Potassium Oleate Supplier in China

Industrial-Grade Potassium Oleate for Liquid Soap, Specialty Soap & Emulsifying Applications

Potassium Oleate is the potassium salt of oleic acid (C18:1) and is widely used as a soap base, pengemulsi, and surfactant in liquid soap, specialty soap formulations, and industrial cleaning systems.
Compared with sodium-based soaps, Potassium Oleate offers significantly higher water solubility, better alcohol compatibility, and smoother formulation behavior, making it especially suitable for liquid and semi-liquid systems.

KosNature supplies industrial-grade Potassium Oleate with controlled active content, excellent solubility, and stable performance for manufacturers requiring consistent quality and reliable supply.

What Is Potassium Oleate?

Potassium Oleate is an anionic surfactant produced by neutralizing oleic acid with potassium hydroxide.
Its chemical structure provides:

long-chain fatty acid hydrophobic interaction

potassium-based ionic head with enhanced solubility

stable emulsification behavior in aqueous and alcoholic systems

Because potassium soaps dissolve more readily than sodium soaps, Potassium Oleate is widely preferred in liquid soap, transparent soap, emulsifying systems, and specialty cleaning formulations.

Key Advantages of Our Potassium Oleate

— 01. Excellent Water Solubility

With near-complete solubility in water, Potassium Oleate enables clear, stable liquid soap and detergent formulations without precipitation or clouding.

— 02. Superior Alcohol Compatibility

High solubility in alcohol systems makes it suitable for transparent soap, alcohol-based cleaners, and specialty emulsions.

— 03. Mild & Formulation-Friendly Behavior

Compared with sodium soaps, Potassium Oleate forms softer, smoother soap systems with improved handling and process stability.

— 04. Stable Performance in Industrial Systems

Maintains consistent emulsification and surfactant performance across a broad range of processing conditions.

— 05. Designed for Liquid & Specialty Soap Applications

Optimized for liquid soap bases, semi-liquid soap, emulsified cleaners, and specialty industrial soaps.
