Description

Coconut Oil Fatty Acids CAS NO 67701-05-7 are a versatile and commercially significant mixture of fatty acids derived from the hydrolysis of coconut oil. This product is valued for its excellent lathering properties, emollient characteristics, and its role as a key raw material in the synthesis of derivatives. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, soap, detergent, and chemical intermediate industries seeking high-quality, naturally-derived ingredients.

Application

• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: A primary feedstock for producing high-quality toilet soaps, laundry bars, and liquid detergents due to its excellent cleansing and foaming properties.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in the formulation of shampoos, shower gels, shaving creams, and lotions as a surfactant base and emollient.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial raw material for the production of fatty acid esters, alkanolamides, and other amphoteric surfactants.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent, lubricant, and finishing agent in textile and leather auxiliaries.
• Rubber & Plastics Industry: Functions as an internal and external lubricant and release agent in polymer processing.

Quality Control

Our Coconut Oil Fatty Acids are produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. We provide comprehensive specifications and Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, iodine value, and fatty acid composition. Our quality commitment supports compliance with relevant standards for industrial and personal care applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket) for long-term storage to maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
