Edenor K 12-18
Edenor K 12-18 Fatty Acids, C12-18, and C18-unsaturated Split / Distilled Fatty Acids are terms related to the fatty acid composition of a product. Let's break down these terms:
1. Edenor K 12-18 Fatty Acids: This refers to a product that contains a mixture of fatty acids with carbon chain lengths ranging from C12 to C18. Fatty acids are organic molecules consisting of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. The "K" in Edenor K 12-18 indicates that these are potassium salts of fatty acids. These fatty acids can be derived from natural sources like vegetable oils or animal fats.
2. C12-18 and C18-unsaturated Split / Distilled Fatty Acids: This term specifies the carbon chain lengths of the fatty acids in the product. It includes fatty acids with carbon chain lengths ranging from C12 to C18. Additionally, it specifies that the product contains unsaturated fatty acids, particularly those with C18 chain length, which have one or more double bonds in their carbon chain.
Usage: Fatty acids are widely used in various industries, including personal care, cosmetics, and soaps, as well as in the production of surfactants, detergents, and other chemical products. The specific composition of these fatty acids can influence the properties and functionality of the products in which they are used.
