4. Ancient History of Oleochemicals

8. Recently

11. They are analogous to petrochemicals derived from
petroleum.

12.  As the price of crude oil rose in the late 1970s,
manufacturers switched from petrochemicals to
oleochemicals because plant-based lauric oils
processed from palm kernel oil were cheaper.
 Since then, palm kernel oil is predominantly used
in the production of laundry detergent and
personal care items like toothpaste, soap bars,
shower cream and shampoo.
 A short History of Oleochemicals

13.  Southeast Asian countries' rapid production
growth of palm oil and palm kernel oil in the
1980s spurred the oleochemical industry in
Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Many
oleochemical plants were built.
 Since the Europe outbreak of 'mad cow disease'
or (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) in 2000,
tallow is replaced for many uses by vegetable
oleic fatty acids such as palm kernel and coconut
oils.

15.  Raw Materials Resources
