Fintoil is a Finnish bio-based chemicals company that refines crude tall oil (CTO), a renewable by‑product of the kraft pulping process, into fuel components and chemical intermediates. The company operates a CTO biorefinery at the Port of HaminaKotka in southeastern Finland, linking the forestry, chemical, and energy value chains.
Fintoil’s product slate includes tall oil fatty acids and distilled tall oil for fuel and oleochemical applications, as well as rosin, sterol pitch, and turpentine used in adhesives, inks, coatings, rubber, and fragrance industries. By upgrading a pulp industry side stream via fractional distillation, the company supplies bio-based feedstocks for renewable diesel and a range of sustainable chemical uses, helping reduce reliance on fossil-derived inputs in European supply chains.
