SOYBEAN OIL

Description

Vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean (Glycine max). It is one of the most widely consumed cooking oils. As a drying oil, processed soybean oil is also used as a base for printing inks (soy ink) and oil paints.

Soybean oil is mostly used for frying and baking. It is also used as a condiment for salads. One of many drying oils, which means that it will slowly harden (due to free-radical based polymerization) upon exposure to air, forming a flexible, transparent, and waterproof solid. Because of this property, it is used in some printing ink and oil paint formulations. However, other oils (such as linseed oil) may be superior for some drying oil applications.

Packaging

Steel Drums/Plastic drums: 210 Ltr
Steel drums are easy to handle, often used by end users who do not have large storage facilities. Our closed-head steel drums have a standardized bunghole arrangement, with one 2” NPT and one ¾” NPT threaded bunghole on opposite sides of the top head.
Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC): 600 Ltr / 1000 Ltr
Customers looking for a more efficient container for large quantities of vegetable oils should turn to intermediate bulk containers (IBC). IBCs decrease customer costs through reduced handling, storage space and shipping expenses. They are easy to use, transport and recycle. Our standard IBC includes a high-density polyethylene bottle in a solid reinforced steel cage that is attached to a wooden, plastic or steel pallet.
Tank Containers: 22-23 MT
For those who prefer to load volume, we are able to supply a wide range of edible oils and fats in ISO tank containers. We own a large number of tanks which are used for edible oils only. Our tanks are provided with steam or electrical heating and isolation for vegetable oils and fats.
Flexi Tank: 22-23 MT
As an alternative to tank containers, we offer a wide range of vegetable oils in Flexi Tanks which is the most economical bulk packaging method for shipping edible oils. This one-way 23.000 Litre bag can be put into a normal 20 ft container and removed after unloading.
