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.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of Coconut Oil (76 Degree, CNO)?
Coconut Oil (76 Degree, CNO) (CAS 8001-31-8) is listed as Active on the U.S. EPA TSCA Inventory; its REACH registration status is not determined from the public ECHA registry.
