Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate - PKFAD is the by-product of the refining of Palm Kernel Oil. It is used in the manufacture of laundry soap, methyl ester, biodiesel, fatty alcohol, and anti-caking agents. It is also an ingredient for animal feeds and in the soap industry as a raw material for shampoos and detergents.
Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate is widely used in various industries. Such as in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents, personal health care, shampoos, cosmetics, toiletries, and pharmaceutical products in the Oleo chemical industries as well as animal feed manufacturing.
Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate-PKFAD originated 100% from vegetable-based palm Kernel Oil from Malaysia.
Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate-PKFAD is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Kernel Oil Origin from Malaysia and Kosher Certified.

Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate, commonly known as PKFAD, is a by-product obtained during the refining process of Palm Kernel Oil. It typically contains 80% to 90% free fatty acids and appears as a light brown semi-solid at room temperature.
PKFAD is produced through the splitting of fats under high temperature and pressure. Due to its high free fatty acid content, it is widely used as a raw material in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, shampoos, and other personal care products.
Additionally, it serves as an important ingredient in animal feed formulations and plays a significant role in the oleochemical and biodiesel industries. Beyond these applications, PKFAD is also utilized in rubber processing, candle manufacturing, and cosmetic products, making it a versatile and valuable component derived from vegetable-based palm kernel oil.
Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate (PKFAD) is produced during the physical refining of crude palm kernel oil (CPKO). When CPKO undergoes de-acidification, Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate is formed as a by-product.
PKFAD is widely used in the oleochemical industry as an ingredient in soaps, detergents, and bath products. It functions effectively as a surfactant, emulsifier, and foaming agent in these applications.
PKFAD also serves as a valuable source of dietary fat and energy in animal feed formulations, particularly for poultry and swine.
In the textile industry, PKFAD and its esters are utilized in the production of intermediates and lubricants, highlighting its versatility across various industrial sectors.
