Procedure
FEATURES AND BENEFITS :
It has a low titer value, high acid value, and high flash point.
It has excellent emulsifying properties.
Note
PROPERTIES :
Composition: TOFA is mostly made up of oleic acid, but also contains palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and conjugated linoleic acid.
Color: TOFA is a light yellow liquid.
Cost: TOFA is a cost-effective source of fatty acid.
Oxidation resistance: TOFA has excellent oxidation resistance and color stability because it contains a low percentage of polyunsaturated acids.
Emulsifying properties: TOFA is used as an emulsifier or surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products.
Flash point: TOFA has a high flash point.
Safety: TOFA is not considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.
