Industrial Oleochemical Products

Industrial Oleochemical Products (IOP) manufactures a range of fatty acids, rosin and rosin derivatives using by-products from paper pulp and vegetable-based
crops as raw materials. Fatty acids are sold predominantly into the mining, rubber, paint and coatings industries whilst rosin and its derivatives are used in the paper, adhesives, bitumen as well as the rubber industries. Mining is a key industry for IOP and the focus is on industrial minerals and base metals.

Tall oil rosin and gum rosin, as well as a selection of rosin derivatives, are produced for the manufacture of paper-size, adhesive tackifiers, as well as synthetic
rubber and bitumen emulsifiers. In addition, IOP’s range of refined and modified vegetable oils and fatty acids are used in alkyd resin manufacture and other coating applications. IOP also manufactures an extensive range of food grade packaging coatings under licence to Akzo Nobel.
