Description

Fatty Acids, Palm-Oil is a complex mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids derived from palm oil, primarily consisting of palmitic and oleic acids. This versatile raw material is valued for its consistent composition and renewable origin, making it a crucial intermediate for a wide range of industrial synthesis and formulation processes. It is essential for manufacturers in the soap & detergent, personal care, food additive, and oleochemical industries seeking reliable, high-volume feedstock.

Application

• Primary raw material for the production of soaps, metallic stearates, and esters.
• Key ingredient in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products such as creams, lotions, and emulsifiers.
• Used as a lubricant and release agent in the plastics and rubber processing industries.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of amides, amines, and other nitrogen derivatives for various industrial applications.
• Component in the manufacture of food-grade additives (e.g., emulsifiers, stabilizers) where specified grades are available.
• Feedstock for biodiesel production and other bio-based fuel and chemical applications.
• Used in the production of candles, coatings, and polishes.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Palm-Oil is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Key parameters such as acid value, saponification value, iodine value, and fatty acid composition are strictly monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, and we can support compliance with relevant standards such as USP-NF, FCC, or specific customer requirements upon request.

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. For long-term storage, maintaining the product under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket) is recommended to prevent oxidation and maintain color stability. Typical recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F).
