Description
Butyl esters are fatty acid esters that have been used in lubricants and metal working products for over 60 years. They have a high flash point, low volatility, and good lubricity, and their polarity makes them good solvents & detergents. Butyl esters are also commonly biodegradable.
Here are some examples of butyl esters and their uses:
