Distilled Tall Oil (DTO) is a refined derivative obtained by distilling crude tall oil, a byproduct of the Kraft pulping process of coniferous trees. This distillation removes volatile components and impurities, resulting in a light amber, high-purity oil with a balanced composition of fatty acids and rosin acids. DTO's improved consistency and refined properties make it an attractive renewable feedstock in various industrial applications.
Distilled Tall Oil (DTO) improved solubility in a variety of solvents and enhances its reactivity in industrial formulations. DTO is is commonly used in:
Adhesives & Sealants:
Improves adhesion and tack, contributing to robust and durable bonding in various adhesive formulations.
Coatings & Printing Inks:
Its refined properties enhance film formation, gloss, and drying characteristics, making it ideal for high-performance coatings and inks.
Chemical Intermediates:
Its serves as a renewable feedstock for synthesizing tall oil derivatives and specialty chemicals, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
Biofuels & Lubricants:
With its consistent quality and renewable origin, DTO is used in the production of eco-friendly biofuels and lubricants, promoting environmental sustainability.
