HS v2022 Code: 382312

About industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids, acid oils from refining; oleic acid

HS code 382312 covers industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids, acid oils from refining, and oleic acid. These products are essential raw materials for a wide range of industries, including chemical manufacturing, personal care, and food processing. As a key component in the production of soaps, detergents, lubricants, and other industrial goods, this industry plays a vital role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids and related products typically involves the refining of natural oils and fats. This process often begins with the extraction of crude oils from sources such as 151110 Crude palm oil or 151211 Crude soybean oil. The crude oils are then subjected to various purification and separation techniques, such as distillation, fractionation, and hydrogenation, to isolate the desired fatty acid components.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include a variety of natural oils and fats, as well as specialized equipment for refining and processing these raw materials. Depending on the specific product, the industry may also rely on chemical reagents, catalysts, and other processing aids. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of operating the necessary machinery and maintaining quality control throughout the production process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 382312 are industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids, acid oils from refining, and oleic acid. These products are widely used as feedstocks for the production of 340111 Soap and organic surface-active products and preparations for use as soap, 340220 Surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations, 382319 Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries, and a variety of other industrial and consumer goods.
