Fatty acid hydrogenation
View productsOur nickel based catalysts were optimized to fully hydrogenate fatty acids of animal, marine or vegetable origin. The catalysts are robust and are especially suited for fatty acid hydrogenations carried out at conditions that cause deactivation by the formation of nickel soaps such as high temperatures (>200◦C) and low pressure. Our catalysts enable hydrogenation to very low iodine values.
Fatty acid hydrogenation products:
Nysofact® 117
IQatalyst’s Nysofact® 117 is a highly effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of fatty acids to very low iodine values. Nysofact® 117 shows optimal suppression of nickel soaps formation and has excellent filtration characteristics. Nysofact® 117 is sold reduced and protected in fully hardened vegetable oil.
Nysofact® 120
IQatalyst’s Nysofact® 120 is a highly effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of fatty acids to very low iodine values. Nysofact® 120 shows optimal suppression of nickel soaps, is very poison resistant and has excellent filtration characteristics. Nysofact® 120 is sold reduced and protected in fully hardened vegetable oil.
