Crude Palm Kernel Oil

The crushing of palm kernels produces crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) and palm kernel expeller (PKE). It is very similar to coconut oil in that it has a high percentage of lauric acid which allows it to produce hard soaps with good lather. Palm Kernel Oil is therefore a cost-effective substitute for Crude Coconut Oil in the production of quality soaps. Palm Kernel Oil is part of a group of Lauric Oils, which is largely used by the oleochemical industry for the production of cleaning agents and detergents.
