Description

Beef Tallow is a rendered form of beef fat, a natural and versatile lipid material with the CAS registry number 61789-97-7. It serves as a crucial raw material and functional ingredient across numerous industries due to its unique fatty acid profile and physical properties. Key industrial users include manufacturers in the food, personal care, chemical synthesis, and oleochemical sectors.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a cooking fat, shortening agent, and flavor carrier in baked goods, confectionery, and traditional food preparations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emollient and thickening agent in the formulation of soaps, creams, lotions, and lip balms.
• Oleochemical Feedstock: A primary raw material for the production of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerin, and biodiesel through processes like hydrolysis and transesterification.
• Animal Feed: Incorporated as a high-energy fat supplement in livestock and poultry feed formulations.
• Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a base or additive in the manufacture of biodegradable lubricants, metalworking fluids, and specialty greases.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring to soften and waterproof leather.
• Candle Making: A traditional and renewable base material for producing tallow candles.
• Technical Applications: Employed as a mold release agent, a component in rust preventatives, and in other industrial formulations.

Quality Control

Our Beef Tallow is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for industrial applications. We offer various grades, including technical and food-grade specifications, with quality parameters such as acid value, peroxide value, iodine value, moisture, and unsaponifiable matter routinely monitored. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each batch to confirm compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its nature as an easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) material, prolonged exposure to air and high temperatures should be avoided to maintain quality and shelf life. For long-term storage, a temperature below 25°C (77°F) is recommended.
