Properties of Sodium Laurate:
Sodium laurate (CAS 629-25-4) is a fine white powder; soluble in hot water and hot ethyl alcohol; lightly soluble in cold ethyl alcohol, ether and another organic solvent.
How is Sodium Laurate Produced?
1. The coconut oil or palm oil is added to the saponification kettle and heated directly with steam to melt.
2. Add NaOH aqueous solution three times, and saponify at reflux temperature for about 6h to get the crude soap.
3. Add saltwater into the crude soap solution, stand and separate impurities and by-product glycerin to get soap glue.
4. The sodium laurate product can be obtained by adjusting the pH value to about 8.5 with lye.
Applications of Sodium Laurate:
Sodium laurate can be used as soap, cleaning agent, and insecticide.
Sodium laurate is also used in organic synthesis
Sodium laurate is an important raw material for making soaps and shampoos for textiles and an indispensable component in soaps.
Sodium laurate can be used as a cosmetic excellent surfactant, emulsifier, lubricant, detergent.
Industrial sector
In the industrial field, the main application of sodium laurate is as a surfactant and emulsifier. In the petroleum industry, sodium laurate can be used to reduce the surface tension of water, thereby improving oil recovery. In addition, sodium laurate can produce detergents, wetting agents, penetrating agents, etc.
Food sector
In the food industry, sodium laurate is widely added as a preservative and antioxidant to various foods. It can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food. In addition, sodium laurate can be used as a spice to prepare various food essences.
Daily chemical industry
In daily chemicals, sodium laurate is mainly used as an additive in detergents and cosmetics. It can improve the product's foaming performance, washing effect, and skin touch. However, adding sodium laurate may also cause skin dryness and allergies, so appropriate control should be exercised.
Medical field
In medicine, sodium laurate has pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antibacterial. It is often used as a pharmaceutical intermediate or active ingredient, such as in preparing antibiotics and other drugs. However, the toxicity of sodium laurate limits its application in the pharmaceutical field.
