Potassium laurate is a colorless, granular carboxylate soap of lauric acid and potassium with known cleansing, dispersant, surfactant, and emulsifying properties. Lauric acid is 12-carbon carboxylate categorized as a medium chain fatty acid which is commonly isolated from coconut, babassu, palm kernel, olive, castor, or cottonseed oil. The excellent emulsifying efficiency of potassium laurate makes a sought-after ingredient in several everyday uses such as:

· A dust suppression agent

· Preservative

· A binder

· An anticaking agent

· A foaming agent

· Corrosion inhibitor

· Deinking agent
