Talloil 2%
What is talloil 2%?
Tall oil 2% is a high-quality raw material originating from the tall oil fatty acid production process, also known as TOFA (Tall Oil Fatty Acids). It is produced by refining and concentrating tall oil, a valuable substance obtained from by-products of the wood processing industry. The origin of tall oil lies in recovered resins and resinous materials derived from the production of wood pulp, typically sourced from pine tree bark.
Tall oil 2% distinguishes itself through its complex composition of fatty acids. It primarily consists of a combination of saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid and stearic acid, alongside unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid. This combination of fatty acids provides a wide range of application possibilities in various industries.

How is tall oil acid made?
The production process of tall oil 2% 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 generated during wood pulp production.
The extraction of tall oil acid occurs 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 acid is increased to the desired level of 2%.
The refining process and the increased concentration of tall oil acid to 2% enable producers to deliver a product that provides consistency and meets the specific requirements of various applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and many other sectors.
