Description

Fats And Glyceridic Oils, Pongamia Glabra is a natural, plant-derived lipid extract obtained from the seeds of the *Pongamia glabra* (also known as *Millettia pinnata*) tree. This product matters as a versatile, renewable feedstock for industrial applications, offering a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based raw materials. It is needed by manufacturers in the biofuel, lubricant, cosmetic, and agrochemical industries seeking high-performance, eco-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Biofuel Production: As a key feedstock for the transesterification process to produce biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters).
• Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a base stock or additive in formulating biodegradable industrial and automotive lubricants.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in soaps, creams, and lotions for its emollient properties and skin-conditioning benefits.
• Agrochemicals: Acts as a carrier or co-formulant in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Polymer & Resin Manufacturing: Utilized as a plasticizer or renewable monomer in the production of bio-based polymers, coatings, and adhesives.
• Surfactants & Detergents: A raw material for the synthesis of oleochemicals like fatty alcohols and non-ionic surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Fats And Glyceridic Oils, Pongamia Glabra is produced and tested to ensure consistent quality suitable for industrial applications. While specific grades (e.g., Technical, Refined) are available, all batches undergo analysis for key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, iodine value, and moisture content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket) to maintain stability and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizers, heat, and ignition sources.
