LOW POUR POINT PRIMARY AMIDES

摘要

A method of preparing reduced pour point amides. The method involves reactin g an etheramine and a fatty acid, or a methyl ester thereof, in a molar ratio from about 0.1:1 to about 10:1. The resulting low pour point primary amides are also disclosed. These low pour point primary amines have a low vapor pressure, and exhibit excellent emulsifying and lubricating properties. A method of lowering the pour point of high pour point amides is also disclose d. This method involves blending the low pour point amides of the present invention with amides having pour points higher than the pour point of the primary amides of the present invention.
