Pure oleic acid is a colorless oily liquid with the smell of animal oil or vegetable oil. The color gradually becomes darker after being left in the air for a long time. The industrial product is a yellow to red oily liquid with a lard smell. Using animal and vegetable oleic acid as raw material, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and maleic anhydride are selectively reacted to obtain high-purity oleic acid with a content of more than 90% after separation.
Oleic acid has a wide range of uses, including the following:
Oleic acid is an organic chemical raw material that can be epoxidized to produce epoxy oleate. , used as plastic plasticizer, can produce azelaic acid after oxidation, and is the raw material of polyamide resin.
As a chemical reagent, oleic acid is used as a chromatographic comparison sample and in biochemical research to detect elements such as calcium, copper, magnesium, and sulfur.
Oleic acid has ideal antioxidant properties and no aftertaste. It can be hydrogenated to obtain oils with different hardnesses
Grease can be used to make soaps, lubricants, and ointments. , plastic plasticizers, engineering plastics, synthetic fibers, raw materials for nylon 8 and 9.
Oleic acid can be used to produce synthetic detergents, high-grade soaps, soft numbing agents, floating oil collectors for metal mineral processing, cultural and educational typing wax paper, ballpoint pen oil solvents and oleate salts.
It is understood that high-purity oleic acid obtained by processing industrial oleic acid is an important chemical reagent and can be widely used in chemical analysis, organic synthesis, and pharmaceutical preparation.
