Hatcol esters series includes
range of high purity esters that often replace mineral oils in
various applications where they provide unique tactile
qualities. These products include stearates, palmitate,
decanoates. They find usages as raw material for surfactants,
cosmetic base, additives for pharmaceuticals, and friction
modifier.
Monoesters are made by reacting monohydric
alcohols with monobasic fatty acids creating a molecule with a
single ester linkage and linear or branched alkyl groups. These
products are generally very low in viscosity (usually under 2
cSt at 100 C) and exhibit extremely low pour points and high VIs.
The presence of the ester linkage imparts polarity which helps
to offset the high volatility expected with such small
molecules. Hence, when compared to a hydrocarbon of equal
molecular weight, a monoester will have a significantly higher
flash point giving it a broader temperature range in use.
Monoesters are used primarily for extremely cold applications
such as in Arctic hydraulic oils and deep sea drilling. They can
also be used in formulating automotive aftermarket additives to
improve cold starting.
Hatco has an extensive line of
monoesters for use in diverse applications. It is the largest
manufacturer of lubricant grade esters in the world, and has the
broadest range of products available anywhere. Hatco makes high
purity esters to an essentially colorless and odorless quality
for use in personal care products. These products often replace
mineral oils and silicon in various skin creams, emollients and
lotions. Hatcol Esters give support to the consistency, purity
and quality you expect in your creams, lotions or emollients.
For more information about
our extensive line of monobasic esters,
we
encourage confidential consultation with our technically trained
Business Managers who can guide you to the best products
or development programs. Given
of the
complexity involved in balancing the physical, chemical, and
performance characteristics of our extensive range of ester
products with the exact application and market needs,
this preliminary consultation
allows for the selection of the best product based on properties
determined by you or defined by your application.
