Characteristics of Oxidized Paraffin Soaps

Oxidized paraffin soaps comprise saturated fatly acid, oxyacid (such as alcohol acid and ketonic acid), dicarboxylic acid, unsaponitied oxides, and unoxidized hydrocarbons. Oxidized paraffin soaps that are used as collector are comprised of fatty acids because mostly unsaponified oxides and unoxidized hydrocarbons had been removed from the product. The proportion of saturated fatty acid in oxidized paraffin soaps is about 80 %. And the proportion of oxyacid is about 5-10 %. The proportion of unsaponified oxides is about 2-3 %.
