Technical Document
Distilled Tall Oil (DTO) is a refined derivative obtained by distilling crude tall oil, a byproduct of the Kraft pulping process of coniferous trees. This distillation removes volatile components and impurities, resulting in a light amber, high-purity oil with a balanced composition of fatty acids and rosin acids. DTO's improved consistency and refined properties make it an attractive renewable feedstock in various industrial applications.
