FATTY ACIDS

Fatty acids derived from vegetable oils are valuable precursors for a wide range of products and they are one of the important starting intermediates for oleochemicals.

Fatty acids are usually a mixture of different individual fatty acids such as oleic, stearic, linoleic, etc. Their composition is determined by the vegetable oil from which they are obtained, and the quality is determined by the method of oil processing as well as the stages of purification of fatty acids from undesirable components.

The main application of fatty acids is the production of surfactants, varnishes, paints, soaps, emulsifiers, lubricants, coolants, biodiesel, specialty chemicals for the oil and gas industry, cosmetic and personal care components, polymer additives.

SUNFLOWER FATTY ACIDS CRUDE

Sunflower Fatty Acids Crude is a dark-red colored product obtained by processing of residual hydrated sunflower oil material. The quality may vary in a wide range therefore for some applications additional processing like bleaching or distillation is required. The main use of crude fatty acids is biodiesel production.

SUNFLOWER FATTY ACIDS

Sunflower Fatty Acids is a brownish-yellow and viscous liquid, having a slight characteristic vegetable oil odor. It is obtained by the saponification of non-edible sunflower oil.

Sunflower Fatty Acids is an analog of Tall Oil Fatty Acids (TOFA) with similar characteristics and fatty acid composition.

Parameter	Typical Value
Acid value	190-200
Saponification value	192-202
Iodine value	110-150
Pour point	+5 °C
Flash point, closed cup	200 °C
Density at 20 °C	920 kg/m3

SUNFLOWER FATTY ACIDS PURIFIED

Sunflower Fatty Acids Purified is obtained by purification of sunflower fatty acids of lower quality to remove dark-colored components, water and other impurities. The main applications are producing surfactants, chemicals, biolubricants, additives to polymers and coatings.

SUNFLOWER FATTY ACIDS REFINED

Sunflower Fatty Acids Refined are high-quality fatty acids produced by the vacuum distillation of purified fatty acids. Refining allows getting pale-yellow or colorless liquid having no impurities. Fatty acids are applied to manufacture fatty alcohols, amines, surfactants, lubricants, emulsifiers.

SOYBEAN FATTY ACIDS

Soybean Fatty Acids is a product obtained from the splitting of soybean oil and subsequent purification. It’s a yellow-colored liquid rich in linoleic acid (about 50%). The main applications are producing a range of chemicals, surfactants, lubricants, additives to polymers and coatings.

RAPESEED FATTY ACIDS

Rapeseed Fatty Acids is a product obtained from the splitting of rapeseed oil and subsequent purification. It’s a yellow-colored liquid rich in oleic acid (about 60%). Rapeseed fatty acids are used for producing a range of chemicals, surfactants, lubricants, additives to polymers and coatings.

LINSEED FATTY ACIDS

Linseed Fatty Acids is a yellow-colored liquid obtained from the splitting of linseed oil and subsequent purification. Rich in linolenic acid (about 50%) linseed fatty acids are successfully applied as a component of coatings. Among other applications are producing of specialty chemicals, surfactants, lubricants, additives to polymers.

OLEIC ACID 75

Oleic Acid 75 is obtained by splitting high-oleic sunflower oil. It’s a yellow liquid with a content of oleic acid of at least 75%. Oleic acid is a well-known and widespread fatty acid, so it has lots of applications in the chemical industry. Among them are producing of paints, resins, surfactants, emulsifiers, esters, amines, fatty alcohols, lubricants, polymers, coatings, specialty additives.

It may be delivered in drums, IBCs or in bulk. Preferably bulk liquid in tank trucks, rail tanks, ISO containers or flexitanks.
