<p>A low molecular weight, tertiary amide terminated polyamide may be blended with a liquid hydrocarbon to form a transparent composition having gel consistency. The tertiary amide terminated polyamide may be prepared by reacting "x" equivalents of dicarboxylic acid wherein at least 50 % of those equivalents are from polymerized fatty acid, "y" equivalents of diamine such as ethylene diamine, and "z" equivalents of a monofunctional reactant having a secondary amine group as the only reactive functionality. The stoichiometry of the reaction mixture is preferably such that 0.9 <= {x/(y+z <= 1.1 and 0.1 <= {z/(y+z <= 0.7. The gel contains about 5-50 % tertiary amide terminated polyamide, with the remainder preferably being pure hydrocarbon. The gels are useful in formulating personal care products and other articles wherein some degree of gel-like or self-supporting consistency is desired.</p> |
