Overview of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a by-product obtained during the refining of crude palm oil. It mainly contains free fatty acids along with small amounts of neutral oil and natural antioxidants. PFAD is widely used as a cost-effective raw material in soap manufacturing, animal feed, oleochemicals, biodiesel, and industrial applications. It is valued for its high fatty acid content, consistent quality, and easy availability.
Application of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate
Soap and Detergent Manufacturing
Palm fatty acid distillate is widely used in soap noodles and detergent formulations because of its high free fatty acid content. It is commonly blended with:
Oleochemical and Surfactant Industry
PFAD acts as a cost-effective feedstock for oleochemicals, fatty alcohols, and surfactants. It works well with Fatty Alcohol.
Animal Feed and Nutritional Applications
Due to its energy value, palm fatty acid distillate is used in animal feed formulations, especially for poultry and livestock.
Biofuel and Industrial Applications
PFAD is used in biodiesel production, lubricants, and industrial fatty acid blends, often combined with Oleic Acid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD)?
PFAD is a fatty acid-rich by-product obtained during palm oil refining.What is the difference between PFAD and PKFAD?
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate comes from palm oil, while PKFAD (Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate) comes from palm kernel oil and has a different fatty acid profile.What is the formula of palm fatty acid distillate?
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate does not have a single chemical formula because it is a mixture of fatty acids, mainly palmitic and oleic acids.What is palm fatty acid distillate used for?
It is used in soaps, detergents, oleochemicals, animal feed, biodiesel, and industrial formulations.What is the composition of palm fatty acid distillate?
It mainly contains palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, and other free fatty acids.
