Abstract: Described herein are methods of stabilizing the beta hydrogen of glycerol based esters by the insertion of alkoxy groups to significantly improve the thermal, oxidative, and hydrolytic stability of the ester and allow for controlling the molar density of esters bonds in the lubricants to maximize hydrolytic stability while maintaining biodegradability and further improving performance properties.

Abstract: Wax compositions derived from metathesized natural oils and amines and methods of making wax compositions from metathesized natural oils and amines are provided. The wax compositions comprise amidated metathesized natural oils formed from a metathesized natural oil and at least one amine. The methods comprise providing an amine and providing a metathesized natural oil. The methods further comprise mixing the amine and the metathesized natural oil in the presence of a basic catalyst or heat, causing a reaction between the amine and metathesized natural oil, therein forming the amidated metathesized natural oil.

Abstract: Natural oil based fatty acid wax compositions and their methods of making are provided. The methods comprise providing a natural oil, and hydrogenating and metathesizing the natural oil, and then converting the hydrogenated metathesized natural oil to obtain a fatty acid wax comprising free fatty acids and/or salts of fatty acids, glycerol and/or alcohol, and paraffin, wherein the fatty acid wax has at least 50 wt % of carbon chain compositions with at least 18 carbon atoms. The compositions may comprise 85-100 wt % long-chain fatty acids, 0-15 wt % esters, wherein the fatty acid comprises between 15-60 wt % long chain di-acids and 40-85 wt % long chain mono-acids. The compositions may comprise about 50-100 wt % long-chain fatty acids and about 0-50 wt % esters, wherein the fatty acid may comprise between about 15-80 wt % long chain di-acids and about 20-85 wt % long chain monoacids.
