Sources of Synthetic Esters

 

Natural vegetable oils (such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, and soybean oil) can be hydrolyzed to produce fatty acids and glycerol.

Fatty acids and alcohols undergo esterification under the action of a catalyst. The hydroxyl group of the carboxyl group in the carboxylic acid molecule combines with the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group in the alcohol molecule to form water, while the remaining components combine to form esters, called synthetic esters. Synthetic esters are deep-processed products of natural vegetable oils and are inherently environmentally friendly.

Synthetic esters have good lubricating properties, strong polarity, and can be used as cosolvents in base oils and additives. They have high biodegradability, making them a major solution for environmentally friendly lubricants. They also have high viscosity index, high flash point, and low pour point.
