Abstract: A resin composition is prepared by reacting components comprising dibasic acid, diamine, polyol and monoalcohol, wherein (a) at least 50 equivalent percent of the dibasic acid comprises polymerized fatty acid; (b) at least 50 equivalent percent of the diamine comprises ethylene diamine; (c) 10-60 equivalent percent of the total of the hydroxyl and amine equivalents provided by diamine, polyol and monoalcohol are provided by monoalcohol; and (d) no more than 50 equivalent percent of the total of the hydroxyl and amine equivalents provided by diamine, polyol and monoalcohol are provided by polyol. This resin composition may be formulated into, for example, personal care products, fragrance releasing products and candles.
Abstract: Reduced-rosin compositions of printing inks and the resinate binders therein, and the processes of preparation thereof, are described. In said compositions, a portion of the rosin normally used in the art is replaced by Monomer, and is further reacted with ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic compound, alkaline metal salt, and solvent to produce the resinate binder product. Said resinate binder may then be formulated with a colorant to produce an ink, preferably for use in publication gravure.
Abstract: Esters formed from polyol, C12-C28 branched chain fatty acid, and/or C12-C28 cyclic fatty acid are useful as a friction modifier for lubricants. Monomer is a preferred source for these fatty acids.
