Palm-based Oleic Acid 78% Min for industrial formulation
Oleic Acid 78% Min is a commercial C18:1 fatty-acid grade selected when a buyer needs a higher oleic content than broad-cut grades, together with controlled color, acidity, iodine value, titer and chain distribution. Timur Oleochemicals coordinates palm-based oleic acid supply from Malaysia for manufacturers, chemical distributors and formulation businesses worldwide.
What does “78% min” actually tell you? It means the applicable specification sets oleic acid, or C18:1, at not less than 78% by the stated analytical method. It should not be confused with reagent-grade purity, and it does not by itself make the product food, pharmaceutical or cosmetic grade. The remaining fatty-acid profile and the values your process really cares about must be checked on the current technical data sheet and certificate of analysis.
That distinction matters. A soap manufacturer may focus on color, titer and fatty-acid distribution; a lubricant or metalworking formulator may pay closer attention to iodine value and low-temperature handling; a cosmetics, personal-care, food or pharmaceutical buyer will also need evidence that the offered grade and production controls suit the intended market. One product name, several approval routes. Chemistry does enjoy making procurement earn its coffee.
Timur’s role is to help your team match the application to the available product, confirm the current documentation and coordinate commercial supply. Share your target specification, annual or trial quantity, destination port, Incoterm, packing preference and required shipment date. The export team can then respond with a relevant offer instead of starting the traditional twelve-email guessing game.
Technical screening
Oleic Acid 78% Min specification guide
Use this overview for initial sourcing. For material approval, rely on the current signed specification, safety data sheet and lot-specific COA supplied with Timur’s quotation.
| Parameter | Product-page value | Buyer action |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Oleic Acid 78% Min | Confirm the offered producer and grade code. |
| Oleic acid / C18:1 | 78% minimum | Confirm test method and full fatty-acid distribution. |
| Chemical / INCI name | Oleic Acid; cis-9-octadecenoic acid | Use the identity shown on the offered SDS and TDS. |
| CAS number | 112-80-1 | Check whether any mixture-specific identifier also appears on the documents. |
| Formula / molecular weight | C18H34O2 / 282.46 g·mol−1 | Reference identity only; commercial grades contain a fatty-acid distribution. |
| Feedstock origin | Palm-based, vegetable origin | Request current origin and animal-origin statements for the offered supply. |
| Appearance, color and odor | As stated on the current TDS and COA | Set acceptance limits appropriate to your formulation and storage temperature. |
| Acid value, iodine value, titer, moisture and saponification value | Grade- and producer-specific | Compare the complete controlled specification with your approved benchmark. |
| HS classification | Commonly 3823.12.00 for oleic acid | Importer must confirm the final local tariff code with its customs adviser. |
| Commercial documents | TDS, SDS and COA; other statements or certificates as applicable | Ask for documents that match the producer, grade, lot and destination market. |
Approval rule: a bigger assay number is not automatically a better commercial choice. Approve the grade that meets your process, finished-product and regulatory requirements without paying for specifications you do not need.
Where buyers use it
Oleic Acid 78% Min applications
The descriptions below are starting points for technical screening, not formulation instructions. Buyers should complete compatibility testing and regulatory review for their market.
Fatty-acid feedstock
Used in soap, surfactant and detergent chemistry where fatty-acid profile, color, titer and process behavior affect the finished formula.
Formulation ingredient
Evaluated as an emollient, emulsification aid or chemical intermediate. Confirm cosmetic suitability, impurities and required market documentation for the exact grade.
Lubricity & derivative feedstock
Used in lubricant, grease and metalworking formulations and as a starting material for esters and selected corrosion-control chemistries.
Alkyd and specialty chemistry
Considered for alkyd resins, coatings, adhesives, plasticizers and related derivatives where unsaturation and fatty-acid composition influence performance.
Processing auxiliaries
Used in selected emulsifying, softening and finishing chemistries. Validate the grade in the buyer’s own process and wastewater requirements.
