Palm Kernel Fatty Acid

Palm Kernel Fatty Acid (CAS 101403-98-9), also known as palm kernel acid, is a mixed fatty acid blend derived from palm kernel oil through hydrolysis. It delivers a lauric-acid-dominant fatty acid profile that drives performance.

This profile drives emulsification, saponification, and surface-active performance across multiple industrial sectors. In soap and detergent manufacturing, it is a primary raw material for producing hard bar soaps and laundry products.

Its high lauric content generates dense, stable lather in various cleaning applications. Personal care formulators use it as a precursor for surfactants, emulsifiers, and conditioning agents in shampoos, body washes, and skin creams.

Industrial cleaning product manufacturers rely on it to produce fatty acid soaps and alkanolamides. These components perform reliably across a wide range of pH and temperature conditions in heavy-duty industrial settings.

In the food industry, it serves as a feedstock for producing food-grade emulsifiers and surface-active agents. These are used extensively in bakery and confectionery processing to improve texture and shelf stability.

Palm Kernel Fatty Acid is supplied as a liquid or semi-solid depending on ambient temperature. It is available in bulk quantities including ISO tank, drum, and flexi-bag formats to suit global logistics needs.

Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications available. These meet specific regulatory requirements for safety and purity in sensitive consumer applications.

Acid value and iodine value are the primary quality parameters used to define grade and batch consistency. Our material meets rigorous industrial benchmarks to ensure reliable performance in every production cycle.
