Description

Tall Oil CAS NO 8002-26-4 is a natural, viscous by-product of the kraft pulping process, consisting primarily of a complex mixture of fatty acids and rosin acids. This versatile oleoresin is valued for its cost-effectiveness and renewable origin, serving as a crucial raw material for numerous industrial chemical syntheses. It is essential for manufacturers in the adhesives, coatings, ink, and surfactant industries seeking sustainable and high-performance bio-based intermediates.

Application

• Production of tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) and distilled tall oil (DTO) for use in alkyd resins and coatings.
• Key feedstock for manufacturing dimers, polyamides, and epoxy curing agents in the adhesives sector.
• Raw material for soaps, emulsifiers, and flotation agents in various industrial processes.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of lubricant additives and metalworking fluids.
• Component in asphalt emulsions and road construction chemicals.
• Used in the production of printing inks and paper sizing agents.

Quality Control

Our Tall Oil is produced and controlled under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Key parameters such as acid value, rosin acid content, fatty acid content, and saponification value are rigorously tested. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
