Elaidininzed Rapeseed Oil for Industrial Use from Mexico
Rapeseed oil converted to elaidinized form through partial isomerization, used in non-food industrial applications like lubricants. It matches HTS 1516.20.10.00 exactly as elaidinized vegetable oil from rapeseed, refined or not, without further preparation. The elaidinization process creates trans fats for specific viscosity needs.
