Lauric Acid
Lauric acid, systematically dodecanoic acid, is the twelve-carbon saturated fatty acid with CAS number 143-07-7. It is the principal acid of coconut and palm kernel oil and the chain length on which most foaming surfactant chemistry is built.
Myristic Acid
Myristic acid, systematically tetradecanoic acid, is the fourteen-carbon saturated fatty acid with CAS number 544-63-8. Obtained from coconut, palm kernel and nutmeg oils, it produces a dense, stable, creamy lather in soaps and cleansers.
Palmitic Acid
Palmitic acid, systematically hexadecanoic acid, is the sixteen-carbon saturated fatty acid with CAS number 57-10-3. Named after palm oil, in which it is the dominant acid, it melts at about 63 degrees Celsius and gives soap and cosmetics their firmness.
Oleic Acid
Oleic acid (CAS 112-80-1) is the eighteen-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid, liquid at room temperature because of the single cis double bond that kinks its chain. Commercial grades are traded by iodine value, titre and colour.
Caprylic Acid
Caprylic acid, systematically octanoic acid, is an eight-carbon saturated fatty acid with CAS number 124-07-2. Recovered from coconut and palm kernel oil, it melts near 17 degrees Celsius and is a primary feedstock for MCT oil and ester synthesis.
Capric Acid
Capric acid, systematically decanoic acid, is a ten-carbon saturated fatty acid with CAS number 334-48-5. Recovered by fractionating coconut or palm kernel oil, it melts at about 31 degrees Celsius and is a building block for esters and MCT oils.
Caproic Acid
Caproic acid, systematically hexanoic acid, is a six-carbon saturated fatty acid with CAS number 142-62-1. It is an oily liquid at room temperature with a powerful cheese-like odour, and is used mainly to make flavour and fragrance esters.
PFAD (Palm Fatty Acid Distillate)
PFAD is the condensate recovered from the deodoriser during palm oil refining. Typically 85 to 95 percent free fatty acids, it is a low-cost mixed feedstock for soap, fatty acid recovery, animal feed and biodiesel esterification.
Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate (PKFAD)
PKFAD is the deodoriser distillate from palm kernel oil refining. It carries the lauric and myristic chains of the parent oil at high free fatty acid content, which makes it a cheap short-chain feedstock for soap and surfactant intermediates.
Palm Stearic Acid
Palm stearic acid is not pure stearic acid but a graded blend of palmitic and stearic chains, sold by titre. Common grades are 40:60, 50:50 and triple-pressed, and the titre determines hardness, melting point and downstream behaviour.
Rapeseed Acid Oil
Rapeseed acid oil is produced by acidulating the soapstock left over from rapeseed oil refining. It is a variable, low-cost mixed fatty acid feedstock with a high oleic content, used in industrial soap, esterification and feed energy.
Soapstock Acid Oil
Soapstock acid oil is the mixed fatty acid stream recovered by acidulating refinery soapstock. Composition varies with whatever oils the refinery was processing, which makes it the cheapest fatty acid feedstock and the least consistent.
Soybean Acid Oil
Soybean acid oil is recovered by acidulating the soapstock from soybean oil refining. Its high linoleic content gives it the most reactive unsaturation of the common acid oils, which suits epoxidation and alkyd resin routes.
Sunflower Acid Oil
Sunflower acid oil is the mixed fatty acid stream recovered by acidulating sunflower refinery soapstock. It is high in linoleic acid, pale by the standards of acid oils, and used in industrial soap, esterification and feed.

Confirm the evidence before ordering
Grade, origin and certification are confirmed for each proposed source. A vegetable-derived feedstock is not automatically certified sustainable, pharmaceutical grade or suitable for every application; request the evidence needed for your intended use.
Product illustrations show representative material and packaging. The quotation confirms the actual source, grade, pack size and labelling.
