Description

Fatty Acids C14-C18 And C16-C18 Unsaturated is a defined mixture of medium to long-chain saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids, primarily derived from natural fats and oils. This specific blend is valued for its balanced properties, offering a combination of stability from the saturated chains and reactivity from the unsaturated components. It serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive for manufacturers in the chemical, personal care, and industrial sectors seeking consistent raw material performance.

Application

• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: A key raw material for producing high-quality soaps, where it contributes to lather quality, cleansing power, and final bar hardness.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in the formulation of creams, lotions, and emollients, acting as a surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning agent.
• Lubricants & Greases: Functions as a friction modifier and thickening agent in the production of metalworking fluids, synthetic lubricants, and biodegradable greases.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of fatty acid esters, amides, and other derivatives used in plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, and textile auxiliaries.
• Candle & Wax Blends: Imparts desirable burning characteristics and texture modifications in specialty candle and industrial wax formulations.
• Rubber & Polymer Processing: Acts as an internal lubricant and processing aid, improving flow and mold release during the manufacturing of rubber and plastic products.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids C14-C18 And C16-C18 Unsaturated is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, acid value, iodine value, and color stability, meeting the specifications required for industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters 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 away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
