FORCHEM PRODUCTS SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATION INSIGHTS CONTACT EN FI We create sustainable alternatives for non-renewable ingredients in products that serve us in our daily life We have a clear vision of utilising green and sustainable concepts. At the heart of this is crude tall oil, a sustainable co-product from the pulp mill – the core of our activity. Forchem’s crude tall oil (CTO) is a natural substance from the Nordic pine forests. CTO is generated from pine trees through the kraft pulping process, after which crude tall oil is refined and upgraded in our biorefinery in Rauma. The refined tall oil products are natural raw materials for many industrial processes. These bio-based raw materials replace fossil-based ingredients in various everyday products. They are used, for example, in paints, coatings and printing inks. In the future, crude tall oil will be an important ingredient in a variety of products products that have antibacterial or cholesterol-lowering properties, to mention a few applications.
