Description

Oils, Palm, Hydrogenated is a fully saturated, high-stability vegetable oil derivative produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of palm oil. This process significantly enhances its oxidative stability, making it a crucial ingredient for applications requiring resistance to rancidity and extended shelf life. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the food, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors for its solid fat functionality and consistent performance.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a structuring fat and stabilizer in margarines, shortenings, confectionery coatings, and non-dairy creamers.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Serves as an occlusive emollient and viscosity builder in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and soap bars.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an excipient in ointments, creams, and suppository bases for its inert and stable properties.
• Industrial Lubricants: Acts as a base or additive in biodegradable greases and metalworking fluids.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the production of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and surfactants.
• Candle Making: Provides a hard, consistent burn profile as a component of candle wax blends.

Quality Control

Our Hydrogenated Palm Oil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards appropriate for its target applications, including food and cosmetic grades. Quality assurance protocols include testing for key parameters such as melting point, iodine value, free fatty acid content, and peroxide value. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to ensure compliance with your specific requirements and relevant standards like FCC or USP/NF where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This product is easily oxidized; for long-term storage or after opening, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
