Natural Origin Coconut Oil Fatty Acids with High Lauric Acid Content for Versatile Applications (CAS 61788-47-4)

Coconut Oil Fatty Acids, identified by CAS number 61788-47-4, are the organic acids obtained from coconut oil. Through a process of splitting triglycerides, the glycerol backbone is removed, yielding a blend of fatty acids that mirror the composition of the source oil. This product is typically a light yellow liquid or soft solid with a characteristic mild odor. Its high content of C12 (Lauric Acid) and C14 (Myristic Acid) makes it exceptionally valuable for reactions where consistent chain length and saturation are required, such as in the production of soaps, detergents (like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate precursors), and emulsifiers.

• Surfactant Feedstock: Primary raw material for producing alkyl polyglucosides, betaines, sarcosinates, and ester quats due to its high lauric acid content, which provides excellent foaming and cleansing.
• Emulsification: Acts as an effective emulsifier and opacifier in cosmetic and industrial formulations.
• Lubricity: Imparts lubricating properties in metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants.
• Hydrophobicity: Provides water-repellent characteristics in coatings and textile treatments.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a key reactant in the synthesis of amines, amides, and esters for various industrial applications.
• Natural & Biodegradable: Derived from renewable vegetable oil, offering a sustainable profile for green chemistry applications.

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, shaving creams, and skincare products (as a soap base or surfactant precursor).
• Detergents & Cleaners: Manufacturing of laundry powders, dishwashing liquids, and household cleaners.
• Industrial Chemicals: Production of lubricants, plasticizers, rubber additives, and corrosion inhibitors.
• Textile Industry: Used in spinning lubricants, softeners, and finishing agents.
• Food Industry: As a release agent, lubricant, or intermediate for food-grade emulsifiers (subject to appropriate purity grades).
• Medicals: Excipient in certain topical formulations and as a process intermediate.

Our Coconut Oil Fatty Acids are produced through a controlled, high-quality process:

1. Raw Material Sourcing: Selection of high-grade, refined coconut oil.
2. Fat Splitting (Hydrolysis): The triglycerides in the oil are hydrolyzed under high temperature and pressure (or with a catalyst) to separate fatty acids from glycerol.
3. Distillation: The crude fatty acid mix is purified via fractional distillation under vacuum to remove impurities, control odor, and achieve a consistent fatty acid profile.
4. Quality Control: The final product is rigorously analyzed against our specifications (Acid Value, Iodine Value, Color, Composition) to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.
5. Packaging: Available in industrial drums (190kg), IBC totes (1000kg), or bulk tanker trucks.

• High Purity & Consistency: Rigorous QC ensures product meets exact specifications for reliable performance in your formulations.
• Global Supply Chain: Reliable logistics for on-time delivery worldwide, supported by strategic stock points.
• Technical Expertise: Our team provides comprehensive technical data sheets (SDS, COA) and application support.
• Competitive Pricing: Cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality, offering excellent value.
• Sustainable Focus: We are committed to responsible sourcing and sustainable production practices.
• Customization: Ability to supply tailored blends or specific cuts (e.g., enriched Lauric Acid fractions) to meet unique requirements.
