Tall Oil Fatty Acid
Excellent versatility as a chemical intermediate and is widely used in alkyd resins, paints and coatings, lubricants, metalworking fluids, corrosion inhibitors, emulsifiers, surfactants and oilfield chemical formulations.
Application & Uses
Alkyd Resin Raw Material, Paint Resin Raw Material, Coating Raw Material, Lubricant Raw Material, Metalworking Fluid Raw Material, Corrosion Inhibitor Raw Material, Emulsifier Raw Material, Surfactant Raw Material, Oilfield Chemical Raw Material, Fatty Acid for Industrial Formulation
Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) used as an industrial raw material for alkyd resins, coatings, lubricants, metalworking fluids, soaps, surfactants, mining chemicals and oilfield formulations.
Tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) is a low cost unsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid) and is a source of low boiling point fatty acids widly used in synthetic lubricants industry. Which have light in color and low in rosin, is a consistent, cost-effective, source of liquid fatty acid.
