Abstract: Processes are described for producing liquid, biobased lubricant additives containing from 50 to 100% biobased carbon according to ASTM D6866 from heat-bodied oils by transesterification with biobased or petroleum based alcohols and by hydrotreatment of at least the resulting diesters, triesters and polyesters.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of preparing compositions enriched in compounds containing carbon chains of varying degrees of unsaturation using argentation chromatography. The present method utilizes an argentized cationic resin or a conditioned argentized alumina to separate compounds containing saturated or mono-unsaturated carbon chains from compounds having polyunsaturated carbon chains present in a starting composition. The invention is particularly useful for preparing a composition enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acid alkyl esters from mixtures of fatty acid esters in a starting composition derived from vegetable oils. The present invention is also directed to a method of preparing a conditioned argentized alumina adsorbent having increased selectivity for compounds containing one or more polyunsaturated carbon chains.

Abstract: Processes are described for producing liquid, biobased lubricant additives containing from 50 to 100% biobased carbon according to ASTM D6866 from heat-bodied oils by transesterification with biobased or petroleum based alcohols and by hydrogenation of at least the resulting diesters, triesters and polyesters.
Abstract: The present disclosure presents materials comprising hydrogenated and/or partially hydrogenated polymerized vegetable oils. Non-limiting applications of the polymerized oils, including coatings, binders, blends, and greases are presented. Methods for forming these materials are also disclosed.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to aqueous coating compositions, such as paints, containing a film-forming latex polymer and a reactive surfactant and/or a low VOC humectant. The reactive surfactant, a polyglycerol ester or ether of an unsaturated fatty acid, reduces or eliminates the need for traditional water-soluble additives that lower the water resistance of the dry coating. Additionally, the reactive surfactants of the invention are capable of oxidative cross-linking during the curing process, forming a dry film that is more durable and water-resistant than traditional latex paint composition. The low VOC humectant polyglycerol, isosorbide, or a derivative of isosorbide can replace at least in part traditional humectants such as propylene glycol which contribute to VOCs, while maintaining an effective open time for application of the aqueous coating compositions.
Abstract: Oil of improved quality is produced by treating the oil with an active substance capable of reducing the anisidine value of the oil. Food products comprising the oil of improved quality are also disclosed.
