Application: Oleic acid is an indispensable nutrient in animal food. Its lead, manganese and cobalt salts are paint driers; copper salts are preservatives for fishing nets; aluminum salts can be used as fabric water repellents and thickeners for some lubricating oils. Oleic acid is epoxidized to produce epoxidized oleate (plasticizer). Oxidative cracking to produce azelaic acid (raw material of polyamide resin).
The wool textile industry is used to prepare antistatic agents and lubricating softeners. The wood industry is used to prepare water repellent paraffin emulsions. Azelaic acid is prepared by oxidation. It can also be used as pesticide emulsifier, lubricant, printing and dyeing auxiliaries, industrial solvent, metal mineral flotation agent, mold release agent, oil hydrolysis agent, and used in the preparation of carbon paper, typing paper, ballpoint pen oil and Various oleates, etc. As a chemical reagent, used as a chromatographic comparison sample and for biochemical research, it is used to verify calcium, ammonia, copper, and determine magnesium, sulfur, etc. Activates protein kinases in hepatocytes.
A 75% alcohol solution of oleic acid can be used as a rust remover.
Properties
Summary
Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid with a carbon carbon double bond in its molecular structure. It is a fatty acid that constitutes olein. One of the most extensive natural unsaturated fatty acids, which has a certain effect on softening blood vessels and plays an important role in the metabolism of human and animals. However, the oleic acid synthesized by human body can not meet the needs and should be taken from food. Therefore, eating edible oil with high oleic acid content is beneficial to health. Oleic acid can also be used to make soap, lubricant, flotation agent, ointment and oleate. It is also a good solvent for fatty acids and oil soluble substances.
