Zinc Ricinoleate

Product Overview

Supplied by Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd., our Zinc Ricinoleate is a highly concentrated, eco-friendly active base derived from natural plant resources. Unlike traditional masking fragrances or physical absorbers that release odors when heated, this product utilizes advanced chemical chelation to capture and permanently neutralize odor molecules. It features a rare amphiphilic structure, combining a hydrophobic fatty chain with a hydrophilic polar functional group, making it ideal for diverse B2B formulations.

Mechanism Of Action

The central zinc ion possesses strong electrophilicity, forming highly stable, irreversible coordinate bonds with atoms containing lone-pair electrons, such as Nitrogen and Sulfur. This chemical interaction ensures exceptional efficacy against a broad spectrum of malodorous compounds:

• Sulfur-Based Compounds: Effectively neutralizes hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan.
• Nitrogen-Based Compounds: Targets ammonia, trimethylamine, and protein decay amines.
• Short-Chain Fatty Acids: Neutralizes isovaleric acid, the primary component of sweat odor.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Assists in the removal of formaldehyde and benzene derivatives.

Technical Specifications

Application Areas

Our 100% active concentrate is designed for B2B manufacturers and can be emulsified into highly stable water-soluble solutions. Key industries include:

• Textile And Apparel: Ideal for undergarments, activewear, and shoe linings. The neutral pH ensures safety for direct skin contact and compatibility with non-ionic or cationic finishing baths.
• Pet Care: A premium additive for cat litter, pet shampoos, and environmental deodorizing sprays, tackling high-ammonia environments effectively.
• Industrial And Public Hygiene: Provides cost-effective odor control for sewage treatment, landfills, and public restrooms.
• Household And Automotive: Enhances formulations for fabric refreshers, surface cleaners, and new car interior VOC treatments.
