If they are fats, why do they not convert in the process? If it's that we have a conversion of 99.XX% with the unconverted not detected by 10/90 there's no reason why it would all have a high melting point unless the following is the case:1. There is oil present in the bio, which doesn't show up - but this stuff does due to it's higher melting point2. Or if the fats are less likely or harder to reach 100% conversion (so if you have 95% oil for example and 5% fats in your feedstock, all of the oil goes over but only a % of the fats.As Paul says it could be Mono's... If mono's do they have properties that would mean higher melting points.Another question for consideration is... Are all of what we're referring to as HMPE's or waxing stuff, always the same or could there be a number of elements that appear to have the same properties.Too many questions!
