Abstract: The development of acrylated biomonomers produced from vegetable oil derivatives with a high degree of unsaturation allows the production of esters with a high content of epoxy precursor for the production of acrylated monomers with a high content of unsaturations capable of producing excellent varnishes. Starting with common and widely available oils such as soybean and similar oils, removing the saturated part, thus generating materials with a high degree of unsaturation similar to fatty materials derived from linseed oil. These biomonomers and their respective biopolymers in applications have demonstrated excellent performance, durability, are odorless, cure quickly, are biodegradable and economically more attractive.

Abstract: Some phthalates are considered toxic and carcinogenic, which limits their use and demand for safer and more environmentally friendly plasticizers. The development of plasticizers produced from vegetable oil derivatives with a high degree of unsaturation is described, which allows the production of esters with a high epoxy content, guaranteeing excellent performance in terms of plasticization, high compatibility with polymeric materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polyesters, nitrocellulose, thereby avoiding migration when used in polymeric matrices. Fatty materials produced from linseed or tung oil have a high degree of unsaturation compared to vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, peanut, canola, sunflower; however, they are scarce and expensive when compared to them. we start Starting from common oils such as soybean and similar oils and separate the saturated part, generates materials with a high degree of unsaturation similar to fatty materials derived from linseed oil.

Abstract: The invention is based on the development of biolubricants from vegetable oils, whose performance is superior to traditional lubricants currently used on the market, the vast majority of which are of petrochemical origin. Another great positive aspect is the rapid biodegradability, in less than 28 days more than 60% of the product biodegrades. In most countries, the disposal use after of these petrochemical products is prohibited, which creates a major problem and cost. The flexibility and the possibility of assembling molecules with different configurations generate lubricants with previously unimaginable performance, such as, for example, high lubricity, adjustable viscosity and low freezing points.

Abstract: A family of polyols with superior functionality to existing polyols of both vegetable and petrochemical origin are provided. The greater functionality provides much higher performance due to the greater number of hydroxyls per weight of product. Therefore, biopolymers produced through these biopolyols have superior performance and a more advantageous cost. In addition to performance and economic aspects, the environmental benefits are enormous due to the non-generation of waste, products are completely biodegradable, non-toxic, non-corrosive, harmless, waste such as frying oil, residual fatty acids can be used. The key and crucial point of the products is to obtain a starting material with a high content of unsaturated fatty chains, that is, with an oleic and linoleic chain content and a low amount of stearic and palmitic acid.

Abstract: The invention is based on the development of biolubricants from vegetable oils, more specifically refers to capric, caprylic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, ricinoleic, isooleic, isostearic, undecylenic fatty acids whose applications are for compressors in refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, industrial compressors and as lubricants for the automotive line is provided. Such products are used in refrigeration compressors, more specifically in refrigerators and air conditioners, industrial compressors and lubricants for the small and large automotive sector. Due to the use of 90% renewable raw materials, the products are biodegradable, non-toxic and safe to be handled. These products, after use as lubricants, can be discarded due to their biodegradability or recovered to be used in other less rigid applications, such as for the production of polyester resins, polyols for the production of polyurethanes, or production of plasticizers for PVC, paints and varnishes.

Abstract: The development of isomerized processes and products using triglycerides rich in linear oleic and linoleic chains as raw materials is provided. Isomerization physically and chemically modifies fatty acids and methyl esters, creating opportunities for new applications that are not possible with linear chain materials. Chains with methyl radicals provide a lower melting point, greater adhesion (see properties between polyethylene and polypropylene polymers), excellent emollience and spreadability on physical surfaces such as skin, leaves, wood, hair. Monoesters, diesters, triesters, tetraesters are produced with a range of possible applications previously not possible with linear fatty materials.

Abstract: The development of ethyl isooleate obtained from the isomerization of fatty acids from soy, palm, sunflower, rapeseed, peanut and its applications in the cosmetic field, more specifically, in formulations of face creams, body creams and hair conditioners is described. Isomerization creates non-linear branched chains that generate unique properties such as greater emollience, lubricity, solvency, spreadability, thermal and chemical stability, as well as greater fluidity in viscous systems. Ethyl isooleate is free from ocular and skin irritation, being completely non-allergenic. Ethyl oleate is an excellent solvent for active ingredients in ointments, creams, lotions. It works as an excellent excipient in delivery system formulations, helping the penetration of active ingredients into the skin. All of these characteristics above belong to ethyl oleate, however, from a physicochemical point of view, ethyl isooleate has superior properties to its isomer ethyl oleate.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the synthesis of triisoamyl citrate (triisopentanol citrate) and its applications as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride polymers, natural and synthetic rubbers, industrial solvents, replacing petrochemical-based products such as Phthalates (Dioctyl Phthalate, Diisononyl Phthalate, Dibutyl Phthalate), Acetylated tributylcitrate, epoxidized fatty esters, isoparaffins. It is a 100% renewable, high-performance, non-toxic, biodegradable product with an extremely competitive cost. With the increase in corn alcohol production in Brazil, this technology and product adds value to the fusel oil co-product generated in corn alcohol plants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for production of fatty acids directly from soapstock generated in the alkali refining process including the steps of (a) adding a lipase directly to the alkaline soapstock to facilitate hydrolysis of glycerides without prior neutralization, (b) neutralizing and splitting the soaps with strong acids, and (c) separating the fatty acid phase from the aqueous phase by settling and/or centrifugation. A second embodiment is a process in which the soapstock is first neutralized and split with strong acids, followed by adding a lipase to facilitate glyceride hydrolysis, and separating the fatty acid phase. The fatty acids so obtained can be esterified with C1-C6 alcohols using a lipase that is selective for fatty acids and does not transesterify the sterolesters, and the fatty acid esters and sterolesters are separated by distillation. The sterolesters are useful as supplements for food, as pharmaceutical agents for lowering cholesterol and as biofuel and biodiesel.
