Description

Fatty Acids, Corn-Oil CAS NO 68308-50-9 is a natural mixture of fatty acids derived from corn oil, primarily consisting of oleic and linoleic acids. This product is valued for its renewable origin and versatile chemical functionality as a building block for surfactants, lubricants, and polymer additives. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, food, industrial lubricant, and chemical synthesis sectors seeking bio-based alternatives.

Application

• Primary raw material for the production of soaps, metallic stearates, and emulsifiers.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of biodegradable lubricants and greases for industrial applications.
• Essential component in personal care formulations such as creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Used in the manufacture of plasticizers and stabilizers for polymers and resins.
• Base material for producing food-grade emulsifiers and release agents (where specific grade compliance is met).
• Feedstock for biofuel and biodiesel research and production processes.
• Starting material for alkyl resins and coating additives.
