Product Profile of High Viscosity Biodegradable Diesters

High Viscosity Biodegradable Diesters are highly etherified, with minimal carboxylic residues. Diesters exhibit good thermal stability, high viscosity index and good low temperature fluidity. Diesters are completely biodegradable and have two ester groups per molecule which means that the molecular weight and viscosity will normally be higher than simple esters. High Viscosity Biodegradable Diesters can either be made from a dibasic acid and mono-functional alcohols or from a diol and fatty acid.
