Coconut Fatty Acid Distillate (CFAD)

Bio-Based Fatty Acid for Soaps & Feed

DESCRIPTION:

Coconut Fatty Acid Distillate (CFAD) is a valuable and sustainable byproduct derived from the physical refining process of crude coconut oil. Rich in medium-chain fatty acids, primarily lauric acid, CFAD serves as a versatile and economical bio-based raw material essential for numerous industrial applications, particularly in the oleochemical, animal nutrition, and personal care sectors.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Rich in Lauric Acid: Contains a high concentration of beneficial medium-chain fatty acids, making it a preferred raw material for various chemical processes.

  • Versatile Industrial Raw Material: Widely utilized in the manufacturing of:

    • Soaps and Detergents (due to its excellent saponification properties)

    • Personal Care and Cosmetics (as emollients, emulsifiers, and surfactants)

    • Animal Feed (as a highly digestible energy source to enhance diets)

    • Biodiesel production (as a renewable feedstock)

    • Various fatty acid derivatives and other oleochemicals.

  • Sustainable & Eco-Friendly: A renewable resource obtained from coconut oil processing, contributing to waste reduction and promoting circular economy principles.

  • High Saponification Value: Indicates its high reactivity with alkalis, which is crucial for efficient soap and detergent production.

  • Cost-Effective Solution: Offers an economical and stable alternative to other fatty acid sources without compromising performance or quality in industrial formulations.

  • Consistent Quality: Processed to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring reliability and suitability for diverse manufacturing needs.
