Palm Oil CP8
Palm Oil CP8 (RBD Palm Olein CP8) is the liquid fraction of refined, bleached and deodorised palm oil, with a low cloud point suited to cooler-temperature handling. France AJ Group Ltd (UK) is a bulk Palm Oil CP8 supplier serving refineries, food manufacturers, frying operations, distributors and commercial buyers worldwide, shipped in flexitank, flexibag, ISO tank and bulk tanker/vessel by the full container load. Other packaging formats can be arranged on request. The grade, cloud point and full analysis are confirmed on the certificate of analysis (COA) issued with each shipment.
CP8 Explained: Cloud Point and Why It Matters
Palm oil is fractionated into a solid part (stearin) and a liquid part (olein). Olein is graded by cloud point — the temperature at which fat crystals begin to form and the oil starts to appear cloudy. CP8 generally refers to RBD Palm Olein with a cloud point of 8°C maximum under the agreed test method. This low cloud point means the oil stays clear and pourable at cooler temperatures, which can suit buyers in cooler climates, cold-store handling or applications where low-temperature clarity is important. Cloud point indicates low-temperature behaviour; frying stability is a separate property that depends on the oil's fatty-acid composition, quality and operating conditions. The cloud point is one of the most important figures to confirm on the COA before you contract.
Bulk Shipping: Flexitank, ISO Tank and Vessel
CP8 is supplied primarily as a bulk liquid rather than in retail bottles, which suits refineries and large-scale manufacturers taking full-container or vessel volumes. Flexitank lines a standard 20ft container for single-use bulk shipment; flexibag offers a similar bulk option; ISO tanks provide reusable, temperature-tolerant bulk transport; and bulk tanker or vessel parcels serve the largest volumes. Bottled or drummed formats can also be arranged on request. The right mode depends on your port facilities, discharge capability and volume — specify these at enquiry so loading can be planned correctly.

Is CP8 the Right Grade for You?
CP8, at a cloud point of 8°C maximum, is specified where the oil must remain clear at cooler temperatures — for example in cooler storage conditions, cold-chain handling, or where downstream processing runs below ambient. It is a refined RBD palm olein, so the grade you contract should match your climate, storage and process requirements. If you are unsure which cloud-point grade fits your operation, our sales team can advise based on your destination and application.
Applications
Sector | Use Case | Why CP8 |
|---|---|---|
Refineries | Feedstock and blending base | Bulk liquid supply; low FFA at load |
Commercial frying | Continuous and batch frying | Oxidative stability at high heat |
Food manufacturing | Processed foods, blends and fat phases | Consistent refined input at volume |
Cooler-climate markets | Storage and handling below ambient | Low cloud point keeps oil clear |
Snack production | Fried and coated snacks | Neutral-to-mild flavour profile |
Sustainability and RSPO
Palm sourcing carries scrutiny that other oils do not, so certification matters to many buyers and their own downstream customers. RSPO-certified supply may be available subject to the selected producer, refinery, supply-chain model and contract. Buyers should specify their required RSPO model before quotation, alongside any Halal, Kosher, HACCP or ISO requirement, so it can be confirmed against the shipment.
Loading and Storage
Bulk modes: flexitank, flexibag, ISO tank and bulk tanker/vessel; other packaging formats on request
Loading: approximately 24–27 MT per container on request; exact net quantity is confirmed according to packaging, container type and legal payload limits. MOQ is one full container load
Monthly supply contracts: available for buyers with recurring bulk requirements
Storage: at or below its cloud point the oil may partially solidify. It normally clears again after controlled warming, provided it has been stored and handled correctly. Keep cool and dry, out of direct sunlight, and sealed to protect against oxidation and odour pickup

Frequently Asked Questions
What does CP8 mean in palm oil?
CP8 generally refers to RBD Palm Olein with a cloud point of 8°C maximum under the agreed test method — the temperature at which the oil may begin to appear cloudy as fat crystals form.What is the difference between palm olein and palm stearin?
Olein is the liquid fraction of palm oil and stearin is the solid fraction. CP8 olein is used as a frying and cooking oil; stearin is used where a harder fat is needed.How is Palm Oil CP8 shipped?
Primarily as bulk liquid — flexitank, flexibag, ISO tank or bulk tanker/vessel — by the full container load. Other packaging formats can be arranged on request.What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is one full container load. The exact net weight is confirmed according to the packaging format, container type and payload limits.Do you offer monthly supply contracts?
Yes, monthly supply contracts are available for buyers with recurring bulk requirements. Contact our sales team to discuss terms.Is RSPO-certified supply available?
RSPO-certified supply may be available subject to the selected producer, refinery, supply-chain model and contract. Specify your required RSPO model before quotation.What payment and Incoterms do you accept?
FOB or CIF; payment by TT, LC, DLC or SBLC, subject to contract approval. Contact our sales team to confirm before issuing a purchase order.How can buyers conduct supplier due diligence?
Buyers may verify our UK company registration, review the commercial offer and contract, confirm that the beneficiary bank account matches the contracting entity, request available specifications and certificates, and arrange independent inspection where agreed.
