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.
