What Does TOFA Stand For?

TOFA stands for Tall Oil Fatty Acids

TOFA, or Tall Oil Fatty Acids, refers to a mixture of fatty acids derived from the processing of tall oil, a byproduct of wood pulping in the paper industry. These fatty acids are primarily used in the production of soaps, detergents, and surfactants, as well as in the formulation of lubricants and various industrial applications. TOFA is valued for its versatility and biodegradability, making it an important component in the development of sustainable products.
