Short and medium chain fatty acid monoglycerides are commonly added to animal feed to enhance gut health by supporting the integrity of the intestinal lining and modulating the gut microbiome. Their antimicrobial properties help control harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of disease transmission and improving overall animal welfare.

Esters are widely used in the CASE sector as stabilisers, dispersants, plasticisers, and coalescing agents to enhance product performance and durability. They also serve as curing agents and solvents.

Sorbitan oleate esters are well proven as high performance emulsifiers to deliver stability for explosive emulsion formulations.

Fatty acid esters are used in personal care formulations as emulsifiers, dispersants, emollients, wetting agents, opacifiers, thickeners and more. They are INCI listed and present options across the HLB spectrum.

Sorbitan esters are the precursors required to produce polysorbates via ethoxylation.

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.

Esterchem esters have varied applications for the oil and gas industry, encompassing filter cake breakers, descalers, cleaning agents, foam control products, and drilling mud additives.

Fatty acid esters are used in personal care formulations as emulsifiers, dispersants, emollients, wetting agents, opacifiers, thickeners and more. They are INCI listed and present options across the HLB spectrum.

Esterchem products have widespread applications within the water treatment sector, notably for flocculant production and foam control formulations. They act as emulsifiers, processing aids, dispersants, defoamers and stabilisers.
