RBD Palm Olein CP8 / CP10

CP8 & CP10 fractions from Malaysia & Indonesia

Palm olein is the liquid fraction of RBD palm oil, and the number that names it is the cloud point: CP8 clouds at 8 °C, CP10 at 10 °C. That single figure is the whole commercial distinction. CP8 is the more heavily fractionated, more expensive grade with a higher iodine value (typically ≥ 58) and it stays liquid further down the thermometer — you specify it for warehousing and retail bottling in cooler climates, for winter shipping, and for any destination where the customer will see the bottle before the fryer does. CP10 is the workhorse for tropical and consistently warm markets and for industrial frying, where the oil never approaches its cloud point and the buyer is paying only for fry performance. Alongside cloud point, contracts are written on FFA as palmitic at ≤ 0.1%, moisture and impurities ≤ 0.1%, Lovibond colour ≤ 3.0 red in a 5¼-inch cell, and peroxide value ≤ 5 meq/kg at loading. Melting point and slip point are checked where the buyer is blending into shortening or margarine.

Choose palm olein over refined sunflower or soybean oil when frying performance and cost per tonne drive the decision: its saturated profile and low iodine value give it excellent oxidative stability and fry life at a price that sits below both sibling oils, which is why it dominates commercial frying, instant noodles, snack coatings and biscuit fats. Choose against it when the oil must stay clear in a chilled or temperate environment — below its cloud point it goes hazy and then semi-solid, and no amount of explaining fixes a cloudy retail bottle. Supply is arranged from Malaysian and Indonesian origin in 24 MT flexitanks, ISO tanks, drums and 1L/5L PET, with COA and SGS or Intertek certification of cloud point, FFA, colour, peroxide, moisture and impurities plus Halal and phytosanitary documentation, on FOB, CFR and CIF terms.
