The exact fatty-acid content, rosin-acid content, colour and iodine value should be based on the TOFA grade you're actually supplying, because these vary substantially between commercial grades.

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.

General In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. 
Inhalation Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, give artificial respiration. If unconscious, place in the recovery position and obtain immediate medical attention. Give nothing by mouth.
Eyes Rinse with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart and seek medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a recognized skin cleanser.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Hazardous decomposition: No hazardous decomposition data available.
Advice for firefighters As with all fires, wear positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus, (SCBA) with a full-face piece and protective clothing. Persons without respiratory protection should leave area. Wear SCBA during clean-up immediately after fire. No smoking.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
Environmental precautions Do not allow spills to enter drains or waterways.

Exposure controls

Respiratory If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit they must use the appropriate, certified respirators.
Eyes Protective safety glasses recommended
Skin Avoid skin contact. Protective gloves recommended.
Engineering Controls Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapor below occupational exposure limits suitable respiratory protection must be worn. 
Other Work Practices Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
