The term "oligomer" here means a polymer in which a relatively small number of monomers are bound. It is preferable that the number of monomers in the oligomer be 100 or less, more preferably 50 or less, and still more preferably 20 or less.

The (a) oligomer of a hydroxy fatty acid triglyceride and a saturated diacid can be obtained by the reaction of a hydroxy fatty acid triglyceride (such as hydrogenated castor oil) and a saturated diacid . The reaction may be an esterification. Thus, the (a) oligomer of a hydroxy fatty acid triglyceride and a saturated diacid can be an oligoester of a hydroxy fatty acid and a saturated diacid.

According to the present invention, the diacid is said to be saturated when the hydrocarbon-based chain of which it consists does not contain an unsaturated group, that is to say a carbon-carbon double bond. The term "diacid" here designates a hydrocarbon-based compound comprising two carboxyl -COOH functions. The diacid can be a single diacid or a mixture of several different diacids.

Likewise, within the meaning of the present invention, the oligomer can be a mixture of several different oligomers.

Among the saturated diacids which can be used, mention may be made of sebacic acid (or 1,10-decanedioic acid), malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid , octadecamethylene dicarboxylic acid and eicosadicarboxylic acid.

More particularly, the oligomer can be an oligoester whose monomers are represented by the following formulas (A) of triglyceride and (B) of diacid:

Thus, the silicone oil(s) can be chosen from volatile silicones, non-volatile silicones and mixtures thereof.

Thus, the silicone oil can comprise either at least one volatile silicone oil, or at least one non-volatile silicone oil, or both at least one volatile silicone oil and at least one non-volatile silicone oil.

The volatile or non-volatile silicone can be chosen from linear, branched or cyclic silicones, optionally modified with at least one organo-functional moiety or group.

For example, the silicone oil can be chosen from the group consisting of polydialkylsiloxanes such as polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), polyalkylarylsiloxanes such as phenyltrimethicone, polydiarylsiloxanes and organo-modified polysiloxanes comprising at least one organo moiety or group -functional chosen from poly(oxyalkylene) moieties or groups, alkoxy or alkoxyalkyl moieties or groups, hydroxyl or hydroxyl moieties or groups, acyloxy or acyloxyalkyl moieties or groups, carboxylic acid or carboxylate moieties or groups, acrylics and oxazoline moieties.

If the silicone oil(s) is (are) volatile, the silicone oil(s) can be chosen from among those whose boiling point ranges from 60°C to 260°C, for example:

(i) cyclic silicones such as polydialkylsiloxanes comprising from 3 to 7, for example from 4 to 5 silicon atoms.

Advantageously, the esters of polyol(s) and dimer of fatty diacid, or an ester thereof, suitable for the present invention, can have a viscosity, measured at approximately 25° C., greater than or equal to approximately 1500 mPa .s.

The viscosity of an ester of polyol(s) and of fatty diacid dimer, or of an ester thereof, according to the present invention, can be measured according to any process known to those skilled in the art, and for example according to the classic process described below.

Viscosity can be measured using an Ares type cone/plate or parallel plate viscometer (TA-Instrument) operating in kinetic scan mode over a shear range of approximately 1 to 1000 s ^-1 to induce a flow voltage of about 1000 Pa.

The cone/plate or parallel plates may be made of a material selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, acrylic resins or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS resin).

The cone/plate diameter can be 25 mm (0.10 radian cone angle).

The measurement is carried out at approximately 25°C.

Before any measurement, the stability of the sample is checked by means of the dynamic sweep period test, which makes it possible to determine whether the sample is stable in itself.

The shear viscosity is determined using the ETA value in the plateau region depending on the flow.

The dynamic sweep period is determined at a frequency of 1.0 Hz over a period of 600 seconds.

The measurements at constant scanning speed are carried out with a rate ranging from 1.0 to 1000 s ^-1 and for example from 1.0 to 100 s ^-1 .

