Specialty Chemicals

ALTAPYNE L-1 is a bio-based, light-colored tall oil fatty acid containing a low level of rosin acids. It is an excellent raw material for the production of alkyd resins and highquality specialty industrial chemicals such as dimer acids, epoxidized tallate esters, and fatty acid esters.

ALTAPYNE L-1A is a 100% biobased liquid pale tall oil fatty acid containing less than 1% rosin acids. It is used in applications where light color and low rosin acid content are critical. ALTAPYNE L-1A is an excellent raw material for dimers, alkyds, and epoxidized tallate esters. It can replace oleic acid in certain applications, such as liquid soaps, fatty alcohols, amides, nitriles, and formulations where a low titer, unsaturated fatty acid is required.

ALTAPYNE 128 is a fatty acid product containing mainly palmitic, elaidic, stearic, and oleic acids. It is the distilled monomer acid stream resulting from dimer acid production. It is currently used to make amine condensates, esters, defoamers and blended fatty acid products.

REAX 105M is a highly sulfonated kraft lignin dispersant featuring a low level of free electrolyte. It is used as a dispersant in dry and water-based formulations of agricultural chemicals and is especially useful in water dispersible granules made by extrusion, spray drying, and fluid bed agglomeration.
