Fatty Acids

Use CREMER fatty acids for industrial or food purposes. These biodegradable chemicals can be added to a variety of paint, sealants, or coatings to form a strong barrier to the elements. Other cuts or formulations can act as lubricants in industrial or plastic manufacturing.

Fatty Alcohols

Long chain fatty alcohols are widely used as industrial lubricants because of their hydrophilic nature. This property allows smooth slippage between two interacting pieces of machinery or to cleanly pop products from molds. CREMER fatty alcohols make sustainable, non-sticky lubricants for industrial and cosmetic purposes.

Glycerin & Glycerols

CREMER glycerin is a sustainably sourced, water-soluble lubricant for a variety of industrial and home care purposes. CREMER carries USP refined (99.7%) glycerin and unrefined glycerin. All varieties are certified organic through the supply chain, and kosher and halal certifications are available. Due to its humectant and non-reactive properties, glycerin is widely used when an easily washed, non-sticky lubricant is required.

Methyl Esters

CREMER supplies sustainable and biodegradable esters for industrial lubricants. Due to their ability to form strong bonds, these oleochemicals can reduce wear on machinery or manufacturing tools in a wide range of temperatures and environments. Customers use CREMER esters as release agents in manufacturing processes or for metal working needs, among other applications.

Vegetable Oils

Primarily used in food and beverage applications, CREMER supplies an assortment of vegetable, tropical, and specialty oils. Use these oils for baking and foods processed in molds to add organic and sustainable lubrication that adds flavor and nutrition.
