Arizona Chemical Company Description
Arizona Chemical is always pining for more business. The company is among the world's largest fractionators (separators) of crude tall oil (from the Swedish word talloja, or pine oil). It manufactures such pine tree-based chemicals as fatty acids, rosin esters, and terpenes. These chemicals are used to manufacture a wide variety of products, including adhesives, household cleaners, hydraulic fluids, inks, paints, personal care products, and plastics. Arizona Chemical was formed in 1930 by paper products maker International Paper (IP) and American Cyanamid and now is owned by private equity group Rhone Capital. Tall oil is a byproduct of paper making.
