Tall oil 10%
What is tall oil 10%?
Tallolie 10% is een hoogwaardige grondstof die voortkomt uit het proces van talloliezuur productie, ook bekend als TOFA (Tall Oil Fatty Acids). Het wordt geproduceerd door het verfijnen en concentreren van tallolie, een waardevolle substantie verkregen uit de bijproducten van de houtverwerkingsindustrie. De oorsprong van tallolie ligt in de teruggewonnen harsen en harsachtige materialen die voortkomen uit de productie van houtpulp, meestal afkomstig van dennenboomschors.
Tallolie 10% onderscheidt zich door zijn complexe samenstelling van vetzuren. Het bestaat voornamelijk uit een combinatie van verzadigde vetzuren zoals palmitinezuur en stearinezuur, naast onverzadigde vetzuren zoals oliezuur en linolzuur. Deze combinatie van vetzuren biedt een breed scala aan toepassingsmogelijkheden in diverse industrieën.

Different types of tall oil
At Chempri, we offer four variants of tall oil: tall oil 2%, tall oil 10%, tall oil 20%, and tall oil 25%. The difference between these products lies in the percentage of tall oil fatty acid present in the oil. The percentage indicates the amount of tall oil fatty acid in each variant. In general, as the percentage of tall oil fatty acid increases, the specific application possibilities and the impact of the product on certain properties in various industries change. Selecting the right type of tall oil depends on the specific requirements of the application for which it is used.
How is tall oil acid made?
The production process of tall oil 10% is a meticulous journey that begins with the extraction of tall oil acid from crude tall oil. This crude tall oil is obtained from recovered resins and woody by-products that arise during wood pulp production.
The extraction of tall oil acid is carried out through a careful process that selects raw materials with the highest content of this acid. This crude oil, rich in tall oil acid, then undergoes a refining process. This involves various separation and purification processes, such as distillation and fractionation. Through these processes, the percentage of tall oil fatty acid is increased to the desired level of 10%.
The refining process and the increased concentration of tall oil fatty acid to 10% enable producers to deliver a product that provides consistency and meets the specific requirements of various applications in the chemical and many other sectors.
The function of tall oil 10%
TOFA, or tall oil fatty acid, distinguishes itself through its versatile properties and rich composition of fatty acids. The high content of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids makes tall oil 10% a valuable and versatile substance for various sectors.
One of the most notable features of tall oil 10% is its ability to serve as a crucial building block in the production of a diverse range of products. It is often used as a primary raw material for the manufacture of soaps, thanks to its ability to enhance cleaning and foaming properties. Additionally, tall oil 10% is employed in lubricants, where it enhances the durability and lubricating properties of products.
