Pamolyn™ 240 fatty acid is a linoleic acid-rich blend 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 an exceptionally low titer. Pamolyn™ 240 fatty acid contains a low percentage of unsaponifiables and resin acids. Pamolyn™ 240 fatty 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 include applications that require both wetting and drying properties, such as printing ink vehicles and caulking and sealant compositions.
