Description

Fatty Acids, Coco, Heavy Fractions CAS NO 68937-85-9 is a refined mixture of higher molecular weight fatty acids derived from coconut oil. This product is valued for its consistent composition and functional properties, making it a reliable raw material for demanding industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and chemical synthesis sectors seeking high-quality, sustainable fatty acid derivatives.

Application

• Soap and Detergent Manufacturing: Acts as a key surfactant and foam booster in industrial and specialty cleaning products.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emollient, opacifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care formulations.
• Lubricants and Greases: Serves as a component in the synthesis of metallic soaps, which are crucial thickeners and stabilizers in lubricating greases.
• Chemical Intermediate: A vital feedstock for producing fatty acid esters, amides, and other derivatives used in plasticizers, emulsifiers, and textile auxiliaries.
• Rubber and Polymer Industry: Functions as an internal and external lubricant and release agent during polymer processing.
• Candle and Wax Blends: Contributes to hardness, burn characteristics, and texture in specialty candle formulations.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Coco, Heavy Fractions are produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications for consistency and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing acid value, saponification value, iodine value, color, and fatty acid composition is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

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