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.

Where is Olaflur used?

• Professional dental care: active anticaries agent and surface-active fluoride carrier that enables fluoride uptake into tooth enamel while modifying surface wetting behavior
• Oral care formulations: professional fluoride gels, varnishes, and rinses delivering fluoride to enamel surfaces more effectively than simple inorganic fluoride salts alone
• Dental prophylaxis products for clinic use: combined surfactant and fluoride-delivery action supporting enamel remineralization protocols
• Prescription-strength toothpastes and medicated rinses target high-caries-risk patients
• Antimicrobial coating formulations for medical and personal care substrates use its biocidal and surface-modifying properties.

Good to know: Material conforming to Ph. Eur. monograph standards is available for regulated dental product applications.
