What are Tall Oil Fatty Acids 185 (TOFA) and where are they used?
TOFA 185 (CAS 61790-12-3) is a high-purity bio-based mixture composed mainly of C18 fatty acids. It is a light yellow to amber liquid with an acid value of min 185, an iodine value of min 150, a rosin acid content of max 2% and unsaponifiables of max 4%. It is used in alkyd resins and oil-modified polymers, metalworking fluids and lubricant esters, dimer acid and polyamide production, adhesives, printing inks, industrial soaps and fuel additives.
How are TOFA 185 packaged and is stock available?
It ships as bulk liquid in 20-22 MT net ISO tank containers in carbon steel or stainless steel tanks. KORKİMYA holds local stock in Istanbul and delivers fast from stock without depending on imports from China. Shelf life is 12 months, extendable to 24 months with controlled quality monitoring.
Are TOFA 185 KKDIK registered and is an SDS provided?
Yes. The product is registered under KKDIK (Turkey REACH) and is supplied with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). A certificate of analysis (CoA) and technical data sheet (TDS) are provided by KORKİMYA on request.
What is the difference between TOFA 185 and TOFA 180, and how do I get a sample?
TOFA 185 is a purer grade than TOFA 180, with a higher acid value (min 185) and lower rosin acid (max 2%), so it is preferred for demanding applications such as alkyd resins, dimer acid and inks. KORKİMYA offers a free sample and a current price quote, delivered from local stock.
