ESTERS

Esters obtained from vegetable oils or fatty acids by condensation with alcohols or polyalcohols are widely used within industries.

One of the best-known such esters is fatty acid methyl ester, which is an alternative to petroleum-derived diesel fuel and is named biodiesel.

A wide range of fatty acid esters with isopropyl, butyl, ethylhexyl and other alcohols is used as solvents, low-viscosity oils, components in cosmetics, additives in polymers.

Esters based on polyols and fatty acids also exhibit excellent lubricating properties and may be mixed with mineral oils to achieve the desired level of biodegradability of the final products.

2-BUTYL ESTER

2-Butyl ester is a product of the condensation of 2-butyl alcohol and fatty acids mainly sourced from sunflower or rapeseed oils. It’s a liquid yellow color with a low pour point that makes it suitable for different industrial applications as well as cosmetic and personal care products. 2-Butyl ester is a good solvent, low-viscous lubricant, emollient, additive to polymers.

2-ETHYLHEXYL ESTER

2-Ethylhexyl ester is a product of the condensation of 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and fatty acids mainly sourced from sunflower or rapeseed oils. It’s a liquid yellow color with a low pour point that makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. 2-Ethylhexyl ester is used as a low-viscous lubricant, solvent, emollient, additive to polymers and coatings.

ISOPROPYL ESTER

Isopropyl ester is a product of the condensation of isopropyl alcohol and fatty acids mainly sourced from sunflower or rapeseed oils. It’s a liquid yellow color with a low pour point that makes it suitable for different industrial applications as well as cosmetic and personal care products. Isopropyl ester is used as a solvent, low-viscous lubricant, emollient, additive to polymers.

It may be delivered in drums, IBCs or in bulk. Preferably bulk liquid in tank trucks, rail tanks, ISO containers or flexitanks.
