Soya Fatty Acid (SOFA)

Soya Fatty Acid is a mixture of fatty acids derived from the hydrolysis of soybean oil. It appears as a light yellow to yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature. Its composition is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid and oleic acid, granting it good reactivity and flexibility. It is a versatile, bio-based raw material widely used as a chemical intermediate and additive.

The main detailed uses of the product
  • Soap & Detergent Production
    Soap & Detergent Production

    Used as a key feedstock for soap making (saponification) and as a raw material for producing surfactants. It contributes to good lathering and cleaning properties in liquid and bar soaps.

  • Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions
    Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions

    Acts as an emollient and co-emulsifier in creams and lotions. Its unsaturated structure provides good skin feel and helps stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.

  • Alkyd Resins & Coatings
    Alkyd Resins & Coatings

    Serves as a renewable raw material in the synthesis of alkyd resins for paints and coatings. It imparts flexibility, durability, and improved drying properties to the final film.

  • Rubber & Plastic Lubricants
    Rubber & Plastic Lubricants

    Functions as an internal and external lubricant and release agent in the processing of rubber and plastics, reducing viscosity and preventing sticking to molds.
