Alkoxylated guerbet citrate polyesters

摘要

The present invention has as its objective a series of citrate polyesters that have based upon guerbet alcohols reacted with citric acid, and crosslinked by water soluble diols, resulting in polymers with improved water solubility. These polymers have a very low viscosity when one considers the molecular weight, and are ideally suited to personal care applications due to their unique feel delivered from aqueous solution or emulsions.
