Application
Tall Oil Fatty Acid, or TOFA, is a viscous liquid that has a slightly yellow tint. A source of low boiling point fatty acid, it is widely used in the production of synthetic lubrication and will have different uses depending on the percentage of Rosin in the TOFA. Rosin is the solid form of resin obtained from plants and when heated can be used as an ingredient in printing inks, soaps and sealing waxes. TOFA can also be used in a multitude of other applications like in rubbers, inks and many times used as an emulsifier. Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) is also used in metalworking fluids, industrial cleaners, lubricant esters, alkyd resins, and dimer acids.
