Palm kernel fatty acid distillate

Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a byproduct of the palm oil refining process, consisting mainly of free fatty acids, with small amounts of triglycerides and other impurities. It is widely used in the production of soaps, detergents, and animal feed due to its high fat content. PFAD is also a valuable raw material for the production of biodiesel, contributing to renewable energy sources. Its fatty acids are useful in the manufacturing of oleochemicals, which are key ingredients in cosmetics, candles, and lubricants. While PFAD is a byproduct, it plays a significant role in various industries, making it an economically important material for both industrial and agricultural applications.
