Oleic acid

Oleic acid (cis - 9 - octadecenic acid) CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH — monounsaturated fatty acid. Is the unsaturated fatty acid, most widespread in the nature.

Oleic acid and its ethers apply to receiving paints and varnishes as plasticizers. It is applied in soap manufacture, and also widely applied (in quality SOZH) when processing by cutting hardly processed high - alloyed (corrosion - proof) staly and alloys. It is applied also to operational development of sealing surfaces from corrosion, stainless steels and hard alloys, I will eat metal up to 22 microns.
