Olaflur

Olaflur (CAS 6818-37-7), also referenced under the development code SK&F 38095, is a fluoride-containing amine surfactant used primarily in professional and consumer dental care.

It functions as an active anticaries agent and surface-active fluoride carrier, enabling fluoride uptake into tooth enamel while simultaneously modifying surface wetting behavior.

In oral care formulations, this compound is incorporated into professional fluoride gels, varnishes, and rinses where it delivers fluoride to enamel surfaces more effectively than simple inorganic fluoride salts alone.

Dental prophylaxis products intended for clinic use rely on its combined surfactant and fluoride-delivery action to support enamel remineralization protocols during routine patient treatments.

It is also used in prescription-strength toothpastes and medicated rinses targeting high-caries-risk patients. Beyond dental applications, its biocidal and surface-modifying properties have been evaluated.

These properties are useful in antimicrobial coating formulations for medical and personal care substrates. The material is typically supplied as a liquid or viscous solution for manufacturing.

Concentration and grade specifications are aligned to pharmaceutical and oral care requirements. Material conforming to Ph.Eur. monograph standards is available for regulated dental product applications.

Quantities range from laboratory-scale to bulk supply, depending on supplier capability and formulation demand. This ensures consistent availability for both research and large-scale production needs.
