Description:

Tall oil, alsoknown as 'tallol' or 'liquid resin', has three major components: resin acids,fatty acids and unsaponifiables (also known as "neutral compounds"). Talloil is a mixture of mainly acidic compounds found, like turpentine, in pinetrees and obtained as a by-product of the pulp and paper industry. It is usedas a resin in manydifferent industries, including mining, paper manufacture,paint manufacture and synthetic rubber manufacture. Tall oil is one of the twocommercially important by-products of the paper making process, the other beingturpentine. It is produced by coniferous trees, and put to a widevariety of enduses. In the fuel crisis much research was done into the use of tall oil asanalternative fuel, and hormones were developed that made young trees produce 5to 10 timestheir normal tall oil yield.

Tall oil, aby-product of kraft pulping of pine wood, is formed by acidifying black liquorsoap skimmings. It consists of resin acids or rosin, fatty acids, and neutrals.Crude tall oil is an excellent source of rosin and tall oil fatty acid, anindustrial-grade oleic and linoleic acid blend. The bulk of the neutrals,largely esters of fatty acids, sterols, resin and wax alcohols, andhydrocarbons, boil at either lower or higher temperatures than the boilingrange of the fatty and resin acids.
