component
arising from distillation I think. Different "fractions" vaporise at different temperatures.

I think you are describing a coagulation chain, where all the factors have to be present in order to have a good coagulation (contact with air triggers factor I which triggers factor II, which triggers factor III...). So in my opinion fraction should mean a part (of the coagulation chain).
