  • Fatty acid ester compositions for use as emollients
    Patent number: 9656944
    Abstract: A novel fatty acid ester having the general formula R1—COOR2 wherein R1 and R2 are hydrocarbon groups derived from a branched fatty acid and an alcohol, respectively. R1 is derived from a branched fatty acid which has been refined from a commercially available acid to give a product with a high concentration of monobranched fatty acids and a low concentration of polybranched fatty acids. The use of the ester derived from the refined fatty acid is found to be particularly useful in personal care compositions, for example as an emollient.
    Type: Grant

  • Branched acids
    Patent number: 9328307
    Abstract: A novel, branched, saturated, primary fatty acid amide is disclosed. Application areas are as a slip and/or antiblocking agent or mold release agent. The branched, saturated, primary fatty acid has a formula R—CO—NH2 where R is a saturated, branched hydrocarbon chain having 11 to 23 carbon atoms, wherein at least 60% by weight of the R—CO—NH2 molecules have monoalkyl branches and less than 25% by weight of the R—CO—NH2 molecules have polyalkyl branches.
