Sodium Rapeseedate (CAS 68440-17-5) is the sodium salt of rapeseed oil fatty acids, produced through saponification of rapeseed oil.

Where is Sodium Rapeseedate used?

• Personal care: primary cleansing agent in bar soaps and syndet formulations, with a fatty acid profile supporting skin-compatible lather
• Home care and industrial cleaning: biodegradable surfactant
• Degreasing: hard surface cleaners and industrial degreasers
• Textile and leather processing: emulsifier and lubricant in fiber treatment baths and softening agents
• Metalworking: lubricity additive in water-based cutting fluids and rolling emulsions, reducing friction and extending tool life
• It functions as a natural-derived surfactant, delivering emulsification, cleaning, and lubrication.

Commercial specifications

• Paste or liquid, with concentration and sodium content varying by grade and intended application
• Higher-purity grades for personal care formulations
• Drums or IBCs for bulk industrial procurement
