Tall Oil Fatty Acid Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- TOFA
- Distilled Tall Oil Fatty Acid
- DTO Fatty Acid
- Tall Oil Fatty Acids
Tall oil fatty acid is a liquid fatty-acid fraction recovered by fractional distillation of crude tall oil, a by-product of kraft wood pulping. Known in trade as TOFA, it is specified by industrial buyers as a distinct feedstock rather than as crude tall oil or tall oil rosin.
Distilled tall oil fatty acid grades are selected by residual rosin-acid content, fatty-acid profile and colour. Standard, low-rosin and oleic-rich grades can be considered against the buyer's stated limits without treating a blended distilled tall oil fraction as the same product.
Tall oil fatty acid is used in alkyd resins and coatings, dimer-acid and polyamide production, metalworking fluids, corrosion-inhibitor formulations, flotation collectors, oilfield chemicals, soaps, emulsifiers, lubricant additives and rubber processing.
For a tall oil fatty acid supplier Malaysia enquiry, send the required grade, composition or colour limits, quantity and delivery location. TOFA availability, packing, documentation, price and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Tall Oil Fatty Acid applications
Common questions about tall oil fatty acid
What is tall oil fatty acid?
Tall oil fatty acid, or TOFA, is the fatty-acid fraction recovered through fractional distillation of crude tall oil. Commercial grades are selected by factors such as residual rosin-acid content, fatty-acid profile and colour.
Is tall oil fatty acid the same as tall oil rosin?
No. TOFA is the fatty-acid fraction, while tall oil rosin is a separate rosin-rich fraction. Crude tall oil and blended distilled tall oil fractions also remain outside the identity of this product page.
Which TOFA grade should I request?
State the application and required residual rosin-acid, fatty-acid profile and colour limits. Standard, low-rosin and oleic-rich TOFA enquiries can then be matched against the requested formulation criteria.
What applications commonly specify tall oil fatty acid?
Buyers use TOFA in alkyd resins and coatings, dimer-acid and polyamide manufacture, metalworking fluids, flotation collectors, lubricant additives, soaps, emulsifiers and selected oilfield formulations.
What is needed for a tall oil fatty acid quotation?
Send the grade or composition limits, quantity, delivery location and any required technical or safety documents. Availability, packing and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
