It is produced through the hydrolysis of fats, followed by purification processes to achieve high glycerol content—typically 99.5% or 99.7%. This versatile product is non-toxic, water-soluble, and hygroscopic, making it essential across various industries.

Applications:

Pharmaceuticals :

as a solvent, sweetener, and humectant in syrups, ointments, and capsules.

Cosmetics & Personal Care :

used in lotions, creams, soaps, and toothpaste for its moisturizing properties

Food & Beverage :

as a humectant, preservative, and sweetening agent (food-grade compliant).

Tobacco Industry :

as a humectant in cigarette and e-cigarette products.

Industrial Applications :

in antifreeze, resins, lubricants, and plasticizers.

Fractionated Fatty Acids

Fractionated fatty acids are typically obtained from natural palm /palm kernel oils and fats and are derived through the process of fractional distillation, where a mixed fatty acid stream is separated based on the differing boiling points of its individual components. This method allows for the isolation of specific fatty acid chain lengths, such as short-, medium-, or long-chain fatty acids for specialized industrial or consumer applications.

Applications:

Caproic Acid (KORTACID 0699), Caprylic Acid (KORTACID 0899), Capric Acid (KORTACID 1099) :

Medium-chain fatty acids ideal for MCT production.

Lauric Acid (KORTACID 1299) :

Widely used in soaps and detergents.

Myristic, Palmitic, and Stearic Acids (KORTACID C14–C18) :

Used in candles, cosmetics, and lubricants.
