SYLFAT™ 2 Tall Oil Fatty Acids (TOFA)*

SYLFAT™ 2 Tall Oil Fatty Acids (TOFA)* Higher Hardness, Faster Drying and Lasting Quality SYLFAT™ 2 Tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) enables alkyd binder and paint formulators to achieve faster drying and early hardness development in coating applications. The shortened hardness development time provides resistance to scratching and corrosion for lasting quality. SYLFAT™ 2 provides high gloss performance in solvent-based alkyds and water-based alkyd emulsions. Combined with light color, good color stability and air-drying properties, TOFA delivers high product consistency and lasting aesthetics.

Bio-based

One hundred percent bio-based SYLFAT™ 2 TOFA has a very low carbon footprint. It enables alkyd binder formulators to achieve significantly lower carbon emissions and paint manufacturers to develop more sustainable, low carbon footprint and high-performance products. SYLFAT™ 2 TOFA is of European origin, particularly Scandinavian. The final hardness degree achieved with SYLFAT™ 2 TOFA—in long oil alkyd paint—is superior compared to hardness performance of different paint formulations achieved with sunflower fatty acid (SFFA) and soybean fatty acid (SOFA).  

Benefits Offered

• Exceptional surface properties, • Fast hardness development, • High initial gloss and good gloss retention, • Fast drying, • High productivity and low cycle time, • Low carbon footprint, • 100% bio-based.

Paint Applications

SYLFAT™ 2 TOFA is suitable for use in various paint systems including different binder systems (alkyd and alkyd-modified) and paint systems containing surface active agents. • Architectural and decorative, • Automotive and transportation, • Industrial, marine and yachting sectors. *KRATON, SYLFAT™ 2 TALL OIL FATTY ACID, adapted from the brochure to Turkish.
