All fatty esters presented in this brochure display the inherent advantages of their feedstock,
natural fats and oils: non-toxic, non-irritating, biodegradable and environmentally friendly
in general. Oleon encourages its customers and potential customers of Radia ® oleochemicals
to give proper regard to human health and environmental quality. Material Safety, Hygiene
and Environmental data sheets are available on request for all products. The W.G.K.
(Wassergefährdungsklasse) of all fatty esters in this brochure is between 0 and 1.

VEGETABLE OR ANIMAL ORIGIN
The fatty acids that are used to produce these fatty esters are vegetable or animal fats and
oils (triglycerides). The composition of these fatty acids is either the natural composition of
the triglycerides or a technical cut. For some grades a pure fatty acid is required.
The origin of the beef tallow and the production process used guarantee that our final
products satisfy the European BSE-legislation. The presence of GMO (Genetically Modified
Organisms) is linked to the use of fatty acids of soybean or corn. These fatty acids are not
used in the range presented here.
STANDARD AVAILABILITY & PACKAGING
Given the wide range of esters and our policy of continuous development, it is almost
impossible to guarantee the availability in stock of all esters at all times. If a product is
required that is not currently available, our sales organization will inform you and reach an
agreement that takes the minimum batch size of the relevant esterification unit into account.
