Palmac 98-16
Palmitic Acid, known chemically as hexadecanoic acid, stands as a significant component in industrial processes owing to its diverse chemical properties. Derived predominantly from natural sources like palm oil and animal fats, it finds extensive use across various industrial sectors.In industrial manufacturing, Palmitic Acid serves as a crucial raw material in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and corrosion inhibitors. Its chemical structure enables it to function effectively in metalworking fluids, textile processing, and plastic manufacturing. As a surfactant, it aids in the dispersion of particles in liquids, promoting effective cleaning and surface treatment in industrial settings.