The viscosity of a fatty diacid polyol(s) dimer ester or ester thereof suitable for the present invention can range from about 1500 mPa.s to about 150,000 mPa. s, or for example from about 2,000 mPa.s to about 150,000 mPa.s, or for example from about 15,000 mPa.s to about 100,000 mPa.s or for example from about 30,000 mPa.s at about 80,000 mPa.s.

According to one embodiment, a polyol suitable for the present invention can be a diol dimer.

The diol dimer and fatty diacid dimer esters which can be used in the context of the present invention are commercially available or can be prepared in conventional manner. They can be of vegetable origin and can be obtained by esterification of diacid dimers with diol dimers.

In an esterification reaction with a diacid dimer, a polyol dicarboxylate is obtained, which can have a weight average molecular weight, determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC for gel permeation chromatography), ranging from 2000 to 25 000 g/mol or for example between 2000 and 4000 g/mol.

diacid dimer

The fatty diacid dimers, or diacid dimers, can be obtained conventionally by polymerization reaction, for example by intermolecular dimerization, of at least one unsaturated fatty acid.

They can contain two or more carboxylic acid groups.

As indicated above, the carboxylic functions of the fatty diacid dimer not involved in the ester bond with the polyol residue(s) can be involved in other ester bonds with other alcohol functions of other alcohol molecules. than the polyol(s).

These alcohol molecules or residues can be monoalcohols or polyols.

As examples of alcohol residues suitable for the present invention, mention may be made of hydrocarbon-based compounds comprising a hydroxyl function and containing from 4 to 40 carbon atoms, or for example from 6 to 36 carbon atoms, or by for example from 8 to 32 carbon atoms, or for example from 16 to 28 carbon atoms, or for example from 18 to 24 carbon atoms.

Examples of suitable monoalcohols for the present invention include, without limitation, butanol, pentanol, propanol, hexanol, heptanol, octanol, decanol, dodecanol, hexadecanol, octadecanol, eicosadecanol, phytosterol, isosterol, stearol, ketol, beheniol, etc.

The fatty diacid dimers can be derived for example from the dimerization of an unsaturated fatty acid, for example from C ₈ to C ₃₄ , or for example from C ₁₂ to C ₂₂ , in particular from C ₁₆ to C ₂₀ and for example of _C18 .

Examples of such unsaturated fatty acids include, for example, undecenoic acid, linderic acid, myristoleic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, elaidinic acid, gadolenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, erucic acid, brassidic acid and arachidonic acid, and mixtures thereof.

According to an alternative embodiment, it can be the diacid dimer from which the diol dimer to be esterified can also be derived. It may be its hydrogenated form.

The hydrogenated form of the diacid dimer can be partial or total, and can correspond, for example, to the saturated form, which is more stable with respect to oxidation.

According to another alternative embodiment, it may be the diacid dimer derived from the dimerization of linoleic acid.

According to one embodiment, the diacid dimer can be a commercial product consisting of a dicarboxylic acid containing approximately 36 carbon atoms. This product may also contain a trimeric acid and a monomeric acid, in proportions which depend on the degree of purity of the product.

Products whose diacid dimer content may be higher than 70% and others whose diacid dimer content has been adjusted to 90% or more are traditionally commercially available.

Diacid dimers, and for example dilinoleic diacids whose stability towards oxidation has been improved by hydrogenation of the double bonds remaining after the dimerization reaction, can also be found commercially.

In the present invention, any currently commercially available diacid dimer can be used.

In an esterification reaction with a diacid dimer, the average degree of esterification and the average molecular weight of the resulting ester can be adjusted by varying the ratio of diol dimer to diacid dimer.

Polyols

The term "polyol" is intended to designate any hydrocarbon-based compound comprising at least two hydroxyl functions and containing from 4 to 40 carbon atoms, or for example from 6 to 36 carbon atoms, or for example from 8 to 32 carbon atoms. of carbon, or for example from 16 to 28 carbon atoms and for example from 18 to 24 carbon atoms.

The hydrocarbon-based chains can be interrupted, if necessary, by the presence of at least one heteroatom, and for example an oxygen atom.

