Butyl oleate sulfate

Butyl oleate sulfate (CAS 38621-44-2) is an anionic sulfate ester derived from oleic acid, combining a butyl ester with a sulfate group to deliver surface-active and lubrication performance in industrial formulations.

It functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and lubricant across textile, leather, metalworking, and cleaning applications. In textile processing, it acts as a fiber lubricant and emulsifier in spin finish formulations.

This chemical reduces friction during yarn production and improves fiber cohesion. Leather manufacturers incorporate it into fatliquoring and softening compounds, where it helps distribute oils evenly through the hide.

This process is essential to achieve consistent softness in the final leather product. Industrial and institutional cleaning formulations use it for its degreasing and emulsification properties in various settings.

It is particularly effective in hard-surface cleaners targeting oil and grease soils. In metalworking fluids, it contributes lubricity and helps emulsify cutting oils, supporting tool life and surface finish quality.

Butyl oleate sulfate is typically supplied as a liquid or paste, depending on concentration and formulation. It is available primarily in technical grade, suited to industrial end uses where high-purity is not required.

Bulk supply in drums or intermediate bulk containers is standard for industrial procurement volumes. This product offers reliable performance for manufacturers requiring stable emulsification and lubrication properties.
