Growing applications in adhesives, coatings, and bio-based chemicals, rising demand for sustainable products, and expansion in new regions propelled by green manufacturing trends are some of the potential opportunities in the tall oil rosin market.

Market Overview   

The global commerce, manufacture, and distribution of Tall Oil Rosin (TOR), a bio-based resin derived from tall oil, a byproduct of the kraft pulping process using pine tree leftovers in the paper industry, are all included in the tall oil rosin (TOR) market. Chemically made up of abietic and pimaric acids, TOR is used as a flexible tackifier and softening agent in paints, varnishes, rubber compounding, adhesives, and inks. It is valued for its sustainability and renewable source in the face of increasing environmental requirements. TOR is a flexible raw material used in many industrial applications, such as adhesives, inks, paints, coatings, rubber compounding, and bio-based chemical products. It is mostly made up of resin acids and neutral compounds. For Instance, in September 2022, Ingevity Corporation launched a general price increase for tall oil fatty acids, distilled tall oil products, and rosin-based resins across its industrial specialty’s portfolio, citing market demand and cost pressures. TOR is a renewable by-product of the kraft pulping process and complies with international environmental and regulatory trends. It is a major factor in the growing demand for sustainable and bio-based products in tall oil rosin market.
