Pamolyn™ 210 linoleic acid is a high purity grade of linoleic acid derived wholly from a tall oil fatty acid source. It is a pale, oily liquid with low odor, and is highly resistant to discoloration on exposure to heat and light. Because of the near absence of saturated fatty acids, this product has exceptionally low titer. Pamolyn™ 210 linoleic acid contains a low percentage of unsaponifiables and resin acids. Pamolyn™ 210 linoleic acid is designed especially for the protective coatings industry for production of pale, color retentive, fast drying alkyds and epoxy resin ester coatings. Other uses for this linoleic acid are in applications that require both wetting and drying properties, such as printing ink vehicles and caulking and sealant compositions.
