Distilled Palm Kernel Fatty Acid
DISTILLED PALM KERNEL FATTY ACID is derived from both Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil and are produced from the splitting of fats at high temperature and pressure. Intermediate chemicals such as fatty alcohols, fatty amines and fatty esters can also be manufactured from fatty acids.
Palm Kernel Fatty Acid is used in soaps, bath products, and household and industrial cleaning products as a surfactant, cleansing agent, emulsifier and a foam booster. Its high Lauric content makes an excellent lathering and conditioning bath soap. Palm Kernel Fatty Acid and its esters are also used in the manufacture of intermediates for the textile industry, lubricants and metal working fluids.
