Fintoil Oy is a Finnish bio-based chemicals company that refines crude tall oil (CTO), a by-product of the kraft pulping process, into feedstocks and intermediates for renewable fuels and chemical applications. The company operates an industrial-scale CTO distillation plant at the Port of HaminaKotka in southeastern Finland.
Fintoil’s product slate typically includes renewable diesel feedstock, tall oil fatty acids (TOFA), tall oil rosin (TOR), sterol pitch, and turpentine, which are used in fuels, adhesives, lubricants, inks, and other specialty chemical end uses. By upgrading a forest-industry side stream, the company supports the Nordic bioeconomy and the substitution of fossil-based raw materials in downstream value chains.
