Palmitic Acid C16-85 - Vegetable-Origin Palm-Based Fatty Acid

Palmitic Acid C16-85 is a palm-derived saturated fatty-acid grade containing at least 85% palmitic acid. The principal component, Palmitic Acid or Hexadecanoic Acid, contains sixteen carbon atoms and has the molecular formula C₁₆H₃₂O₂.

Commercial Palmitic Acid C16-85 can be derived from palm-based feedstocks, particularly palm oil and palm stearin. Fatty-acid processing and fractionation concentrate the C16 fraction while maintaining defined limits on neighboring fatty acids such as C14, C18:0 and C18:1.

Palmitic 85% C16:0 fatty acid for animal nutrition, personal care, surfactants and industrial applications.

Palmitic Acid has established cosmetic functions as an emollient and surfactant-emulsifying ingredient and also serves as a feedstock for soaps, surfactants, esters and specialty oleochemical derivatives. This makes C16 fatty acids valuable across personal care, home care and industrial chemical manufacturing.

High-palmitic fatty-acid grades are also used in dairy and ruminant nutrition when supplied as appropriate feed-grade products. Beyond nutrition, Palmitic Acid C16-85 can support ester manufacturing, coatings, adhesives, lubricants and downstream fatty-alcohol and fatty-amine production.
