Description

Lard, Hydrogenated is a modified animal fat produced through the catalytic hydrogenation of lard, resulting in a more stable, higher melting point fat with improved oxidative stability. This process is critical for enhancing the functional properties of the base material, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications where consistency and shelf-life are paramount. It serves as a key ingredient and processing aid for manufacturers in the food, personal care, and chemical synthesis sectors seeking a reliable, semi-solid lipid source.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a structuring fat, shortening agent, and texturizer in baked goods, confectionery, and frying applications to improve mouthfeel and stability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emollient and occlusive agent in the formulation of soaps, creams, lotions, and lip balms, providing moisturizing properties and a rich consistency.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a base for ointments, suppositories, and topical formulations, offering excellent spreadability and skin adhesion.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Employed in mold release formulations, wire drawing, and as a component in biodegradable lubricants.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the production of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and other oleochemical derivatives through saponification or transesterification reactions.
• Candle & Wax Blending: Provides hardness and a consistent burn profile when blended with other waxes for candle manufacturing.
