The process of combining an organic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (ROH) to form an ester (RCOOR) and water is called esterification. This chemical reaction results in the formation of at least one ester product with formation of water as the by-product is termed esterification process.
Esters are formed by the reaction of an alcohol and an acid under basic or acid conditions. Esters have a wide range of applications in every industry segment. Esteem-India offers a comprehensive list of esters as per required specifications. Some examples are glycol esters with fatty acids, methoxy PEG esters & methyl ester ethoxylates, glycerol esters (GMO, GMS, GTS, GML, GTO) sorbitan esters (SMO, SMS, SML, STO, STS, SorbitansesquiOleate) and polyglycerates( eg; polyethylene glycerol mono oleate).
