Vegetable Derivatives

 Esters

Esters can help improve the feel of a product that they are blended into since their physical and chemical properties, including viscosity, fluidity and melting point, can be altered by varying the combination of fatty acid and alcohol employed. Also, Nippon Fine Chemical's ester products have various functions, including emollient effects and making substances with low solubility more soluble.

Compared with natural oils and fats, esters have excellent stability, and their quality varies little in terms of color and odor. Thus, customers can rely on NFC's ester products.

With long years of experience with ester synthesis techniques, NFC not only offers the ester products listed in the catalog but also custom-manufactures unique esters upon customer request.
