palm oil

  Palm oil can also be applied directly to produce expoxidised palm oil (EPO). Its Main application is as a stabilizer/plasticizer for rubber and poly vinyl chloride (PVC). Another application of EPO is as an epoxy-resin for surface coating.

  Palm oil is the major sources of natural glycerine. It is a by-product of fat splitting and it finds wide applications in pharmaceuticals, toiletries, industrial explosives, and as alkyd resins in the paint industry.  

  Fatty acids are also widely used in the production of food emulsifiers.  

  Fatty acids are the most important oleochemicals. Distilled fatty acids produce good quality soaps and candles. Incorporation of palm based fatty acids in candle formulation improves the shrinkage property of the product. Stearic acid is an essential ingredient in the vulcanisation of natural rubber and it imparts plasticity to the finished products.  

 Palm oil and palm oil products can be used as feedstocks in the oleochemical industry namely fatty acids, fatty esters, glycerine, fatty amines and fatty alcohols.
