Product handling

Crude Tall Oil should be delivered at around 60 °C and the recommended minimum storage temperature is 40 °C. If Crude Tall Oil is subjected to cold temperatures during storage or transportation it may become viscous or show some precipitation or crystallization. This is a normal characteristic and not a defect. If affected the material should be gently heated to max. 75 °C and circulated or agitated to restore the original condition.

Delivery form

Bulk liquid in road tanker, rail tank wagon or ISO-container.
