Acid line under the designations Emersol 142 (80%) and Emersol 144 (90%). Along with Emersol 140 (70%), they provide a wider choice of high-purity palmitics to best meet your application requirements. And, their extremely low I.V., light color, and low unsaponifiable content assure you that they are of the same unsurpassed high quality as aft

In the surface coatings field the ratio of low linolenic to linoleic content is especially important. High proportions of linolenic acid result in yellowing of films. In whites or pastels, particularly, after-yellowing (yellowing of film

All Emersol Linoleic Acids are low-titer (5°C), liquid fatty acids possessing light colors (4 max. Gardner), and low unsaponifiable contents (1%). They are carefully controlled during processing to assure uniformity. Emersol 315, containing approximately 62 per cent linoleic acid, is the purest grade
