Overview of Rice Bran Fatty Acid

Rice Bran Fatty Acid (RBFA) is a high-value unsaturated fatty acid obtained from the refining of rice bran oil. Rich in oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids, it is highly prized for its antioxidant properties and excellent emollient characteristics. Appearing as a light-to-dark amber liquid or semi-solid, it is a versatile industrial-grade ingredient used extensively in the production of alkyd resins, industrial soaps, and as a specialized lubricant. Its unique composition, which includes natural tocopherols and oryzanol, provides superior oxidative stability, making it a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to other vegetable fatty acids.

At ChemicalBull Pvt. Ltd., we are a leading chemical company and a reliable chemical manufacturer and supplier of Rice Bran Fatty Acid. As a top-rated chemical vendor in Vapi, we offer high-purity grades that cater to both the industrial coating and personal care chemical categories.


Applications of Rice Bran Fatty Acid

Alkyd Resins & Protective Coatings

Rice Bran Fatty Acid is a key raw material in the manufacturing of high-quality alkyd resins. It provides excellent film flexibility, high gloss, and non-yellowing characteristics to paints and varnishes. For advanced coating solutions, it is often formulated alongside Pentaerythritol and Phthalic Anhydride to enhance drying speed and durability.


Soap & Detergent Manufacturing

In the soap industry, it is used as a cost-effective alternative to tallow or other vegetable fatty acids. As a reputable chemical manufacturing company, we know it works effectively with Caustic Soda Flakes to produce soaps with good lathering and skin-conditioning properties.


Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids

Due to its high lubricity and thermal stability, RBFA is used in the production of cutting oils and metallic soaps (stearates). As a reliable chemical sourcing partner, we recommend pairing it with Triethanolamine (TEA) to create stable, anti-corrosive emulsions for metal processing.


Textile & Leather Finishing Agents

In textile processing, it acts as a softening and wetting agent. As a reliable chemical vendor in Vapi, we provide this as a premium import substitute chemical in India. It integrates smoothly with PEG-400 to produce high-efficiency textile auxiliaries and leather treatment chemicals.


Safety Precautions When Handling Rice Bran Fatty Acid

  • Store in a cool, dry place in stainless steel or high-density plastic containers to prevent contamination.

  • Keep away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents to avoid rancidity and color degradation.

  • Use standard industrial PPE, including gloves and safety glasses, when handling bulk liquid drums.

  • Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated and away from open flames or high-heat sources.

  • Refer to the detailed safety guidelines provided by your technical data sheet (TDS) provider for industrial hygiene.
