Overview
Cis-9-Octadecenoic acid also known as Oleic acid is a mono-unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. Oleic acid is the most widely distributed and abundant fatty acid in nature. Very few fats are known to contain less than 10% of this acid.
It is an omega- 9 fatty acid which belongs to a family of unsaturated fatty acids which have in common a final carbon–carbon double bond in the ninth bond from the methyl end of the fatty acid.
Oleic Acid is naturally found in various animal and vegetable fats in the triglyceride form.
It is a colourless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odour.
Uses of Oleic Acid
Cosmetic
- Oleic acid is excellent for dry or aging skin as it penetrates easily and deeply into the skin’s surface and hence is used in moisturizers.
- Used as an ingredient in hair care products since it controls water loss in the hair strands while making the hair softer, thicker, and stronger.
- Used in soaps since it helps nourish the skin.
Industrial
- Oleic acid has many industrial applications such as chemical intermediates, lubricants, detergents, surfactants, epoxy resin esters, emulsifiers and protective coatings, release agents and caulks & sealants, among others.
Food Industry
- Oleic Acid is used in the food industry to make synthetic butters and cheeses, to flavour baked goods, sweets, ice cream and lemonade.
- Its high stability can maintain preferred flavours in storage, extend shelf life, and thus reduce packaging
Pharmaceutical
- High Purity Oleic acid is used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals, as an emulsifying and as a pharmaceutical solvent.
Health benefits
- High Purity Oleic acid, which is an omega-9 fatty acid, benefits health by helping to lower LDL (low-density lipoproteins) (the bad cholesterol) and raise HDL (high-density lipoproteins) (the good cholesterol).
Why ACME?
Acme Synthetic Chemicals is the Manufacturer, Supplier and also Exporter of High Purity Oleic Acid with minimum 99% purity by Gas Chromatography (GC). This is a pharma grade product and it differs from the industrial grade which has a purity of 75%.
Since Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid it is prone to degradation when normal purification processes are used. Acme has done intense research and developed proprietary specialised techniques to upgrade the purity to 99% by GC. With over 3 decades of manufacturing experience, Acme is your most reliable and cost-effective source for High Purity Oleic acid.
