Fatty acids polyesters with

Sucrose fatty acid polyesters, e.g., sucrose octapalmltate, have been synthesized in high yield by alkali metal catalysed transesterlflcat-lon of sucrose octaacetate with the appropriate methyl esters of the fatty acid in the absence of solvents. Dithlocarbonatlon of sucrose in sodium hydroxide-pyridine, which allows product acetylation without isolation, has been achieved using carbon disulphide. Chromatography yielded an anticipated range of partially xanthated, otherwise acetylated sucrose derivatives In pure form. 6,6 -Dl-0-... 

The reaction of excess amounts of methyl acrylate and the self-metathesis products of monounsaturated fatty acids like methyl ester of oleic acid with ethylene, produces valuable monomers for polycondensation polymers, as well as precursors for detergents in the presence of a suitable metathesis catalyst. In oleochemistry, azaleic and pelargonic acid were obtained industrially by ozonolysis of oleic acid. Non-linear fatty acid derivatives with two double bonds, (ricinoleic acid maleate) and one double bond (ricinoleic acid succinate) were produced from ricinoleic acid by esterification with maleic and succinic anhydride, respectively. Hydrogenation of this ricinoleic acid succinate yielded 12-hydroxystearic acid succinate which is a monomer for vegetable oil-based polyester. 

In this process polyol, dibasic acid and fatty acids are made to react simultaneously at a temperature of 220-260°C until the desired polyester is obtained. In this process, fatty acids compete with the phthalic anhydride and the phthalate half ester for the available hydroxyl groups. In a special modification of the fatty acid process developed by Kraft, the dibasic acid... 

Beeswax (yellow and white) contains over 80 different compounds, largely made up of hydrocarbons, alkanes, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, free fatty acids, fatty acid monoesters, fatty acid polyesters, diesters, monoesters, triesters, hydroxypolyesters, 1,2,3-propane-triol monoesters, unsatnrated linear fatty acids, and hydroxyacids. Oxygenated volatiles in beeswax include octanal, furfural, 1-decanol, and benzaldehyde with decanal... 

Sucrose polyesters, which are made by esterilying sucrose with long-chain fatty acids, have the physical properties of fat, but are resistant to digestive enzymes (40). Olestra, a sucrose polyester developed by Procter Gamble, was submitted for regulatory approval in May 1987. In order to faciUtate the approval process, Procter Gamble has since narrowed the scope of its food additive petition to include olestra s use only in savory and extmded snacks. 

Inversion ofMon cjueous Polymers. Many polymers such as polyurethanes, polyesters, polypropylene, epoxy resins (qv), and siHcones that cannot be made via emulsion polymerization are converted into latices. Such polymers are dissolved in solvent and inverted via emulsification, foUowed by solvent stripping (80). SoHd polymers are milled with long-chain fatty acids and diluted in weak alkaH solutions until dispersion occurs (81). Such latices usually have lower polymer concentrations after the solvent has been removed. For commercial uses the latex soHds are increased by techniques such as creaming. 

Alkyds. Alkyd resins (qv) are polyesters formed by the reaction of polybasic acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and polyhydric alcohols (see Alcohols, POLYHYDRic). Modified alkyds are made when epoxy, sUicone, urethane, or vinyl resins take part in this reaction. The resins cross-link by reaction with oxygen in the air, and carboxylate salts of cobalt, chromium, manganese, zinc, or zirconium are included in the formulation to catalyze drying. 

Fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, have found a variety of applications. Brassilic acid (1,11-un-decanedicarboxylic acid [BA]), an important monomer used in many polymer applications, is prepared from erucic acid (Scheme 2), obtained from rapeseed and crambe abyssinica oils by ozonolysis and oxidative cleavage [127]. For example, an oligomer of BA with 1,3-butane diol-lauric acid system is an effective plasticizer for polyvinylchloride. Polyester-based polyurethane elastomers are prepared from BA by condensing with ethylene glycol-propylene glycol. Polyamides based on BA are known to impart moisture resistance. 

Unsaturated polyesters are a group of polymers and resins used in coatings or for castings with styrene. These polymers normally have maleic anhydride moiety or an unsaturated fatty acid to impart the required unsaturation. A typical example is the reaction between maleic anhydride and ethylene glycol ... 

By depolymerizing PET waste with a polyol and subsequently condensing the oligomeric product with a polycarboxylic acid or anhydride, polyester resins are produced which have wide industrial applications. Depending on the polyol and polycarboxylic acid or anhydride used, saturated resins, alkyd resins, or unsaturated resins are obtained. PET wastes have been used for the production of alkyd resins in water thinnable paints. The materials obtained from the reaction of PET with a mixture of fatty acids high in linoleic acid content and trimethylolethane have been used in the preparation of water-dispersible coatings. Products of the depolymerization of PET with trimethylolpropane and pentaerythritol are used in the manufacture of high-solids paints. In the first step, PET is depolymerized with trimethylopropane and pentaerythritol at temperatures of 230-240°C. The final paint compositions contain 30-50% of PET depolymerization products.12... 

Polyesters may be used [27-30,223] instead of a fatty acid modifier for imidazoline. Thus a corrosion inhibitor with film-forming and film-persistency characteristics can be produced by first reacting, in a condensation reaction, a polybasic acid with a polyalcohol to form a partial ester. The partial ester is reacted with imidazoline or fatty diamines to result in a salt of the ester. Oil-soluble, highly water-dispersible corrosion inhibitor or oil-dispersible.
