Physical and Chemical Properties | Tall oil fatty acid is a low cost unsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid) which is a mixture of oleic acid, linoleic acid and its isomers. Insoluble in water, soluble in ether, ethanol; Can react with alkali, can also occur alcoholization, ammonia (amine) reaction. Its low boiling point characteristics are mainly used in the field of synthetic lubricating oil production. |
Use | Tall oil fatty acid derived from pine oil, the main component of oleic acid, linoleic acid and its isomer mixture, and contains a small amount of rosin acid and unsaponifiable matter. Alcoholization, ammonia (amine) reaction can occur. |
