LFA (LOW FATTY ACID OIL)
Raw Material for Biodiesel & Paints/Coatings Applications
LFA (Low Fatty Acid Oil) refers to refined or semi-refined oils with low Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content. Due to its low acidity, high stability, and cleaner composition, it is preferred in quality-sensitive industrial applications.
Key Applications
1. Biodiesel Production (High-Quality Feedstock)
- Ideal for alkali-catalyzed transesterification processes
- Low FFA ensures higher biodiesel yield
- Minimizes soap formation during processing
- Improves overall production efficiency
2. Paints & Coatings (Selective Use)
- Used in manufacturing high-quality alkyd resins
- Provides better consistency and smooth finish
- Enhances durability and coating performance
