High Quality Potassium Myristate CAS 13429-27-1

Description of Potassium Myristate：   

Potassium myristate is a non-ionic surfactant with strong surface activity, which can form micelles in aqueous solution and reduce the surface tension of water. In addition, it also has the effect of emulsification and dispersion and can be used as an emulsifier and dispersant. Potassium myristate has a strong emulsifying ability and can form a stable emulsion, which is widely used as an emulsifier and dispersant in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Potassium myristate also has antioxidant and antiseptic properties. It can form a stable complex with metal ions to prevent metal ions from reacting with other substances, thus playing a role in corrosion protection. In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as an antioxidant to prevent oxidation and deterioration of food, medicine, and other substances.

The water solubility and high-temperature resistance of potassium myristate are also good. It is easily soluble in water and will not decompose or deteriorate even under high-temperature conditions. Therefore, potassium myristate is widely used as an additive in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other industries, which can improve the stability, antioxidants, and taste of the substance.

In addition, potassium myristate also has a lubricating and softening effect. It can be used as a lubricant to reduce friction and wear. In plastics, rubber, coatings, and other fields, potassium myristate can be used as a plasticizer and softener to improve the toughness and softness of products.

Potassium myristate has good biodegradability and will not cause serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, potassium myristate is an environmentally friendly surfactant that is widely used in cosmetics, detergents, and other fields.

How Potassium Myristate is produced?  

Potassium hydroxide and myristate reaction: myristate acid and potassium hydroxide in accordance with a certain proportion of the mixture, reaction at a certain temperature for a certain time, after the end of the reaction through cooling, crystallization, filtration, drying, and other steps to obtain potassium myristate products. The advantage of this method is that the process is simple and easy to operate. Still, a certain amount of wastewater and waste gas will be generated during the reaction process, which needs to be treated.

Transesterification method: the myristate and sodium methylate or sodium ethyl alcohol and other alkaline substances are mixed reaction at a certain temperature for a certain time after the end of the reaction through separation, washing, drying, and other steps to obtain potassium myristate products. Still, it requires the use of organic solvents such as methanol or ethanol, which has a certain impact on the environment.

Enzyme catalysis: The use of enzyme catalysis of myristate and potassium hydroxide reaction to obtain potassium myristate. The advantage of this method is high selectivity, but it requires the use of enzyme preparations and has a high cost.

 
Application of Potassium Myristate :  

Food industry: Potassium myristate is mainly used as a food additive, emulsifier, and stabilizer in the food industry. It has a strong surface activity, can reduce the surface tension of water, form a stable emulsion, and improve the taste and stability of food. In addition, potassium myristate also has antioxidant and antiseptic effects, which can prevent food oxidation. Therefore, potassium myristate is widely used in the production of cakes, biscuits, drinks, condiments, and other foods.

Pharmaceutical industry: Potassium myristate has a variety of uses in the pharmaceutical industry. It can be used as a carrier and lubricant for drugs, increase the stability and solubility of drugs, and improve the efficacy and bioavailability of drugs. In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as a medicinal excipient and has certain pharmacological effects. For example, when making drug capsules, tablets, suppositories, and other drugs, adding potassium myristate can play a role in lubrication and slow release, improving the efficacy and stability of drugs.

Cosmetics Industry: Potassium myristate is widely used as an emulsifier, moisturizer, and antioxidant in the cosmetics industry. In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as a cosmetic raw material, such as the preparation of fat-soluble vitamins. When making cosmetics such as skin care products, shampoos, and body washes, adding potassium myristate can increase the moisturizing degree and moisturizing effect of products and improve the antioxidant capacity of products.

Commodity industry: Potassium myristate is also widely used in the commodity industry. For example, in the production of detergent, laundry detergent, hand sanitizer, and other daily necessities, adding potassium myristate can increase the moisture and moisturizing effect of the product while improving the antioxidant capacity of the product. In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as a softener in leather processing to improve the softness and comfort of leather.

Industrial field: Potassium myristate is also widely used in the industrial field. For example, it can be used as an emulsifier in the petroleum industry to help with oil extraction and processing. In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as a metal cleaning agent, pesticide dispersant, and so on.

Plastics and rubber industry: Potassium myristate is widely used as a plasticizer and softener in the plastics and rubber industry. It can improve the toughness and softness of the product and improve the processing performance and service performance of the product. In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as an antioxidant in plastics and rubber, improving the antioxidant properties of products.

Coating industry: Potassium myristate can be used as an additive in the coating industry. It can improve the fluidity and wettability of the coating and improve the coating performance and drying performance of the coating. In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as an antioxidant in coatings to improve the antioxidant properties of coatings.
