Fatty Acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic, lauric, myristic)
Split fats, the workhorse building block
Oleochemicals & industrial derivatives
Product Overview
Fatty acids are produced by hydrolytic splitting (and often fractional distillation) of palm and palm kernel oils, yielding single-cut or blended acids such as palmitic (C16), stearic (C18), oleic (C18:1), lauric (C12) and myristic (C14). They are the primary intermediates from which most other oleochemicals are made.
Applications & Uses
Soaps and detergents, candles, rubber and plastics processing, lubricant esters, cosmetics, feedstock for fatty alcohols and esters.
