Potassium Laurate

Potassium Stearate

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.

Potassium Laurate Applications

1. Personal Care & Cosmetics Industry

Potassium laurate is commonly used in liquid soaps, facial cleansers, body washes, shampoos, and shaving products. Its cleansing efficiency, foaming ability, and mildness make it a key ingredient in personal care formulations.

2. Detergents & Household Cleaning Products

In household and industrial cleaning applications, potassium laurate acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier, effectively removing grease and dirt while maintaining formulation stability.

3. Industrial & Institutional Cleaners

Potassium laurate is used in industrial cleaning formulations where high solubility, effective emulsification, and reliable cleaning performance are required.

4. Specialty Chemical Formulations

It is also utilized in specialty chemical systems where surfactant performance, emulsification, and biodegradability are important formulation criteria.
