"Oleochemicals" in the broad sense are chemicals derived from natural fats and oils, irrespective of whether they are derived from animal, marine or vegetable sources. Similar chemicals may be synthesized petrochemicals but they are classified as Synthetic Chemicals and not oleochemicals. Oleochemical Products
The products currently manufactured by oleochemical companies in ASEAN are mainly basic oleochemicals which include fatty acids, glycerine, methylesters and fatty alcohols. Basic oleochemicals may be referred to as the building blocks of the chemical industry. Using these basic building blocks as raw materials, a downstream chemical industry can be established. Examples of downstream oleochemicals and derivatives are fatty amines, soaps, alkanolamides, esters, etc. Uses of Oleochemicals
