Fatty Acids

Fatty acids are naturally occurring organic acids that are obtained from oils and fats by hydrolysis and are refined by fractionation, distillation or hydrogenation. They differ in the length of the carbon chains, which are unbranched in natural fatty acids and have an even number of carbon atoms. The fatty acid distribution in the oil or fat of the natural source determines the composition of the available fatty acids.

Berg+Schmidt covers the entire spectrum of different carbon chains and offers a wide range of products. Our fatty acids are obtained exclusively from natural oils and fats and thus from renewable raw resources. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is aligned with the changing landscape of industrial solutions.
