SYLFAT FA-2
Tall Oil Fatty Acid
61790-12-3
SYLFAT FA2 Tall Oil Fatty Acid was the first tall oil fatty acid on the market with less
than 2% rosin acids content.
SYLFAT FA2 continues to be accepted as the industry's multiuse standard.
The utility of tall oil fatty acid can be found in the long carbon chain (C18),acid function of the carboxyl group (-COOH), or unsaturation of the double bonds.
SYLFAT FA2 is a fatty acid, which provides a combination of light color, exceptional color stability,and good air-drying characteristics.
This fatty acid, because of its higher degree of unsaturation compared to soybean-derived fatty acids, is an excellent intermediate fatty acid for the manufacture of dimer acids.
The light color and low rosin content of SYLFAT FA2 make it suitable for the production of surfactants.
Overall, SYLFAT FA2 provides better properties to alkyd resins than soybean or linseed-derived fatty acids. For these reasons,SYLFAT FA2 has found use in the areas of: specialty industrial and household cleaners, plasticizers for rubber products, alkyd resins, and textiles.
