Tall Oil Fatty Acid, commonly referred to as TOFA, is a fatty acid mixture derived from crude tall oil and used as a raw material and chemical intermediate across a wide range of industrial applications.
TOFA is typically sold in liquid bulk, but is also available in totes (IBC tanks), and drums. Special packaging is available on request. Contact us (401) 423-3100 or request a quote.
Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA), also known as liquid rosin or tallol, is a viscous, yellow to dark-colored liquid produced through the vacuum distillation of crude tall oil. Crude tall oil is a by-product generated during the pulping of pine trees. TOFA is part of the oleic acid product family and is supplied for use both in raw form and as a precursor for downstream chemical synthesis.
Tall oil fatty acids are used to produce a broad range of derivative products, including dimer acids, alkyd resins, PVC stabilizers, synthetic lubricant polyamides, and various oilfield and specialty chemical formulations. Certain grades, including low-sulfur TOFA, are specified for fuel-related applications such as diesel fuel additives.
