Product handling
Crude Tall Oil should be delivered at around 60 °C and the recommended
minimum storage temperature is 40 °C. If Crude Tall Oil is subjected to cold
temperatures during storage or transportation it may become viscous or show
some precipitation or crystallization. This is a normal characteristic and
not a defect. If affected the material should be gently heated to max. 75 °C
and circulated or agitated to restore the original condition. |
Delivery form
Bulk liquid in road tanker, rail tank wagon or ISO-container.
