Packaging
N/A
Tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) is derived from purified tall oil, which is a by-product of the Kraft process. Tall oil fatty acid is a low-cost and vegetarian lifestyle-friendly used to produce soaps and lubricants. It is also capable of going through chemical reactions to be used as a component in adhesives, varnishes, curing agents, and drilling oils. Tall Oil Fatty Acid Market size is expected to reach nearly US$ 1375.26 Mn. by 2029 with the CAGR of 4.25% during the forecast period.
Crude tall oil is the by-product from the Kraft process, produced by skimming off of soap from the multiple-effect evaporator. The soap collected undergoes acidification to produce crude tall oil. Fractional distillation of crude tall oil produces tall oil rosin. By further reduction of rosin content from 10-35% to 1-10%, Tall Oil Fatty Acid is obtained, consisting mainly of oleic acid.
