Description

Fatty Acids, Olive-Oil is a natural mixture of fatty acids derived from olive oil, primarily consisting of oleic acid. This product is valued for its renewable origin and specific fatty acid profile, making it a versatile intermediate for high-value formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking natural and sustainable raw materials.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Key ingredient in soaps, creams, lotions, and hair conditioners for its emollient and conditioning properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used in the formulation of ointments, suppositories, and as an emulsifying agent.
• Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a bio-based component in synthetic lubricants and corrosion inhibitors.
• Soap & Detergent Manufacturing: Acts as a raw material for high-quality, mild soap bars and liquid cleansers.
• Food-Grade Additives: Employed as a release agent, lubricant, or defoamer in food processing equipment (subject to appropriate grade and certification).
• Chemical Synthesis: Used as a renewable feedstock for producing esters, amides, and other oleochemical derivatives.
