Description

Fatty Acids, Sunflower-Oil is a complex mixture of fatty acids derived from the hydrolysis and refining of sunflower oil. This natural product is valued for its renewable origin and specific fatty acid profile, which includes a high proportion of unsaturated oleic and linoleic acids. It serves as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, lubricants, and chemical synthesis industries.

Application

• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: Used as a raw material in the saponification process to produce high-quality, biodegradable soaps and surfactants.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emollient, emulsifier, and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Lubricants & Greases: Employed in the formulation of bio-based lubricants, metalworking fluids, and industrial greases.
• Chemical Intermediates: Serves as a feedstock for producing fatty acid esters, amides, and other derivatives used in various industrial applications.
• Polymer & Resin Industry: Utilized in alkyd resins and polyols for coatings, adhesives, and sealants.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatment and leather finishing.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Sunflower-Oil is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent composition, acid value, iodine value, and color. While specific grades are available, our standard production adheres to relevant industry guidelines for natural fatty acids. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters are provided with every shipment.

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, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket) is recommended to preserve quality and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
