What is Rhamnolipid, and how is it identified?

Rhamnolipid is a glycolipid biosurfactant, generally supplied as a mixed mono- and di-rhamnolipid system identified by CAS 869062-42-0. It is supplied as a liquid or powder depending on active content and purification level. Confirm the CAS number, rhamnolipid content, appearance, pH, and offered grade before ordering.

Where is Rhamnolipid mainly used?

It is mainly used as a biodegradable biosurfactant for wetting, surface-tension reduction, emulsification, and dispersion in industrial cleaning, environmental, agricultural, and formulation applications. It is a raw material for formulated products, not a finished consumer product. Confirm compatibility, dosage, pH, and the target application.

Which specifications should be checked before ordering?

Confirm appearance and supplied form, active content or rhamnolipid concentration, pH, surface tension or CMC if available, moisture, color, and any residual fermentation or solvent data. Also confirm the offered grade, purity basis, and the application-specific performance requirements for your formulation.

How should Rhamnolipid be stored and handled?

Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers, away from extreme temperature and strong oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE and prevent spills or contamination. Confirm the offered package, net weight or volume, lot traceability, storage temperature, and transport requirements before dispatch.

Rhamnolipid CAS 869062-42-0

Rhamnolipid is a glycolipid biosurfactant typically supplied for industrial formulation use where surface activity, wetting, emulsification, and detergency are required. It is more appropriately treated as a specialty biosurfactant material than as a single pure chemical, because commercial products may contain different mono- and di-rhamnolipid components depending on the production route and supply specification. Typical downstream directions include industrial cleaners, environmental treatment formulations, agricultural adjuvant systems, and selected emulsifying or wetting applications where formulation compatibility should be evaluated in advance. Supply can be arranged according to concentration and form, with routine support for standard packaging and product documents such as COA, TDS, and SDS.

CAS: 869062-42-0
Synonyms: Rhamnolipids; Glycolipid biosurfactant
Grade: Supply specification basis / industrial formulation grade depending on active content and application direction.
Package: Available in standard export packaging. Packaging can be arranged according to supply form, active content, and order volume.

Physicochemical Properties

Item	Typical Description
Product Nature	Glycolipid biosurfactant; commercial material is commonly supplied as a mixed rhamnolipid system rather than a single pure substance.
Composition Profile	Typically contains mono-rhamnolipid and/or di-rhamnolipid components, with composition depending on production route and specification.
Appearance	Usually supplied as liquid or powder depending on concentration and commercial grade.
Color	Commonly pale yellow to yellowish-brown, depending on supply form and purification level.
Solubility / Dispersibility	Water-dispersible to water-soluble under suitable conditions; aqueous behavior depends on pH and formulation system.
Surface Activity	Provides surface tension reduction, wetting, and emulsification performance typical of biosurfactant systems.
Molecular Formula	Not expressed here as one fixed formula for general commercial material.
Melting / Boiling Point	Not stated as a single fixed value for general supply-page use because these depend on composition and supply form.
Density	Specification-dependent for liquid grades; not listed here as a universal fixed value.
Flash Point	Should be confirmed against the specific supplied grade and SDS.

Typical Applications

Industrial cleaning and detergent formulations where wetting, detergency, and emulsification are required.
Environmental and remediation-related formulations designed for hydrocarbon mobilization or surface activity support.
Agricultural formulation systems as a biosurfactant-type wetting or dispersing component, subject to local application and regulatory review.
Process formulations requiring a bio-based surfactant for emulsifying, dispersing, or interfacial performance adjustment.

Packaging

Rhamnolipid can be supplied in sealed containers suitable for its commercial form, including liquid or powder presentation. Export packaging can be arranged according to active content, supply specification, and order quantity. Clean container handling, sealed packing, and protection from contamination are recommended during storage and transport. Detailed packing arrangements can be confirmed against the requested grade and shipment volume.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place in tightly closed original packaging. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and contamination during handling. Package integrity should be maintained throughout storage and transportation. For long-term storage or sensitive formulations, the specific storage recommendation for the supplied grade should follow the applicable SDS and product specification.
