  • the temperature of the mixture was raised to and held at 165 - 170° C until the acid value was less than 5 mg KOH per gram. The theoretical amount of water was removed during the reaction and collected in the receiver. The sample was cooled and filtered.
  • the filtered product was hydrogenated in a two-liter autoclave: 1000.0 g ethoxylated product, above
  • a propoxylated dibenzoate ester was prepared in a similar fashion.
  • a representative benzyl ester was prepared from: 227.0 g benzyl alcohol
  • hypophosphorous acid 50%) The resulting mixture was heated and held at 165 - 175° C until the theo ⁇ retical amount (37 g) of water was removed. Approximately 580 grams of benzyl laurate were recovered.
  • benzyl esters of pelargonic, octanoic, palmitic, stearic, oleic and hydroxystearie acids were prepared in a similar fashion.
  • Ethoxylated castor and hydrogenated castor oils were prepared as in Example 4. Ethylene oxide adds to the hydroxyl group of castor oil.
  • compositions similar to that of Example 9 were used to color the following articles, under the conditions indicated: ( a ) 180° C, 2 min nylon ring electrical cord screen wire nylon beads nylon cord
  • EXAMPLE 12 A 3/16 inch stainless steel tank of 70 gallon capacity containing 520 pounds of dip dye solution, as in Examples 9 and 10, at a dye level of 0.5 pound of Latyl Blue BCN 356 (crude ground dye) was heated externally to provide a temperature of 182° C.
  • a pump was used to circulate material in the dye bath during heating and while a polyester zipper about two feet long was i ersed in the stirred bath for about 30 seconds.
  • the zipper was removed from the bath and lightly squeezed with a roller to remove excess dye solution.
  • the zipper was washed in a tank containing a mixture of trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene. After 30 seconds' immersion in the bath, the zipper was dried in a hot air chamber. The zipper was ready for final inspection and shipment.
  • the zipper was rapidly dyed by this method and was pleasant in appearance.
  • Dip dye solution is made from the following ingredients, as above: parts by weight 40 hydrogenated cydoaliphatic diester with 2-ethylhexyl alcohol (Example 3)
  • Dip dye solution is made as above from: parts by weight (a) 20 POE nonylphenol (N.P. 8.5)
  • compositions are used for coloration of general-utility articles, with results similar to those obtained above.
  • the preceding examples can be repeated with similar success by substituting the generically or specifically described reactants and/or operating conditions of this invention for those used in the preceding examples.
