Synthetic oleic acid is an artificially synthesized oxidizing mineral flotation collector. It is a light yellow oily liquid with a mild odor, good water solubility, and is mostly used for the separation of fluorite, barite, and rare earth oxides. It can also be used for mineral desliming and flotation adjustment, suitable for various conventional mining beneficiation conditions, with outstanding cost performance.
Content of saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid) is extremely low
Acid value and iodine value are stable; moisture content is extremely low; peroxide value is low; resistant to oxidation and rancidity
Exhibits good low-temperature fluidity, minimal crystallization, and high transparency.

Safety, Storage, and Transport
A flammable organic liquid; keep away from open flames, high temperatures, and strong oxidizing agents.
Store in a cool, dark, and sealed environment under nitrogen protection to prevent oxidation and discoloration.
Transport as a standard fine chemical product; protect against rain, direct sunlight, and leakage.
Avoid prolonged skin contact; wear protective gloves when handling.
Product advantages
Compared to natural and animal oleic acids, its composition is more stable, and the collecting performance is controllable; it is resistant to hard water and low temperatures, and the efficacy is not easily lost when the water quality and temperature fluctuate; the foam is fine and easy to control, making it convenient for subsequent mineral slurry dewatering; the production batch is stable, the supply is guaranteed, and the comprehensive usage cost is lower.
FAQ
Q1: What's the difference from natural oleic acid?
A: It's synthetic. The composition is more stable, the price is more affordable, and the smell is less intense.
Q2: What are the storage requirements?
A: Store it sealed and protected from light, away from high temperatures, to prevent oxidation and deterioration.
Q3: Which ores are suitable for it?
A: It is mainly used for flotation of various oxidized ores such as fluorite, barite, and rare earths.
