Oleochemistry - Ester production

The properties of a fatty acid ester depend on :

-  nature of the (poly)alcohol backbone

-  nature of the fatty acid backbone

-  degree of esterification

-  position of the hydroxyl groups esterified (e.g. terminal, vicinal,...)

Solvay's versatile product line consisting of Diglycerol, Polyglycerol-3 and Polyglycerol-4, combined with the large variety of fatty acids and esterification techniques available, make it possible to manufacture tailor-made fatty acid esters meeting the requirements of virtually any specific application.
