Overview

About Undecylenic Acid in South Africa

Undecylenic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid derived from castor oil by pyrolysis of ricinoleic acid, supplied as a colourless to pale yellow liquid. It is best known for its antifungal and antimicrobial activity and is used in pharmaceutical and personal-care formulations, and as an intermediate for specialty esters and flavours. The related salt zinc undecylenate and the aldehyde heptaldehyde are available through the same castor-derived chain.

Zentish Exim sources undecylenic acid from qualified Indian producers, with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets. Grade and specification are reported per batch on request.

South Africa's mining, coatings and industrial sectors consume lubricant and resin ingredients. Castor specialties such as 12-HSA suit grease applications, while CNSL derivatives support coatings and friction materials.
