Specialty Esters
-
Ascent Chemicals’ Specialty Esters portfolio covers fatty acid esters for personal care, cosmetics, metalworking, rubber, plastics and industrial fluids. It includes alkyl, glycerol and polyol esters that serve as emollients, lubricants, plasticizers, emulsifiers and process aids. Because the fatty acid and alcohol set performance, formulators can match viscosity, skin feel, low-temperature flexibility and stability to the application, with liquid and solid grades to suit different processes.

Ascent Chemicals’ Alkyl Esters are light, low-volatility liquids that work as emollients, plasticizers and lubricants. Use them for fast-spreading, non-greasy feel in skin and hair care, low-temperature flexibility in polar rubbers like polychloroprene, and lubricity in metalworking fluids and printing inks. Choose saturated grades for color and oxidative stability, or unsaturated grades that stay fluid in the cold.

Ascent Chemicals’ Glycerol Esters are emulsifiers and thickeners that build stable, smooth-textured creams, lotions and hair care products. They also serve as surfactants in plastic films, herbicides and adhesives. Choose the stearate flake for body and structure, or the oleate grade, which is liquid when warm, for easier blending.
