Wool-wax substitutes

摘要

A wool-wax substitute and a process for its formation are disclosed where the wool-wax substitute is the product of esterification of 1 mole of a glycerol-polyglycerol mixture with: (a) from 0.5 to 1.1 moles of a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof; (b) from 0.5 to 1.1 moles of an unsubstituted straight chained saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having from 16 to 22 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof; (c) from 0.0 to 0.6 mole of an aliphatic saturated branched-chain monocarboxylic acid having from 16 to 18 carbon atoms; (d) from 0.0 to 0.5 mole of a saturated monocarboxylic acid having from 16 to 20 atoms and containing hydroxyl groups, or mixtures thereof, and (e) from 0.5 to 1.0 mole of saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof. The wool-wax has a hydroxyl number ranging from 20 to 100 and acid and iodine numbers under 5.
