A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Coconut (copra) oil, CAS 8001-31-8, supplied to the standard 76-degree (Fahrenheit) melt grade. A lauric-rich fixed oil used as a food and frying oil, an emollient in personal care, and a feedstock for surfactant and oleochemical manufacture.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does coconut oil 76 degree mean?
The '76 degree' designation refers to the approximate melt point in degrees Fahrenheit (~76°F / 24°C) of standard refined coconut (copra) oil, CAS 8001-31-8. It is the common commodity grade, distinct from higher-melt (e.g., 92°) hydrogenated fractions.
What is the difference between 76 degree and 92 degree coconut oil?
76° coconut oil is the standard refined grade melting near 76°F, while 92° coconut oil is hydrogenated to raise its melt point to about 92°F for greater hardness and oxidative stability. The 92° grade is firmer at room temperature and is chosen where a harder fat is needed.
What is coconut oil 76 used for in industry?
It serves as an edible/frying and confectionery fat, an oleochemical feedstock for lauric acid and fatty-acid derivatives, a precursor for coconut-derived surfactants and esters, and an emollient carrier in personal care.
What packaging is bulk coconut oil 76 available in?
RawSource supplies 76° coconut oil in drums, IBC totes, and bulk. Request a CoA and SDS with your quote to confirm grade, free fatty acid, and melt-point specification for food versus technical use.
What HS code applies to coconut oil 76?
Refined coconut (copra) oil is classified under HS 1513.19 — coconut oil and its fractions, other than crude. Confirm the final classification with your customs broker for your destination.
