Oleic acid (oleic acid) is an important natural Chemical substance, one of the main fatty acids in lipid compounds in living organisms. Pure oleic acid is a colorless or nearly colorless liquid. Usually commercially available oleic acid is a yellow transparent oily liquid with an oleic acid content of less than 80%, so we refer to oil as An acid content of more than 90% is called high-purity oleic acid.
Characteristics of high-purity oleic acid:
High stability: According to the supply of high-purity oleic acid Understand: High-purity oleic acid is colorless, odorless, not easily oxidized, and has extremely high stability. Generally, oleic acid contains unstable trace substances that are easy to color, so it is easy to color, produce odor, and is extremely unstable under storage or heating conditions.
Low irritation: The skin irritation test of high-purity oleic acid shows that it is completely non-irritating to the skin.
Physiological and pharmacological effects: As a component of various lipids, oleic acid can not only maintain the structure of biological membranes, but also control the activity of membrane-bonding enzymes. It has regulatory functions in living organisms. It has a significant effect on promoting absorption of some drugs that are difficult to absorb.
Applications of high-purity oleic acid:
High-purity oleic acid has good stability and high safety , non-irritating to the skin. In addition to being an important chemical reagent, it can also be processed into oleic acid derivatives, which is more suitable for use in medicine, cosmetics, information technology, bioengineering and other fields. In the rubber and plastics industry, it is used to produce oleic acid amide (slip agent, release agent) and liquid composite heat stabilizer. Other industries are used to produce fine chemical products such as lubricants, emulsifiers, detergents, fatty alcohols and synthetic esters.
