1. Product Introduction
Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA)
CAS NO. 61790-12-3
Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) also known as liquid rosin or tallol, is a low cost, viscous yellow-black odorous liquid chemical compound that is a product of crude tall oil vacuum distillation. It is a member of the product family Oleic Acid. Tall oil fatty acids are sold in markets that use them in raw form and as precursors to synthesize an array of products. TOFA derivatives include dimers, alkyds, PVC stabilizers, synthetic lubricant polyamides, and a variety of oilfield chemicals
