CAS 68308-53-2

Chemical Formula Mixture (primarily C16–C18 fatty acids)

Molecular Weight Approx. 280 – 300 g/mol (average, mixture based)

Soya Acid Oil is a by-product obtained during the refining of soybean oil. It is a dark brown, free-flowing oily liquid containing a mixture of fatty acids, neutral oil, and natural impurities. Soya acid oil finds major applications in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents, rubber processing chemicals, animal feed supplements, lubricants, and biofuels. It is also used in the production of alkyd resins, paints, coatings, and fatty acid derivatives. Being a renewable and vegetable-based product, soya acid oil is considered an economical and sustainable alternative to many petroleum-based raw materials.

Industrial Uses

1. Cleaning & Disifectants

  • Soap Manufacturing: Soya Acid Oil is extensively used as an economical raw material in the production of laundry soaps, washing bars, and cleaning soaps. Its high fatty acid content makes it highly suitable for saponification processes, enabling efficient soap formation.
  • Fatty Acid Source: It acts as a rich and reliable source of mixed fatty acids required for manufacturing soaps and detergents. These fatty acids help in generating good lathering, cleansing action, and effective dirt removal in finished products.
  • Soap Noodle Production: The oil is commonly utilized in the manufacture of soap noodles, which are further processed into various household and industrial soap products. It helps in achieving consistent texture and quality in soap formulations.
  • Cost-Effective Surfactants: By partially replacing expensive refined oils, Soya Acid Oil allows manufacturers to produce quality detergents and cleaning agents at a much lower cost without compromising performance.

2. Energy

  • Biodiesel Feedstock: Soya Acid Oil is widely used as a low-cost, non-edible raw material for the production of biodiesel. It serves as an excellent alternative feedstock to refined vegetable oils in biofuel manufacturing.
  • Transesterification Input: The oil is processed through esterification and transesterification reactions to produce Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), which form the base component of biodiesel fuel.
  • Renewable Energy Source: Being derived from vegetable oil refining, it supports the production of renewable and environmentally friendly fuels, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
  • Carbon Reduction Support: Use of Soya Acid Oil in biodiesel helps industries lower greenhouse gas emissions and meet sustainability and carbon footprint reduction goals.

3. Animal Healthcare

  • Energy-Rich Ingredient: Soya Acid Oil is used as a concentrated energy source in poultry, cattle, and aquaculture feed. Its high calorific value supports better growth rates, improved body weight gain, and enhanced overall animal performance.
  • Fat Source: It provides essential fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acid, which are important for maintaining good health, immunity, reproduction, and skin condition in animals.
  • Feed Palatability Improver: The inclusion of Soya Acid Oil improves the taste, aroma, and texture of compound feed, encouraging higher feed intake and better acceptance by livestock and poultry.
  • Economical Nutrition Booster: It serves as an affordable alternative to refined oils in feed formulations, enabling feed manufacturers to produce energy-dense and nutritionally balanced feed at reduced cost.
