Product Description

Acid oil is an oily material rich in free fatty acids and is produced by acidulation of soap stock comes out during vegetable oil refining process.

Product Application

Acid oil is widely used by soap manufacturers for laundry and toilet soaps. Acid Oil may also be used for making oleo chemicals viz. Fatty Alcohols- Produced by hydrogenation of fatty acids and which may be used in manufacturing the surfactants, Metallic soaps- By treating with metallic hydroxides viz. Calcium Soap For animal feed, Lithium Soap For heavy duty lubricants and Potassium Soap For liquid soaps. Other Metallic Soap For mould release agents and lubricants. The Acid Oil is also used in manufacturing Fatty Acid Esters by esterification of fatty acids for use in cosmetics. Its ethoxylation provides ethoxylated fatty acids which is used as emulsifiers in cosmetics, similarly the Fatty Amines can also be obtained by treating the Acid Oil with amines for use as foam stabilizers and water repellants.
