Distilled Tall Oil is a mixture of fatty acids, rosin acids and other components. It is obtained from the distillation of Tall Oil, which is a by-product of the Kraft process of pulping coniferous trees for wood pulp manufacture. Â
Distilled Tall Oil is derived from the fractional distillation of Crude Tall Oil under high vacuum. Distilled tall oil appears as a mixture of unsaturated acids: linolic, linolenic and others, as well as of resin acids: abietic, dihydroabietic, palustric and others.
Distilled tall oil is used in metalworking fluids which cool and/or lubricate metal workpieces that may reach high temperatures due to friction. Â Â
