Acid Oil Soya

Whatsapp Order

Acid Oil Soya is a byproduct derived from the refining of soybean oil. It is a dark-colored, free fatty acid-rich liquid containing mainly oleic and linoleic acids. Acid Oil Soya is commonly used in industrial applications such as soap making, animal feed, and as a raw material in the production of biodiesel, lubricants, and other chemicals.

Description

Primary Uses

Biodiesel Production
- Used as a low-cost feedstock for biodiesel manufacturing due to its high free fatty acid (FFA) content.
- Processed via esterification/transesterification to produce fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
Animal Feed Supplement
- Mixed with feed pellets as an energy source for livestock (poultry, cattle, pigs).
- Provides fatty acids for improved animal growth and coat condition.
Soap & Oleochemical Industry
- Raw material for low-grade soaps and fatty acid distillation.
- Used in lubricants, greases, and industrial surfactants.

Secondary Uses

Agriculture
- Acts as a dust suppressant in feed mills.
- Used in organic pesticides as a carrier oil.
Wastewater Treatment
- Helps in flotation processes to remove oil/grease from industrial effluents.
Rubber & Plastics
- Softening agent in rubber recycling.

Respiratory: N95 mask (when handling heated material)
Body: Chemical-resistant apron + steel-toe boots

Handling & Storage:

Store in stainless steel or HDPE containers
Keep away from oxidizers and strong acids
Maintain temperature below 50°C (to prevent decomposition)
Use grounded equipment to prevent static discharge

Hygiene Measures:

No eating/drinking in handling areas
Wash hands thoroughly after handling
Provide emergency eyewash station nearby

2. First Aid Measures

Skin Contact:

Remove contaminated clothing
Wash with mild soap and warm water for 15 minutes
Apply emollient cream if irritation occurs

Eye Contact:

Flush with lukewarm water for 15-20 minutes
Seek medical attention if irritation persists

Ingestion:

Rinse mouth with water
