Sodium Rapeseedate

Sodium Rapeseedate (CAS 68440-17-5) is the sodium salt of rapeseed oil fatty acids, produced through saponification of rapeseed oil. It functions as a natural-derived surfactant, delivering emulsification, cleaning, and lubrication across multiple industrial sectors.

In personal care, it is used as a primary cleansing agent in bar soaps and syndet formulations, where its fatty acid profile supports skin-compatible lather. Home care and industrial cleaning products incorporate it as a biodegradable surfactant.

This material is highly effective for degreasing formulations, including hard surface cleaners and industrial degreasers. Textile and leather processing operations use it as an emulsifier and lubricant in fiber treatment baths and softening agents.

In metalworking, it functions as a lubricity additive in water-based cutting fluids and rolling emulsions, reducing friction and extending tool life. This versatility makes it a staple in heavy industrial manufacturing processes.

Sodium Rapeseedate is typically supplied as a paste or liquid, with concentration and sodium content varying by grade and intended application. Technical-grade material is standard for industrial cleaning and metalworking applications.

Higher-purity grades are available for personal care formulations requiring specific aesthetic and safety profiles. Packaging is commonly offered in drums or IBCs to suit bulk industrial procurement and logistics requirements.
