PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

Lauric Acid is a saturated C12 fatty acid widely used as an oleochemical intermediate and formulation raw material for soaps, detergents, surfactants, personal-care products, and selected industrial applications. The grade is characterized by controlled acid and saponification values, low iodine content, limited moisture, and defined colour specifications. Its high C12 fatty-acid content makes it suitable for applications where consistent composition and processing performance are required. Lauric Acid is commonly supplied as a white solid material and can serve as a starting material for the manufacture of cleaning products, surfactant systems, and other oleochemical derivatives.
