Frequently Asked Questions
What is sodium methyl oleoyl taurate?
Sodium methyl oleoyl taurate (CAS 4337-75-1) is an anionic N-acyl methyl taurate surfactant, the oleoyl analog of the taurate family. PubChem classifies it as a cleansing, foaming surfactant for cosmetic formulations and as a wetting agent. RawSource supplies it as a surfactant for personal-care and aqueous systems.
What is sodium methyl oleoyl taurate used for?
It is used as a cleansing and foaming surfactant in cosmetic formulations, as a wetting agent that lowers surface tension in aqueous systems, and as a foaming agent in surfactant blends. The related lauroyl and cocoyl methyl taurates serve similar cleansing roles with different fatty-chain profiles. RawSource supplies it for these applications.
How does the oleoyl taurate differ from sodium methyl cocoyl taurate?
Both are N-acyl methyl taurate surfactants; the difference is the fatty acyl group — oleoyl (a single C18 unsaturated chain) versus cocoyl (a coconut-derived mixed chain). This affects solubility, foam character, and wetting behavior. Confirm identity by CAS (4337-75-1) and select the grade that fits your formulation.
What is the molecular formula and CAS number?
Sodium methyl oleoyl taurate has the formula C15H30NNaO4S and CAS number 4337-75-1. RawSource provides a CoA confirming identity and specifications for each bulk lot.
How is sodium methyl oleoyl taurate supplied in bulk?
It is supplied as a powder/paste or aqueous active solution depending on grade; active content varies, so request a CoA. The HS classification is 3402.39 (anionic organic surface-active agents, other). Contact us for available grades and a bulk quote.
