Distilled tall oil fatty acids are industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids derived from the refining of tall oil, a by-product of wood pulping processes. They consist primarily of oleic and linoleic acids used in soaps, lubricants, and alkyd resins. Classified under HTS 3823.19.4000 as 'other' industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids, excluding tall oil fatty acids specified separately.
