Kraton Corporation’s Sylfat®and Century® fatty acids are useful in a

wide range of industrial applications. These fatty acids (tall oil fatty

acid, monomer acid, stearic acid and isostearic acid) each have

unique degrees of unsaturation and fatty acid distribution, making

one of them suitable for almost any application where C18 fatty

acids are required.

As the world’s largest biore�ner of Crude Tall Oil, Kraton Corporation

is in a unique position to secure its primary feedstock. Kraton has

developed secure supplier relationships over time, ensuring an unin-

terrupted supply of Crude Tall Oil, and thus the ability to reliably

supply our global customer base with the required fatty acid product.

Fatty acid product guide

Did you know• Kraton Corporation's Sylfat® and Century® product lines are made from raw materials that are

primarily obtained from renewable forests, and thus contain 100% BRC (Bio-renewable content). The BRC for alternative petroleum-based technologies typically ranges from 20%-60%. And, while some edible oils-based competitors claim 100% BRC, the fact is there are climate change and carbon footprint disad vantages inherent in food-based materials.

• Did you know that Kraton has set Energy Reduction Goals targeting 5% per year through 2015?This is in North America alone!

When Sylfat® fatty acids are reacted with anhydrides and polyols, polyesters suitable for all threecoating types (long, medium & short) can be produced. In applications where color is importantSylfat FA1 Special or Sylfat FA2 are suggested.

Application DescriptionThe functionality of the carboxylic group of the fatty acids can be reacted with amines to formnew amines or amides as well as imidazolines. This same functional group is readily reactedwith mono-, di-, and poly alcohols to form esters o�ering unique properties. The sites ofunsaturation in the backbone of the carbon chain can be utilized in Diels- Alder reactions.Dimer acids can be produced from tall oil fatty acid either thermally or catalytically.

Amine salts of TOFA and fatty esters are used in metal working �uid formulations, particularly inemulsions. Color sensitive applications may be formulated with Sylfat FA2 or FA1 Special.

Asphalt emulsions are classified based on their ionic charge; anionic, cationic and nonionic.

Anionic and cationic are commonly used in roadway construction and maintenance. Anionic emul-

sions are usually TOFA sodium or potassium salts. Cationic emulsions can be made when using

TOFA amines reacted with acrylonitrile to form diamines. The TOFA salt functions as a surfactant to

disperse the asphalt in the water.

Asphalt Emulsions

Epoxy ester resins are widely used as coating materials and structural materials because of their

chemical and water resistance and mechanical properties. They are usually produced by esterifying

an epoxy compound with an unsaturated carboxylic acid in the presence of a catalyst and can be

combined with additional compounds to impart specific properties.

Epoxy Ester Resins

Methyl esters of TOFA provide lubricity to low sulfur fuels which reduces the wear of mechanical

parts in the fuel delivery system. Sylfat 2 or FA2 is preferred for fuel additive applications due to

lubricity requirements.

Fuel Additives

Lubricants typically are formulated to include additives performing special functions such as rust

inhibitors, anti-wear agents, friction modifiers, and gelling agents.

Rust Inhibitors – Long chain amines Anti-wear Agents – Sulfurized fatsFriction Modifiers – fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty amines and amides

These same additives are also applicable to grease.

Lubricant Additives

TOFA derivatives are used as plasticizers in rubber to aid in compounding. An example is

TOFA derivatized with a poly alcohol can be used as a plasticizer for rubber to prevent the

build up of electrostatic charges. TOFA, TOFA amides, and TOFA metallic salts can be

used as release aids.

Plasticizers for Rubber

Fatty acid esters with various mono-alcohols are used as ink solvents in lithographic printing

inks and press washes. These esters are used as solvents to formulate other cleaning fluids, as

well as in the production of sand castings. Fatty acid esters with diols or polyols can be used as

plasticizers in a variety of applications.

Fatty Acid use in mining includes functions such as flotation reagents, frothers, and defoamers.

The grade required is dependant on the intended use, the ore being processed, and the quality

of the ore.

Mineral Processing

TOFA finds utility as a component in drilling mud applications. TOFA derivatives such as amines and

imidazolines commonly function as a corrosion inhibitor. The higher rosin grades are typically used.

Oilfield Chemicals

Soaps may be made from any of the Sylfat® or Century® products alone or in combination

with distilled tall oils or rosins. Uses of Arizona derived soaps cover; general industrial cleaning,

solvent removal and applications in waterless hand cleaners.

Specialty Industrial and Household Cleaners
