How is Butyl Tallate made?
The production of Butyl Tallate begins with the esterification of tall oil fatty acids, which are byproducts of the paper industry, with butanol. This process results in a stable and highly spreadable oil with high oxidative stability. After esterification, the oil is filtered and purified to meet quality standards for various applications.