Versatile C18:1 intermediate
A raw material for selected esters, amides, amines, metallic soaps, surfactants and other oleochemical derivatives.
Document-led qualification
Any excipient or drug-manufacturing use requires the appropriate pharmaceutical grade, quality system, change control and market-specific evidence; 78% content alone is insufficient.
Food-grade evidence required
Food use should be discussed only when the offered grade is supported by the relevant food-grade specification, safety, facility and destination-market compliance documents.
Repeatable resale supply
Distributors can qualify the exact producer, specification, packing, document set and change-notification expectations before building customer commitments.
Quality evidence
Documents to request before approval
Good B2B SEO answers the question a buyer asks after “Do you sell it?” For Oleic Acid 78% Min, that next question is usually “Can QA approve it?” Ask Timur for a document set that matches the actual producer and grade being quoted.
- Current technical data sheet (TDS) and controlled specification
- Current safety data sheet (SDS) for handling, storage and transport review
- Recent or lot-specific certificate of analysis (COA)
- Complete fatty-acid chain distribution and referenced analytical methods
- Country-of-origin, vegetable-origin and animal-origin statements where required
- GMO, allergen or other product statements when relevant to the approved application
- Applicable quality, sustainability, Halal or Kosher certificates for the offered producer and grade
- Destination-specific regulatory or registration evidence agreed before order
Packing and export coordination
Bulk Oleic Acid 78% Min supply from Malaysia
Depending on current product, volume, route and buyer unloading capability, packing options may include drums, flexibags or ISO tanks. Ask Timur to confirm the net unit weight, container load plan, palletisation, loading point, minimum order quantity and any route-specific restrictions in the written quotation.
Because oleic-acid grades can thicken or partially crystallize in cool conditions, your receiving plan should follow the current SDS, TDS and supplier-approved handling guidance. Confirm discharge equipment, storage temperature and any controlled warming procedure before the shipment arrives not while a truck driver watches the clock.

Buyer questions
Oleic Acid 78% Min FAQ
Short answers for initial sourcing. The current quotation, signed specification, SDS, TDS and lot-specific COA govern the supplied material.
What does Oleic Acid 78% Min mean?
It means the controlled specification sets oleic acid, or C18:1, at not less than 78% using the stated analytical method. It describes the minimum content within a commercial fatty-acid distribution; it is not the same as 78% reagent purity.
What are the CAS number and molecular formula?
Oleic acid is commonly identified by CAS 112-80-1 and molecular formula C18H34O2. Check the current SDS because a commercial mixed fatty-acid product may also carry additional identifiers.
Is Timur’s Oleic Acid 78% Min palm based and vegetable origin?
This offer is described as palm-based and of vegetable origin. Request the current producer, country-of-origin and animal-origin statements for the exact supply being quoted.
Can Oleic Acid 78% Min be used in cosmetics, personal care, food or pharmaceuticals?
Potential suitability is grade-, formulation- and market-specific. A 78% C18:1 minimum alone does not establish cosmetic, food or pharmaceutical compliance. State your end use and required standard so Timur can confirm whether the offered product and documents fit your approval route.
Which technical documents can buyers request?
Request the current TDS, SDS and recent or lot-specific COA. Depending on the offered producer and application, you may also need full chain distribution, origin statements and applicable quality, sustainability, Halal, Kosher or regulatory evidence.
Which packing options, MOQ and container loads are available?
Drums, flexibags or ISO tanks may be available depending on the current product, quantity, route and destination. Ask for the confirmed pack size, MOQ, palletisation and final container load plan in the written quotation.
How do I get a bulk price from Malaysia?
Send your application, target specification, quantity, destination port, packing preference, Incoterm, required shipment date and document list. Timur will confirm current availability, lead time and commercial terms.
Can Timur Oleochemicals export worldwide?
Timur coordinates international B2B oleochemical supply from Malaysia. Available routes, destinations, packing and shipment periods must be confirmed for each order and current carrier schedule.
