Low Free Fatty Acid Content
Grade A has the lowest specified free fatty acid limit among the seven Neatsfoot Oil grades, distinguishing it from other products in the portfolio.
Neatsfoot Oil
NFO Neats Grade A is an animal-derived neatsfoot oil distinguished by its low free fatty acid specification. Developed for leather treatment and industrial oil formulations, it offers manufacturers a defined raw material option for applications requiring controlled acidity and the non-drying characteristics of neatsfoot oil.

Product overview
NFO Neats Grade A represents a lower-acidity option within
the Neatsfoot Oil portfolio, serving manufacturers seeking specific material
characteristics for leather processing and industrial formulations.
Neatsfoot oils play an important role in restoring the
natural oil content removed from hides during tanning. Their non-drying nature
helps maintain leather softness and prevents hardening or embrittlement during
aging.
The Neatsfoot Oil family also serves as a raw material
source for industrial lubricants and textile oils. Neats Grade A provides
manufacturers with an additional grade for evaluating material requirements
across these applications.
Performance profile
Core characteristics configured for this product by our technical team.
Grade A has the lowest specified free fatty acid limit among the seven Neatsfoot Oil grades, distinguishing it from other products in the portfolio.
Neatsfoot oil possesses non-drying characteristics that help prevent hardening and embrittlement of treated leather during aging.
Neatsfoot oils are used in sulfonated formulations to produce fine-particle emulsions that penetrate leather during treatment.
Why it works
The lower free fatty acid specification provides a defined raw material option for manufacturers prioritizing acidity in material selection.
Neatsfoot oil helps restore oil content during leather treatment, supporting softness and reducing hardening as leather ages.
