UCY-TF2 (tall oil fatty acid)
Product Datasheet
Item number:
10-006
General Information
UCY-TF2
is characterized as a tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) with high fatty
acid content and low content of rosin acids and unsaponifiables. The light
colour together with excellent colour stability and air drying propeties are
derived from its origin, the northern pine.
The superior chemical reactivity of UCY-TF2 is due to its
long carbon chain (C18), the acid function of carboxyl group (-COOH) and the
unsaturation of the double bonds. That is why UCY-TF2 is an excellent raw
material for alkyd resins, dimer acids, fa-esters, fa-soaps, faethoxylates, fa-amines
and many other chemicals.

Product handling
UCY-TF2
should be delivered at around 20 °C and the recommended minimum storage
temperature is 15 °C. If UCY-TF2 is subjected to cold temperatures
during storage or transportation it may become cloudy or show some
precipitation. This is a normal characteristic and not a defect. If
affected, the material should be gently heated to max. 30 °C and circulated
or agitated to restore the clear and bright condition. |
Delivery form
Liquid in road tanker, rail tank wagon, ISO-container, flexitank,
IBC-container or 188 kgs net in steel drums.
Disclaimer:
In all applications of UCY-TF2 it is the sole
responsibility of the buyer to respect and comply with any valid
intellectual property rights of third parties. |
