Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA)
Bio-Based Fatty Acid for Coatings, Resins & Industrial Applications
Tall Oil Fatty Acid (TOFA) is a renewable industrial fatty acid derived from crude tall oil, a by-product of the kraft pulping process. Produced from pine wood resources, TOFA is widely used as a cost-effective and sustainable raw material in coatings, adhesives, resins, rubber, and specialty chemical formulations.
As a manufacturer with stable production and export experience, we supply TOFA to international customers seeking consistent quality, reliable supply, and technical transparency.
