Description

Fatty Acids, Coco, Hydrogenated is a refined mixture of saturated fatty acids derived from coconut oil through a hydrogenation process. This modification enhances its oxidative stability and melting profile, making it a valuable, consistent raw material for demanding industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking a stable, high-quality fatty acid source. The product is supplied under strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch reliability for your production processes.

Application

• Soap & Detergent Base: Serves as a primary raw material for manufacturing high-quality, hard bar soaps and industrial cleansers.
• Cosmetic Emollients & Thickeners: Used in creams, lotions, and sticks to provide texture, stability, and a smooth skin feel.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Acts as a component in synthetic lubricants and metalworking fluids due to its lubricity and stability.
• Plastic & Rubber Additives: Functions as an internal lubricant, release agent, or stabilizer in polymer processing.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed in the production of softeners, spin finishes, and other textile processing agents.
• Candle Manufacturing: Provides hardness and a consistent burn profile in candle formulations.
• Food-Grade Additives (where specified): Used in food contact applications, release agents, and as a component in food packaging when produced to appropriate standards.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Coco, Hydrogenated is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested against key parameters including acid value, saponification value, iodine value, and color to ensure it meets precise specifications for consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment. We can supply grades suitable for various applications, including those aligned with ISO and GMP guidelines where required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality.
