Fatty acids, cottonseed-oil is a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid or semi-solid at room temperature, with a mild characteristic odor and low volatility; its melting point varies depending on composition but typically ranges from 15–30 °C, and it decomposes before boiling. It is classified as a mixture of naturally derived aliphatic carboxylic acids—predominantly palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids—obtained via hydrolysis of cottonseed oil triglycerides. As a renewable feedstock, it serves primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, soaps, and metal soaps. Its main application areas include personal care formulations, industrial cleaning products, plasticizers, and coatings.
