Product Performance
ESTEROL 131TM 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 Canola oil, its fatty acids are predominantly oleic which
results in liquid product which is oxidatively stable, nonvolatile and readily
biodegradable. Fatty esters are suitable as low hazard replacements for aromatic
or petrochemical solvents.
