Univar Solutions offers a wide range of fractionated fatty acids to fit the performance of your formula in bulk, totes, drums, pails, and cases.

Fractionation is a process of separating fatty acids into different cuts, made possible due to their various boiling points. Most fatty acids have a breakdown of their typical compositions and range from 95 – 99% purity.

Fractionated fatty acids are versatile, natural products, which are used in dairy cleaners, flavors and fragrances, industrial and institutional cleaners, alkyd resins, personal care, agricultural chemicals, textile chemicals, and chemical intermediates.

The most common fractionated fatty acids are:
