Frequently Asked Questions
The main end-use segments for Erucic Acid are plastics and polymers, personal care and cosmetics, industrial lubricants, pharmaceuticals, and textile and leather chemicals. Slip-agent applications account for approximately 40.0% of demand, cosmetics and personal care 24.9%, industrial lubricants 17.9%, pharmaceuticals 11.1%, and textile and leather chemicals 6.0%. Erucic acid is also used in printing inks, rubber, surfactants, and specialty chemical intermediates.
Erucic Acid is primarily produced from high-erucic rapeseed oil. Rapeseeds are cleaned, crushed, and mechanically pressed or solvent-extracted to obtain crude oil. The oil is refined and hydrolysed to split triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, after which the fatty-acid mixture is separated and fractionated by distillation to isolate and purify Erucic Acid. High-purity grades are obtained through advanced distillation and fractionation.
The principal feedstock is high-erucic rapeseed oil, produced from high-erucic rapeseed, with canola, mustard, and other suitable oilseed sources also used. Rapeseed oil accounts for more than 80% of market revenue by source, making high-erucic oil the dominant raw-material input and the principal driver of feedstock costs.
Asia-Pacific is a leading region for Erucic Acid, supported by its oleochemical processing base, oilseed availability, plastics and lubricant industries, and integrated downstream manufacturing. The region accounted for approximately 45% of the global Erucic Acid market. Europe and North America are also significant production and consumption regions, supported by established rapeseed cultivation and oleochemical industries.