A polyol or polyol ester suitable for the present invention may comprise, for example, from 2 to 12 hydroxyl functions, or for example from 2 to 8 hydroxyl functions, or for example from 4 to 6 hydroxyl functions.

If necessary, the hydroxyl functions, other than those already employed in an ester bond with the diacid dimer, can also be employed, in whole or in part, in other ester bonds by reaction with acid molecules other than the diacid dimer.

The polyol or ester thereof suitable for the present invention may be selected from the group consisting of linear, branched, cyclic or polycyclic, saturated or unsaturated alcohols.

Thus, the polyol can be selected, for example, from the group consisting of a diol, a triol, a tetraol or a pentaol, or an ester thereof.

The polyol can be a diol, or an ester thereof, chosen for example from the group consisting of a fatty alcohol dimer, a monoglycerol or a polyglycerol, a C ₂ -C ₄ monoalkylene or polyalkylene glycol, the 1, 4-butanediol and pentaerythritol.

For the purposes of the present invention, the term "diol dimer" is intended to denote saturated diols derived from the hydrogenation of the corresponding diacid dimers, a diacid dimer being as defined above, and for example a diacid dimer of at least one unsaturated fatty acid.

As for the industrially produced diol dimer, it usually also contains other components, e.g. triol trimer, monoalcohol and ether compounds, depending on the degree of purification of the acid dimer and/or its lower alcohol ester, used as starting material.

As a general rule, products whose diol dimer content is greater than 70% can be used in the present invention. However, a high purity diol dimer can be used, such as a compound with a diol dimer content greater than 90%.

Thus, a diol dimer can be produced by hydrogenation, for example catalytic hydrogenation, of a diacid dimer, which is itself obtained by dimerization of at least one unsaturated fatty acid.

A suitable fatty acid can be such as those mentioned previously, and for example C ₈ to C ₃₄ , or for example C ₁₂ to C ₂₂ , or for example C ₁₆ to C ₂₀ and more particularly C ₁₈ .

According to one embodiment, the diol dimer can be obtained from the hydrogenation of dilinoleic diacid.

A diol dimer can be, for example, dilinoleol.

The diol dimer can generally be in a saturated form.

As another example of a diol dimer suitable for the present invention, mention may be made, for example, of diglycerol.

This compound is a dimer of glycerol resulting from the condensation of two molecules of glycerol, with the loss of a molecule of water.

The term "diglycerol" denotes any combination of isomers which may result from such a condensation, for example linear isomers, branched isomers and, where appropriate, cyclic isomers resulting from intramolecular dehydration of a molecule of diglycerol .

Diglycerol can be obtained via any process known to those skilled in the art and in particular those described in patent EP 0 750 848.

As examples of acid molecules which can interact with one or more hydroxyl functions of the polyol, not involved in the ester bond with the diacid dimer, mention may be made, without limitation, of molecules derived from isostearic acid, behenic acid, phytostearic acid, stearic acid or cetyl acid.

An ester suitable for the present invention can be obtained by reacting a polyol or an ester thereof with a diacid dimer, and for example a dilinoleic acid dimer, in a molar ratio of about 1.0:0.2 -1.

An ester which may be suitable for the present invention may be obtained by reacting a dimeric dilinoleic acid with a dilinoleol and, optionally, at least one additional monoalcohol chosen for example from the group consisting of behenol, isostearol, phytosterol, stearol and ketol, and mixtures thereof.

Thus, an ester used in the context of the present invention can be used in the form of a mixture of different esters, for example.

An ester suitable for the present invention can be obtained, for example, by reacting a glycerol, an isostearic acid and a dimer dilinoleic acid, for example in a molar ratio of 1.0:0.2-1.0:0, 5-0.9.

As examples of dimer dilinoleic acid esters and polyol(s), or an ester thereof, suitable for the present invention, mention may be made of the esters described in patent applications JP-A-2003- 226609, JP-A-2004-256515 and JP-A-2005-179377.
