Fatty Acid - C18 Production Cost Report

Fatty Acid - C18 is a long-chain fatty acid mainly used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, candles, lubricants, shaving soaps, and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, it is also used to treat symptoms of eczema, reducing inflammation, and retaining skin moisture. It is also employed as an additive in shampoos and detergents. It is used in combination with castor oil to prepare softeners in textile sizing. It also finds applications in several niche applications like candle manufacturing, candy hardener, and dietary supplements. In fireworks, the acid is used for coating metal powders like aluminium and iron, preventing oxidation and increasing the storage duration. Also, it has been used as a common lubricant for injection molding and pressing ceramic powders over the years. Along with that, it is also used as a mold release for foam latex, which is baked to form stone molds.

The market for Fatty Acid - C18 is driven by its usage in cosmetics, skincare, and personal care products due to its emulsifying and moisturizing properties. Its utilization as an additive and emulsifier in processed food products elevates its demand in the food industry. Its function in various industrial applications, such as lubricants, detergents, and plastics, amplifies its market appeal.

The rising focus on eco-friendly and bio-based products boosts its market growth. Technological advancements, such as the conversion of waste cooking oil into C18 fatty acids using lipases, help in waste management as well as drive the demand for Fatty Acid-C18. Also, industrial Fatty Acid – C18 procurement is further influenced by consumer awareness towards a healthy lifestyle, that elevates the demand for fatty acids that can be incorporated into dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals.

Raw Material for Fatty Acid - C18 Production

According to the Fatty Acid - C18 manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Fatty Acid - C18 include palm oil or other grease oils.

Manufacturing Process of Fatty Acid - C18

The extensive Fatty Acid - C18 production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

  • Production via Hydrolyzation, Hydrogenation, and Distillation: The manufacturing process of Fatty Acid - C18 or stearic acid occurs via hydrolyzation, hydrogenation, and distillation. The process starts with hydrolyzing palm oil or other grease oils to give the fatty acids, followed by hydrogenation in the presence of a nickel catalyst, maintaining temperature and pressure conditions. The hydrogenated fatty acids undergo distillation in a distillation tower to separate the Fatty Acid - C18 from the mixture and purify it to finally produce pure Fatty Acid - C18.

Fatty Acid - C18 or Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a long-chain fatty acid. It is naturally present in several sources, like shea butter and coconut oil. It occurs in animal and plant fats (usually palm or coconut oil). It is a primary element of cocoa and shea butter. It is an emulsifier, emollient, and lubricant which softens the skin and helps keep products from separating. The acid appears to be a white, waxy crystalline solid with a mild pungent odor. It floats on water. It has the role of a plant metabolite, a Daphnia magna metabolite, an algal metabolite, and a human metabolite. It has a molecular weight of 284.484 g/mol and has a density of 0.9408 g/cm3. It has respective melting and boiling points of 69.3 °C and 361 °C.
