Potassium Laurate
Potassium laurate is the potassium salt of lauric acid, produced by neutralizing lauric acid with potassium hydroxide. It typically appears as a white to off-white powder or flakes and features a long-chain fatty acid structure with distinct hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments. This amphiphilic molecular structure allows potassium laurate to function effectively as a surfactant, emulsifier, and cleansing agent.
Due to its excellent solubility in water and strong surface-active properties, potassium laurate is widely used in personal care, cosmetics, detergents, liquid soaps, household cleaning products, and industrial formulations.
At Evergreen Chemical Company Thailand, we supply premium-grade potassium laurate powder designed to meet the performance requirements of high-quality formulations. Manufactured under strict quality control systems and in compliance with international standards such as ISO and REACH, our potassium laurate delivers consistent quality, safety, and reliable performance batch after batch.
