Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining

CPC v2.1 Code: 3412

About industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining

cpc code 3412 covers the production of industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids and acid oils derived from the refining process. These products play a crucial role in a wide range of industries, serving as key ingredients and intermediates for the manufacture of various consumer and industrial goods. As an important segment of the broader chemicals and petrochemicals sector, this industry contributes significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids and acid oils typically involves a multi-step refining process. This begins with the extraction of crude oils and fats, often from plant-based sources such as vegetable oils or animal fats. The crude oils then undergo a series of purification and separation techniques, including neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization, to remove impurities and produce the desired fatty acid fractions.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include a variety of raw materials, such as 1511 Animal oils and fats, 1531 Crude vegetable oils, and 2011 Basic chemicals. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, as well as energy sources, are required to facilitate the refining and separation processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 3412 are industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids and acid oils, which find applications in a diverse range of industries. These products may be further processed or used as inputs for the manufacture of 3415 Soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations, 3420 Perfumes and toilet preparations, and 3430 Paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing ink and mastics.
