Distilled Coco Oil Acid

Distilled Coco Oil Acid (CAS 67701-05-7) is a refined mixture of C8–C18 fatty acids derived from coconut oil through distillation. It functions as a surface-active raw material used across personal care, cleaning, coatings, and lubricant formulations.

This versatile chemical enables essential processes such as emulsification, wetting, and lubrication in various industrial settings. In personal care, it acts as a precursor for soap bases, emulsifiers, and surfactant esters used in skin cleansers.

It is also a key component in shampoos and conditioning products. Coatings and adhesive formulators use it as a reactive intermediate or surface modifier to improve substrate adhesion and the dispersion of pigments and fillers.

In industrial and household cleaning products, it is saponified or neutralized to produce fatty acid salts. These salts deliver necessary detergency and foam control for high-performance cleaning solutions across multiple sectors.

Metalworking and lubricant applications rely on it as a base component for cutting fluids. It is also utilized in corrosion-inhibiting formulations where controlled lubricity is required for mechanical efficiency and protection.

Distilled Coco Oil Acid is supplied as a liquid or low-melting solid, depending on temperature and fatty acid profile. It is available in technical and industrial grades, with quality typically characterized by acid value and color.

The material is also evaluated based on iodine value and specific color specifications to ensure consistency. Bulk liquid supply and intermediate packaging formats are standard for industrial procurement and large-scale manufacturing.
