Product Overview
Oleic Acid (C18:1) is the most abundant mono-unsaturated fatty acid found in both animal and vegetable sources. It is a yellow to pale-yellow oily liquid with a mild odor. Its double bond gives it higher reactivity than saturated fatty acids, making it valuable for surface-active and lubricating applications.
Vestra supplies oleic acid in technical and refined grades for industrial buyers across rubber, metalworking, and textile sectors.
