Monoethanolamine Oleate CAS 2272-11-9

What Monoethanolamine Oleate Is

Monoethanolamine oleate is the amine soap of oleic acid and monoethanolamine, a viscous liquid or paste. The soap disperses in water and gives oil in water emulsification, detergency, foam and temporary rust protection, tolerating oils and hard water. It is used in soluble oils, metalworking fluids, textile auxiliaries and cleaners. UATChem supplies industrial and cosmetic grades, with active matter and free amine or acid on the COA.

Metalworking, Textile and Cleaning Uses

• Metalworking fluids. An emulsifier and rust inhibitor in soluble oils, emulsifiable concentrates and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids, where it stabilizes the oil in water mix and protects metal parts between operations.
• Textile and leather auxiliaries. Used in scouring, wetting, softening and leveling formulations and in leather fat liquoring, where an oleate soap helps carry oils and lift soil.
• Cleaners and personal care. Adds detergency, foam and viscosity to industrial and household cleaners, liquid soaps and body washes, and emulsifies oils in creams and lotions.
• Other industrial uses. Serves as an emulsifier in agricultural and specialty formulations and oil spill dispersant work; material for pharmaceutical preparations can be discussed on request.

Typical Specifications

Industrial and cosmetic grades differ in active matter, free amine and free fatty acid, reported on the COA for each lot; the table below identifies the material.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Packed in 15 kg blue plastic pails, 200 kg blue steel or plastic drums and 1000 L IBCs, matching the warehouse photos. Keep containers sealed in a cool place and protect from frost; the product thickens when cold and returns to a pourable state after gentle warming.
• COA, TDS and SDS are provided for every lot, with active matter and free amine or acid on the COA. Industrial and cosmetic grades are available, and documentation for pharmaceutical use can be discussed on request.
• Samples can be arranged for evaluation. For a quote, UATChem needs the grade, quantity, packing (pail, drum or IBC) and destination port.

FAQ

Q: What is monoethanolamine oleate used for?

A: It is an amine soap emulsifier for metalworking fluids, textile auxiliaries, cleaners and personal care products.

Q: Is monoethanolamine oleate soluble in water?

A: It disperses in water into emulsions and soapy solutions and mixes with alcohol and oils; the viscosity rises in the cold.

Q: What is the difference between MEA oleate and TEA oleate?

A: Both are oleic acid soaps; MEA oleate is the monoethanolamine soap, chosen for firmer emulsification and rust protection.

Q: What packaging is available for monoethanolamine oleate?

A: UATChem supplies it in 15 kg pails, 200 kg drums and 1000 L IBCs, with samples and COA, TDS and SDS available.
