Description

Fatty Acids, Soya CAS NO 68308-53-2 is a complex mixture of fatty acids derived from soybean oil, primarily consisting of linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. This versatile raw material is valued for its renewable origin and functional properties in a wide range of industrial formulations. It serves as a critical intermediate and additive for manufacturers in the chemical, personal care, and food industries seeking natural, plant-based components.

Application

• Soaps & Detergents: Acts as a key raw material in the saponification process for producing high-quality soaps and surfactants.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in the formulation of creams, lotions, and emollients for its conditioning and moisturizing properties.
• Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a bio-based feedstock for manufacturing esters used in synthetic lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Plasticizers & Polymers: Functions as a monomer or modifier in the production of polyamides, alkyd resins, and other polymers.
• Food Industry: Employed as a release agent, emulsifier, or as a component in food-grade lubricants and coatings.
• Chemical Intermediates: A crucial starting material for the synthesis of fatty acid derivatives like amides, esters, and alcohols.
