Patent number: 6960248Abstract: Cyclic bisamides may be used to formulate inks for jet ink printing. The cyclic bisamide may be prepared from a cyclic diamine and acylic monocarboxylic acids. Conversely, the cyclic bisamide may be prepared from a cyclic diacid and acylic monoamines. The performance properties of the product may be enhanced by adding some additional difunctional reactant(s), e.g., diacid or diamine. A blend of bisamides may provide better performance properties than either of the component bisamides alone, where the blend includes at least one cyclic bisamide. The bisamides, in combination with an image-forming material, and optionally in combination with other materials, is taken to a molten form and then applied to a substrate to provide a printed substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2003Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: Arizona Chemical CompanyInventor: Mark S.

Patent number: 6864349Abstract: Polymerized fatty acid-based polyamides may be combined with low polarity and high polarity co-solvents to produce homogeneous water-in-oil emulsions. These emulsions have the appearance of white or translucent creams, with stiffnessranging from soft and greasy, to hard and able to support weight. These emulsions are stable in the presence or absence of surfactant, and are formed easily by mixing components with heat and then cooling. These emulsions are useful in applications favoring an oil base, such as skin creams and cosmetics with emulsions of low stiffness, and car polish with emulsions of greater stiffness.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2002Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: Arizona Chemical CompanyInventors: Mark S.

Patent number: 6503077Abstract: A tertiary amide-terminated dimer acid-based polyamide may be blended with a solvent to form a gel. The solvent may be flammable, and a wick may be added to the resulting gel so as to form a candle. Depending on the composition, the candle may be formed into a free-standing pillar, or may be better suited to being placed in a container. The solvent may, for example, be mineral oil or triglyceride. A solid coating may be placed around the candle, for advantages including to enhance the mechanical stability of the gelled body, and to eliminate the tendency of a gel to have an oily feel and to accept noticeable fingerprints. The solvent which, in combination with the tertiary amine-terminated dimer acid-based polymer forms a gel, may be or include a fragrance material. The gelled composition may also include fatty acid and/or a compound containing one, two, or more ester groups. In one aspect, the article does not contain a wick, and is intended to function as a fragrance-releasing product.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Arizona Chemical CompanyInventors: Stephen D.
