Soaps and ester-soaps of {60 -alkyl branched monocarboxylic acids

摘要

Soaps and ester-soaps of high molecular weight alpha -alkyl branched aliphatic monocarboxylic acids obtained from high molecular weight alpha -olefins are useful lubricants for structural resins. The high molecular weight acids useful for the preparation of the soaps and ester-soaps are obtained by the free radical addition of a short-chain monocarboxylic acid and alpha -olefins containing 22 or more carbon atoms. The soaps and ester-soaps of this invention provide excellent internal-external lubrication for PVC homopolymers and copolymers.
