Description

Patented Aug. 30, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING DRIERS Netherlands No Drawing. Application October 15, 1935, Se-
rial No. 45,146. In Germany October 27, 1934 4 Claims.
It is well known that driers are manufactured by heating fatty acid, resinie acid, naphthenic acid or vegetable oil with suitable metal compounds whereby the corresponding metal soaps 5 are formed.
Usually linolic acid is the fatty acid used. In place thereof it has already been proposed to use the fatty acids of wood oil and of late also the acids derived from castor oil have been suggested.
The known processes utilizing the acids from castor oil or the glycerol ester of the acid, are used for the manufacture of driers with a high content of metal and, as a matter of fact, about twice the quantity of metal has been used or taken up by the castor oil, as compared with other prior known processes.
There is, for example, a known cobalt drier which is manufactured from castor oil fatty acids. and has a cobalt content of at least about 15%.
These driers obtained from castor oil acids are relatively difficultly soluble in oil, turpentine or turpentine substitute. In order to dissolve them in oil, the latter must be heated to about 200 C.
Cobalt linoleate with a content of 6% cobalt is pasty. In order to dissolve it in linseed oil, temperatures of 150 C. must be applied. Products with still higher cobalt content require correspondingly higher temperatures to effect solution.
It hasbeen found that driers may be manufactured which have a normal metal content and which may be dissolved in linseed oil even at temperatures of 100 C. and which are soluble in turpentine or in a substitution product of turpentine at an ordinary temperature. The expression .normal metal content means that amount or content of metal in the finished drier which replaces exactly the hydroxyl hydrogen of the hydroxy fatty acid radical. The method of producing such drying agents is as follows:
40, Castor oil or other oils containing hydroxy groups are caused to react with suitable metal compounds or, if desired, with metals which themselves enter easily into reaction, and with only so much of the latter that one hydrogen atom 45 in each fatty acid radical of the glyceride is substituted by metal. 7
In this way a drying agent is obtained which has merely a normal metal content, i. e., only the hydroxyl hydrogen of the acid radical is replaced 50 by metal.
For castor oil and cobalt a product with a maximum content of about 8% of cobalt is obtained, the manganese product has about 5% of manganese, the lead product about 29% of lead.
The temperature at which the oil and the metal compound are allowed to act on each other may not exceed 250 C. and the metal may not be applied in excess in view of the circumstance referred to above, since otherwise the final products are not soluble at a low temperature.
The following examples illustrate the manner in which the invention may be carried into effect:
Example 1.Castor oil is heated to 200 C. and so much of a suitable cobalt compound is added that the final product contains 7% of cobalt. Subsequently the mixture is heated further with stirring until solution is achieved, the temperature being at 220 C. A paste of a brown-red colour is obtained which dissolves in oil at 100 C.
Example 2.In the same way as in Example 1, castor oil is heated with so much litharge that the final product contains 29% of lead. It is of importance to see that the temperature does not exceed 220 C. in order to avoid saponification of the castor oil.
By the expression metals ordinarily employed in the production of driers and similar expressions, I have referenceto cobalt, manganese and lead.
I claim:
1. A drier for paints, varnishes and the like comprising a castor oil metal compound in which substantially only the hydroxyl hydrogen of the acid radical is replaced by a drier metal, which drier may be dissolved in linseed oil at 100 C.
2. A drier for paints, varnishes and the like comprising a castor oil metal compound in which substantially only the hydroxyl hydrogen of the acid radical is replaced by a drier metal.
3. Process for the manufacture of driers from castor oil which consists in heating said castor oil with one of the class consisting of metals and compounds of metals ordinarily employed in the production of driers in such proportions that substantially onlyrthe hydroxyl hydrogen of the fatty acid radical is replaced by a drier metal.
4. Process for the manufacture of driers in which castor oil is subjected to the action of one of the class consisting of metals and compounds of metal ordinarily employed in the production of driers at a temperature not exceeding 250 0., the metal or metal compound being employed in such proportion that in the resulting drier substantially only the hydroxyl hydrogen of the fatty acid radical is substituted by a drier metal.
