Rapeseed fatty acids

Rapeseed fatty acids (CAS 85711-54-2), also called rape-oil fatty acids, are a mixture of free fatty acids derived from refined rapeseed oil, predominantly oleic and linoleic acid fractions.

Where is Rapeseed fatty acids used?

• Coatings and alkyd resins: reactive building blocks influencing drying performance and film flexibility
• Lubricants and metalworking fluids: boundary lubrication properties reducing friction and wear
• Rubber and tire compounding: softeners and processing aids improving filler dispersion and compound flow
• Textile and leather processing: fiber lubricants and surface conditioning agents modifying wettability and reducing inter-fiber friction
• In cutting and forming operations they protect machinery.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk, IBC or drum formats
• Refined and distilled grades for tighter fatty acid profiles
