Description

Cocoanut Oil Fatty Acids CAS NO 8045-96-3 is a natural mixture of fatty acids derived from the hydrolysis of coconut oil. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent lathering properties, stability, and renewable origin. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, and oleochemical industries seeking sustainable and high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: A primary feedstock for producing high-quality soaps, liquid cleansers, and industrial surfactants due to its excellent foaming and cleansing characteristics.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in the formulation of shampoos, shower gels, shaving creams, and other cleansing products where mildness and rich lather are desired.
• Oleochemical Derivatives: Acts as a key starting material for the synthesis of fatty alcohols, methyl esters, amides, and other oleochemical intermediates.
• Lubricants & Greases: Employed in the production of metallic soaps (e.g., aluminum, calcium, lithium soaps) which function as thickeners and stabilizers in lubricating greases.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Utilized as a softening agent, lubricant, and finishing agent in textile and leather treatment processes.
• Food Industry (as indirect additive): Used in the manufacture of food-grade emulsifiers, release agents, and defoamers.
