foam control
- Emulsion stability under high-shear conditions
- Personal care: mild surfactant and conditioning agent in shampoos, facial cleansers and shaving products where low irritation is a formulation priority
- Industrial cleaning and degreasing compounds improve soil removal and wetting on metal substrates.
Commercial specifications
- Purity typically 95% or higher depending on end-use requirements
- Bulk supply in drums and IBC containers
