Our Product / Services
Our product range contains a wide range of Fatty Acid Esters, Sorbitan Esters, Glycerol Esters, Fatty Alcohols and Glycerine
Fatty acid esters (FAEs) are a type of ester that result from the combination of a fatty acid with an alcohol. When the alcohol component is glycerol, the fatty acid esters produced can be monoglycerides, diglycerides, or triglycerides.
Sorbitan esters are nonionic surfactants and emulsifiers used in many industries, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. They are also known as Spans.
Glycerol esters are formed through an esterification reaction between glycerol and fatty acids. This reaction is also known as glycerolysis. Glycerol esters are used in many industries, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Fatty alcohols are colorless liquid products with typical odor. Natural fatty alcohols are derived from vegetable oils and having an even number of carbon atoms per molecule, whereas synthetic fatty alcohols, derived from petroleum products, may have an odd number of carbon atoms per molecule. Fatty alcohols are generally categorized as short chain (C6-C10), mid-cut (C12-C14) and long chain (C16-C18), depending on the number of carbon atoms contained in each molecule.
Glycerine is a type of carbohydrate known as a sugar alcohol or a polyol. This odorless liquid has a sweet taste and a syrupy consistency. While glycerin occurs naturally in plants through the fermentation of sugars, most of the glycerin nowadays is produced from the hydrolysis of fats and oils.
Polyglycerol esters are a class of compounds that are made by combining polyglycerols with fatty acids. They are known for their emulsifying properties and are used in a variety of products, including cosmetics, food, and chocolate.
Tertiary fatty amines are a group of chemicals that are structurally related tertiary amines with a linear aliphatic chain and N, N-dimethyl substitution. Tertiary fatty amines are used as ingredients in household products like hair conditioners, dishwashing detergents, and disinfectants.
Fatty amines are made by reacting fatty acids with ammonia or primary amines. They can also be made by hydrogenating fatty nitriles, which are produced by reacting fatty acids, triglycerides, or fatty esters with ammonia.
They are divided into four main groups: nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants, each with different properties. The main applications of surfactants include: emulsifying agents, dispersants, solubilizers, detergents, softeners, cleaning agents, washing agents, and bactericides.
A "fatty acid from oleochemical" refers to a fatty acid molecule that is extracted and refined from natural vegetable oil. Which are considered "oleochemicals"; essentially, it's produced through a process called hydrolysis where the triglycerides in the oil are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
Glycol esters are organic compounds that are used in a variety of industrial and domestic applications. They are made from ethylene glycol or propylene glycol and fatty acids. They are biodegradable, generally not toxic, and have very little odor. They are chemically stable and compatible with water and a number of organic solvents
Polysorbates are oily liquids derived from ethoxylated sorbitan (a derivative of sorbitol) esterified with fatty acids. Polysorbates are a class of emulsifiers used in some pharmaceuticals and food preparation. They are commonly used in oral and topical pharmaceutical dosage forms. They are also often used in cosmetics to solubilize essential oils into water-based products.
Specialty esters are used in a wide range of industrial applications, primarily as plasticizers in plastics and rubber, but also as emollients in personal care products, solvents in coatings, lubricants, and even in certain medical applications, depending on the specific ester type.
