Zinc Ricinoleate
Zinc Ricinoleate is the zinc salt of ricinoleic acid, derived from castor oil, functioning as a highly effective odor absorber rather than a fragrance masker. It is widely utilized in personal care formulations to permanently trap unpleasant odors caused by amines, mercaptans, and sulfur-containing compounds.
This compound operates by chemically binding nucleophilic odor molecules, preventing them from being released back into the atmosphere, making it ideal for long-lasting deodorants. It is compatible with most surfactant systems and is available in granules or pellets for easy incorporation into liquids and solids.
Beyond cosmetics, it serves as a critical additive in industrial cleaning products, ensuring effective odor neutralization in textiles, surfaces, and waste treatment applications. Manufacturers value its biodegradability and non-interfering nature with the skin’s natural flora.
Zinc Ricinoleate
- Deodorant Formulations: Acts as the primary active ingredient in stick, roll-on, and cream deodorants to neutralize body odor without inhibiting natural transpiration.
- Industrial Detergents: Incorporated into laundry detergents and hard surface cleaners to remove stubborn smells like smoke, sweat, and pet odors from textiles and floors.
- Pet Care Products: Used in animal shampoos and stain removers to chemically bind and eliminate strong biological odors.
- Air Fresheners: Deployed in solid and gel air fresheners to absorb household malodors rather than simply covering them with perfume.
- Waste Treatment: Applied in specialized treatments for landfills and sewage plants to control hydrogen sulfide and amine emissions.
Zinc Ricinoleate is generally considered safe for industrial handling but is classified as an Environmentally Hazardous Substance (toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects). Personnel should wear safety goggles and protective gloves to prevent potential eye irritation. Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhaling dust during processing.
