Tall Oil Fatty Acid is a naturally derived mixture of fatty acids obtained as a by-product of the kraft pulping process of pine wood. It is classified as a UVCB substance due to its variable composition, which typically includes oleic acid, linoleic acid, and rosin acids. TOFA is widely used in industrial applications for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and lubricating properties. It serves as a key raw material in the production of alkyd resins, metalworking fluids, adhesives, and coatings. In the chemical industry, it is valued for its biodegradability and compatibility with bio-based formulations. Its versatility also extends to the textile, rubber, and construction sectors, where it contributes to performance and sustainability in various formulations.
