EMERSOL® Oleic Acid FAQs
What are EMERSOL® oleic acids made from?
The EMERSOL® 213 NF and EMERSOL® 221 NF products listed on this page are tallow oleic acids. Tallow is an animal-derived feedstock. If your formulation has specific sourcing requirements, confirm the selected grade’s suitability with our team.
What are EMERSOL® oleic acids used for?
Applications include industrial lubricants, oilfield, liquid soaps, and metalworking fluids. EMERSOL® oleic acids are also used as components in the production of esters, surfactants, amines, and alkoxylates. The appropriate grade depends on your formulation and performance requirements.
What is oleic acid used for in industrial applications?
Industrial oleic acid is used in industrial lubricants, metalworking fluids, oilfield chemicals and liquid soaps, and as a raw material for esters, surfactants, amines and alkoxylates. Emery's EMERSOL® tallow oleic acids, including EMERSOL® 213 NF and EMERSOL® 221 NF, also replace tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) and offer low titer, color stability and resistance to rancidity.
Who supplies industrial oleic acid?
Emery Oleochemicals supplies industrial oleic acid under the EMERSOL® brand, including EMERSOL® 213 NF and EMERSOL® 221 NF tallow oleic acids. These grades are used in industrial lubricants, metalworking fluids, oilfield chemicals and liquid soaps, and in the production of esters, surfactants and amines. Emery provides technical data sheets and samples on request.
How do I choose between EMERSOL® 213 NF and EMERSOL® 221 NF?
Compare each grade’s acid value, iodine value, titer, color, and fatty acid chain distribution with your formulation requirements. Review the product table above and request the relevant technical data sheets. If you need help evaluating the options, contact our team with your application and required specifications.
Can EMERSOL® oleic acids be considered as a TOFA replacement?
EMERSOL® oleic acids are listed for use as a tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) replacement. Suitability should be evaluated for the specific formulation and performance requirements rather than assumed to be a drop-in substitution. Discuss your application with our team to identify the technical information needed for your evaluation.
How can I request an EMERSOL® oleic acid technical data sheet?
Select Request TDS beside EMERSOL® 213 NF or EMERSOL® 221 NF in the product table. If you are unsure which grade to consider, share your application and specification requirements with our team.
