Oleochemicals

Palm-derived oleochemicals, a sustainable and versatile alternative

Oleochemical products are derived from naturally occurring fats and oils from vegetable and animal sources. Oleochemicals are present in hundreds of daily household items such as soap, laundry detergent and cosmetics. They also have thousands of applications in the lubricant, pharmaceutical, plastic, rubber, and animal feed industries.

Sinar Mas Oleochemical together with our joint venture, Sinar Mas Cepsa, provide a one-stop solution for customers looking to enhance their natural portfolio with palm-based oleochemicals. Our two high-tech plants located in Medan and Dumai, Indonesia produce 440.000 tonnes (annually) of oleochemicals derived from responsibly sourced palm and palm kernel oils and fats.

We offer an extensive portfolio of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerine, and soap noodles manufactured using stringent quality control processes. We also develop innovative tailor-made products designed to meet each customer’s needs.

Why choose palm-derived oleochemicals?

Consumers are increasingly concerned about the adverse role of fossil-fuel-based petrochemicals in climate change. They see plant-based products (including oleochemicals) as greener and natural.

More and more people are choosing oleochemicals to replace petrochemicals in everyday products like household cleaners and personal care items and cosmetics, making it the perfect time for brands and manufacturers to expand their natural portfolio.
