CENTURY Pine-based, Branched Fatty Acids enable formulators to achieve their desired levels of thermal, oxidative and odor stability. These benefits are the result of the product’s ability to combine the physical properties of oleic acid with the chemical stability of stearic acid via a clay-catalyzed fatty acid rearrangement process.

CENTURY Pine-based, Branched Fatty Acids deliver improved performance in a wide range of applications. Lubricants, detergents and metalworking fluids typically see better thermal and oxidative stability as well as improved metal surface affinity compared to standard linear, long-chain, unsaturated fatty acid types. In asphalt paving, the product can enhance asphaltene and maltene compatibility while serving as a surfactant to stabilize asphalt emulsions.

CENTURY Pine-based, Branched Fatty Acids are derived from tall oil fatty acids (TOFA), which is a biobased material originated from pine trees. Therefore, it is not as sensitive to seasonal changes compared to other plant-derived alternatives while also offering constant high quality. The product is natural, non-edible, not genetically modified and has an overall lower carbon footprint compared to vegetable alternatives.

Monomer Acid Types

CENTURY Pine-based, Branched Fatty Acids offer a unique mixture of branched and straight-chain saturated/unsaturated C18 fatty acids and differ in unsaturation level and viscosity. CENTURY D1 and CENTURY MO5 contain both saturated and unsaturated C18 fatty acids, with branched chain iso-oleic acids constituting the main portion, and with virtually no polyunsaturated fatty acids.
