The composition of cetostearyl alcohol from different sources may vary considerably. The composition of the minor components, typically straight-chain and branched-chain alcohols, varies greatly depending upon the source, which may he animal, vegetable, or synthetic. This has been reported in the literature to impart differences in emulsification behavior, particularly with respect to emulsion consistency or stahi-lity. ...

Other water-borne coatings include water-soluble emulsions, dispersions, and latex resins. Water-soluble resins are rare because most resins derived from vegetable oils are insoluble in water. The true emulsions are based on the emulsification of the oil or alkyd through either the action of a surfactant or a resin that has a surfactantlike character. The alkyd emulsions are readily prepared and can be used for OEM coatings and architectural applications. The submicron size droplets are stabilized by the thickeners (El-Aasser Sudol, 2004 Landfester, 2005 Landfester et al., 2004 Tsavalas et al., 2004 Weissenborn Motiejauskaite, 2000a,b). In dispersions, the resin is a solid and is dispersed in water. The latex resin is usually vinyl acetate, styrene, acrylates, or methacrylates radically copolymerized in a micelle to form particles 0.1 pm in diameter (Bloom et al., 2005 Brister et al., 2000 Jiratumnukul Van De Mark, 2000 Thames et al., 2005).
