Calcium complex soap greases, obtained by the reaction of lime and a mixture of fatty acids and acetic acid. These greases offer good high temperature and anti-wear/extreme pressure properties related to the presence, in the soap, of calcium acetate that acts as solid lubricant they have good mechanical stability. 

Aluminum complex greases, obtained by the reaction of aluminum isopropylate with a mixture of benzoic acid and fatty acids. These greases have a remarkable resistance to water, very good adhesion to metallic surfaces, good mechanical stability properties and resistance to temperature. They are less common than the first two types.

Fatty Acid Process. When free fatty acids are used instead of oil as the starting component, the alcoholysis step is avoided. AH of the ingredients can therefore be charged into the reactor to start a batch. The reactants are heated together, under agitation and an inert gas blanket, until the desired endpoint is reached. Alkyds prepared by the fatty acid process have narrower molecular weight distribution and give films with better dynamic mechanical properties (34).

Solvent extraction in batch or continuous systems is used to recover most of the residual oil from the presscake. Heptane, hexane, or a mixture of these solvents is used to recover the oil. The solvent-extracted presscake is steam stripped to recover solvent and a residual meal known as castor pomace, containing 1% residual oil. The solvent extracted oil is also processed for solvent recovery (qv). The oil from the extraction procedure is darker than the mechanically pressed oil and has a higher free fatty acid content. It is sometimes referred to as a No. 3 castor oil and is used for blending with higher quaUty oils that are well above No. 1 specifications. 

Structure and Mechanism of Formation. Thermal dimerization of unsaturated fatty acids has been explaiaed both by a Diels-Alder mechanism and by a free-radical route involving hydrogen transfer. The Diels-Alder reaction appears to apply to starting materials high ia linoleic acid content satisfactorily, but oleic acid oligomerization seems better rationalized by a free-radical reaction (8—10).
