Wide Applications of Vetetable Oleic Acid

Vetetable oleic acidVetetable oleic acid is light yellow oil liquid at room temperature with the melting point 13.4℃. It is soluble in oganic solvents such as alcohol,gasline etc, but it is insoluble in water.
It is widely  applied in plastic plasticizer, engineering plastic, synthetic fiber, nylon 8 and 9, synthetic detergents, washing soaps, paint, ink, paper, carbon, oil and other materials, ball-pen oil additives, textile, and crude oil recovery timber anticorrosion additive additives, as well the demulsifier.Vetetable oleic acid is also used in production and synthesis of  pesticide emulsifier, textile auxiliaries, oleic acid soap and raw materials of metal cutting fluids. Furthermore, it is available for mineral flotation agents and so on.
Oleic acid is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in various animal and vegetable fats and oils. It is an odorless, colourless oil, although commercial samples may be yellowish. In chemical terms, oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. It has the formula CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH.[2] The term "oleic" means related to, or derived from, oil or olive, the oil of which is predominantly derived from oleic acid.
As a kind of fat, oleic acid is one of the better ones to consume. As a replacement for other saturated fats, it can lower total cholesterol level and raise levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) while lowering low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), also known as the “bad” cholesterol. Usually switching to an oil high in oleic acid is not difficult since there are numerous sources available.
