cooled below 150C.
Product Performance
ESTEROL 113TM as a fatty ester has excellent solvency powers and hence can easily be formulated with a wide range of oils, surfactants and oils soluble
materials. Based on prime tallow, its fatty acids are predominantly oleic and
stearic which results in a product which is oxidatively stable, nonvolatile and
readily biodegradable. Fatty esters are suitable as low hazard replacements for
aromatic or petrochemical solvents.
Product Usage
Metal working: Lubricants
Textile: Spinning Lubricant
Key Points
Low toxicity means that it poses a low health and safety risk for users.
Readily Biodegradable means that it will have a low environmental impact.
Excellent solvency properties can provide formulators with replacements for
petroleum derived solvents.
High lubricity and low volatility characteristics can provide the properties required
of oily bases in specialized lubricant products.
