Oleic Acid 10 L

Bulk Fatty Acid Supply for Continuous Manufacturing Lines

Oleic acid is one of the most widely used monounsaturated fatty acids across chemical, mechanical, and personal care manufacturing worldwide. The 10-liter packaging is designed for facilities that require consistent bulk volumes - production lines for lubricants, metalworking fluids, textile finishing agents, and large-scale cosmetic manufacturing. This ingredient belongs to the Acids, Salts, Alcohols, and Alkalis category, which brings together core reagents used in both industrial processes and formulation laboratories.

In metalworking, oleic acid serves as a component of cutting fluids and corrosion-inhibiting formulations, providing lubrication during machining operations. In the textile industry, it appears in finishing oils and antistatic treatments applied to fibers before spinning or weaving. In household chemical production, the compound functions as an emulsifier that stabilizes oil-water mixtures used in surface care and cleaning formulations. Certain refined grades also find application in the food industry as processing aids in specific fat blends, though this use requires strict quality control of the raw material.

Within cosmetic manufacturing, oleic acid is valued for its ability to soften skin texture and enhance the penetration of other active ingredients in a formula. It is commonly included in creams, balms, massage products, and treatments for rough or dry skin, and often works as a co-emulsifier alongside fatty alcohols. Typical usage levels in finished formulations range from 2 to 10 percent depending on product type and desired texture. The acid should be introduced during the oil phase blending stage at 60-70 degrees Celsius, before combining with the water phase.

This acid pairs well with other functional ingredients in complex formulations. For hydrating blends, manufacturers often combine it with Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid, which supports moisture retention in the skin. Antioxidant-focused batches frequently include Ascorbic Acid, while formulations targeting tissue support sometimes incorporate Folic Acid. These combinations allow producers to build multifunctional products suited for large-volume output.

Oleic acid also remains a relevant raw material in soap production, contributing to a softer lather and a smoother finished bar, though this represents just one of many possible applications rather than the primary use case for this bulk packaging.

Store the product in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area at temperatures not exceeding 25 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, since the unsaturated bonds are sensitive to oxidation over time.

Industrial Batch Hand Cream Base

Oleic acid 65 g

Shea butter 75 g

Emulsifying wax 50 g

Glycerin 30 ml

Distilled water 775 ml

Preservative 5 ml

Heat the oil phase containing oleic acid, shea butter, and emulsifying wax to 70 degrees until fully melted, warm the water phase with glycerin separately to the same temperature, then slowly combine both phases while stirring continuously, cool to 40 degrees before adding the preservative, and transfer the finished cream into containers.
