About ESTERS



Esters are versatile compounds widely used in various industries. These compounds are available in both liquid and solid forms, with a fruity taste and pleasant, sweet smell. They are commonly used as solvents, flavoring agents, plasticizers, and intermediates in chemical synthesis. Depending on the application, esters can be of industrial, food, or pharmaceutical grade. With neutral to slightly acidic pH levels, esters exhibit different melting points and purity levels. They are mainly utilized in coatings, adhesives, fragrances, artificial flavors, and biofuels. Esters are known for their limited solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents. Stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and open flames, esters have a shelf life of 12-24 months when stored properly.
