Palm Kernel Oil Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- PKO
Palm kernel oil supplier for food, soap, oleochemical and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Commonly shortened to PKO, palm kernel oil is obtained from the kernel of the oil palm fruit and is distinct from palm oil from the fruit flesh. It is valued as a lauric vegetable oil for direct formulation and further processing.
Commercial options include crude palm kernel oil for refining or conversion, RBD palm kernel oil for applications that need refined colour and odour, and hydrogenated grades where harder melting behaviour is required. A 190 kg drum is a recorded pack option, while the final packing is confirmed for the quoted grade.
Palm kernel oil is used in soap noodles, bar soap, detergents, surfactants, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerine and downstream esters. Properly specified refined or specialty-fat grades also serve confectionery, bakery fats, non-dairy creamers and selected personal-care or industrial formulations.
Send the required grade, application, receiving specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, allowing crude, RBD or hydrogenated requirements to be matched without assuming one standard grade.
- Grade
- crude, RBD, hydrogenated, food, industrial
- Appearance
- pale yellow to golden or light brown oil, depending on refining grade and temperature
Palm Kernel Oil grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crude palm kernel oil | unrefined palm kernel oil, liquid or semi-solid according to temperature | — | Feedstock for refining, oleochemical processing, soap manufacture and other industrial conversion where the buyer specifies crude palm kernel oil. State the required quality limits and downstream process with the enquiry. | A 190 kg drum is a recorded pack option; confirm packing with the quotation. |
| RBD palm kernel oil | refined, bleached and deodorised palm kernel oil | — | Food-fat manufacture, confectionery and specialty-fat blending, and industrial formulations that require a refined palm kernel oil with lower colour and odour than crude material. | A 190 kg drum is a recorded pack option; confirm packing with the quotation. |
| Hydrogenated palm kernel oil | hardened palm kernel oil, usually handled as a semi-solid or solid fat | — | Specialty fats, coatings, soap and formulated products where the process calls for harder melting behaviour than ordinary crude or RBD palm kernel oil. Confirm the required melting profile in the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Palm Kernel Oil applications
Safety and handling
Keep containers sealed and protect the oil from excessive heat, moisture, contamination and strong odours. Heated transfer should use suitable temperature control. Follow the handling information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about palm kernel oil
What is the difference between palm kernel oil and palm oil?
Palm kernel oil comes from the seed or kernel of the oil palm fruit, while palm oil comes from the fruit flesh. They have different fatty acid profiles and processing behaviour, so they should not be treated as interchangeable materials. State palm kernel oil explicitly when that is what the formula requires.
Which palm kernel oil grades can be quoted?
Commercial enquiries may cover crude palm kernel oil, RBD refined palm kernel oil and hydrogenated grades. The right choice depends on whether the oil will be refined further, converted into oleochemicals, used in food-fat manufacture or incorporated into an industrial formulation.
Is palm kernel oil the same as palm stearin?
No. Palm stearin is the solid fraction separated from palm oil, which comes from the fruit flesh. Palm kernel oil is obtained from the kernel and is a distinct lauric oil. Palm kernel stearin is also a separate fractionated product and should be named specifically if required.
What specifications should a palm kernel oil buyer provide?
State the grade and any limits for free fatty acid or acid value, moisture and impurities, colour, peroxide value, iodine value or melting behaviour. A current receiving specification is the clearest basis for matching a quotation.
Is 190 kg drum packing available for palm kernel oil?
A 190 kg drum is a recorded commercial pack option. Packing can vary by grade and supply arrangement, so include the required quantity and preferred format in the enquiry. The offered pack is confirmed with the quotation.
What information is needed for a palm kernel oil price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing, documentation and required timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
