Fatty acids, notably versatile raw materials, derive from a variety of natural sources. Each contributes unique properties to their industrial applications. For example, vegetable oils, like those extracted from soy, Sunflower and Palma, offer a rich source of fatty acids. They have different degrees of unsaturation, suitable for a wide range of products.
Additionally, animal fats provide saturated fatty acids. They are essential in the production of soaps and lubricants. However, Pinus wood stands out as a sustainable and renewable source. Mainly, Cellulose production uses Pinus, where your by -products are efficiently used.
The pulp industry, When processing the pine, generates the “tall oil” raw (CTO). This resin liquid produces the fatty acids of Tall Oil (SPIT) after refinement. Like this, This production route diversifies the sources of fatty acids. It offers an ecologically correct alternative, Taking advantage of an industrial byproduct.
The, with its unique composition and superior performance characteristics, Find resin applications, lubricants and many other products. Therefore, It demonstrates the versatility and importance of fatty acids in modern industry.
Tofa Advantages
The, Sustainable by -product of the Papeleira Industry, offers unique advantages. In fact, its characteristics differentiate it from conventional fatty acids.
- Superior resin performance: Drying occurs faster. Resistance to weathering in resin formulations increases.
- Source not feed: Pinus wood guarantees production. Consequently, There is no competition with the global food chain.
- Transgenic: Production does not use genetically modified organisms.
- 100% renewable: Natural and sustainable sources guarantee production.
Industrial applications
Fatty acids, including the tofa, play an essential role in various segments. For example, Alchidical and polyamid resins are produced, industrial lubricants and fuel additives. Additionally, plasticizers, PVC stabilizers and mining inputs also use fatty acids.
Barentz distributes Kraton's Tall Oil fatty acids (USA). Kraton is the world's largest producer of this raw material. Sylfat © and Sylvatal products are internationally recognized for their quality.
