Lubricants
Oleate esters are important components of lubricant formulations, as both base oils and additives. Among other functions they deliver excellent emulsification, lubricity, thermal and oxidative stability, film strength and foam control.
Product Groups
Key Products
-
PEG 400 Monostearate
PEG 400 Monostearate (PEG 400 MS) is a multifunctional non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. It is commonly used where emulsification, wetting, lubrication, and dispersion properties are required across a wide range of industrial and personal care formulations.
-
Pentaerythritol Tetraoleate
Pentaerythritol TetraOleate (PTO) is a high-performance Group V polyol ester. It is widely used as a biodegradable synthetic base oil where excellent lubricity, thermal stability and high-temperature performance are required.
-
Propylene Glycol Dioleate
Propylene Glycol Dioleate (PGDO) is a non-ionic diester. It is a highly oil-soluble polar ester applied primarily as a lubricity additive and carrier ester in industrial lubricant formulations, as well as to provide emolliency properties for personal care formulations.
-
Sorbitan Monooleate
Sorbitan Monooleate (SMO) is a non-ionic surfactant and low-HLB emulsifier. With an HLB of approximately 4.3, it is particularly suited for water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, whilst also functioning as an effective wetting agent, dispersant and co-emulsifier in a wide range of industrial and technical formulations.
-
Trimethylolpropane Trioleate
Trimethylolpropane Trioleate (TMPTO) is a synthetic triester primarily used as a biodegradable lubricating base oil and additive.
