Esters are the reaction product between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This definition brings a wide variety of products. We have broken the range down according to the starting alcohol type.
Monoalcohol Esters
Monoalcohol esters are the reaction product of a monovalent alcohol and a fatty acid. Variation in both the alcohol part (hydrophilic) and the fatty acid (lipophilic) results in a difference in polarity. This results in a wide range of applications in many different sectors.
Ethylene glycol esters
Ethylene glycol esters are the reaction product of monoethylene glycol and a fatty acid.
Glycerol esters
PEG esters
Propylene glycol esters
Sorbitan esters
Polyglycerol esters
Polyglycerolesters are emulsifiers and solubililizers made out of renewable feedstocks. Polyglycerol is produced with glycerin which is obtained by the hydrolysation of vegetable oils.
