Definitions
- train oils are frequently not uniform in their composition; moreover, they may be partly split into fatty acids and contaminated by separations of salts.
- the prior art therefore has already attempted to split train oils into the corresponding fatty acids and to manufacture from these, by re-esterification, uniform and qualitatively more valuable products. This process is cumbersome, however, and does not lead to satisfactory results.
- the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of low-temperature resistant, liquid fatty acid esters, which can be used in particular in place of natural train oils or sperm oil in the preparation of fat liquoring agents in the leather industry.
- low-temperature resistant, liquid fatty acid esters with a proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids are characterized in that A. adducts of l to mols of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide to train-oil fatty acids or liquid fatty acid mixtures containing train-oil fatty acids with a content of 10 to 60 per cent by weight of polyunsaturated fatty acids of chain lengths C to C are esterified with liquid fatty acids or mixtures of fatty acids with a content of more than 75 per cent by weight of monoor di-unsaturated fatty acids of chain lengths C to C which are substantially free of any polyunsaturated train-oil fatty acids, or
- B. adducts of l to 10 mols of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide on liquid fatty acids or mixtures of fatty acids with a content of more than 75 per cent by weight of monoor di-unsaturated fatty acids of chain lengths C to C which are substantially free of polyunsaturated train-oil fatty acids, are esterified with train-oil fatty acids or with mixtures containing train-oil fatty acids with a content of 10 to 60 per cent by weight of polyunsaturated fatty acids of chain lengths C to C
- the invention also relates to the'manufacture of these liquid fatty acid esters and relates to partially or wholly sulfated products therefrom.
- R CO is the acyl of at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of (a) train-oil fatty acids and (b) liquid fatty acid mixtures containing train-oil fatty acids and containing from 10 to 60 per cent by weight of polyunsaturated fatty acids having 20 to 24 carbon atoms
- CO-R is the acyl of at least one liquid fatty acid substantially free of any polyunsaturated train-oil fatty acids, and having more than per cent by weight of unsaturated fatty acids selected from the group consisting of (i) monounsaturated fatty acids having 10 to 22 carbon atoms (ii) diunsaturated fatty acids having 10 to 22 carbon atoms, and (iii) mixtures thereof
- R is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl
- n is an integer from 1 to 10, with the proviso that up to 20 mol per cent of either R CO or COR can be
- the present invention further provides a process for producing the above fatty acid esters liquid at low temperatures in which either (A) the fatty acid R COOH is adducted with 1 to 10 mols of the alkylene oxide and then esterified with the fatty acid R -COOH, or (B) the fatty acid R COOH is adducted with l to 10 mols of the alkylene oxide and ten esterified with the fatty acid R,COOH.
- the present invention is further directed to a fatliquoring agent selected from the group consisting of (a) from O to per cent by weight of the aforesaid liquid fatty acid esters, (b) from 0 to 100 per cent by weight of the sulfation products of the aforesaid liquid fatty acid esters having a degree of sulfation of from 15 to 60 per cent, and (c) from O to 100 per cent by weight of the sulfonation products of the aforesaid liquid fatty acid esters having a degree of sulfonation of from 15 to 60 per cent, with the proviso that the total of (a), (b), and (c) is 100 per cent by weight.
- a fatliquoring agent selected from the group consisting of (a) from O to per cent by weight of the aforesaid liquid fatty acid esters, (b) from 0 to 100 per cent by weight of the sulfation products of the aforesaid liquid fatty acid est
- the present invention is also directed to a fatliquoring agent composition consisting essentially of (I) from 1 to 10 per cent by weight of the fat liquoring agent described above, (II) from 0 to 10 per cent by weight of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, and the mixtures thereof, and (III) the balance to 100 per cent by weight of water.
- the present invention moreover provides an improvement in the process for fat-liquoring of leather comprising contacting leather with a fat-liquoring agent and recovering said fat-liquored leather; the improvement which comprises contacting said leather with the above-described fat liquoring agent.
- the starting material in case (A) above are train oil fatty acids, in particular fish-oil fatty acids, such as those obtained from herring oil menhaden oil or sardine oil.
- train-oil fatty acids contain from 10 to 60 per cent by weight of polyunsaturated fatty acids having 20 to 24 carbon atoms, preferably having 20 to 22 carbon atoms. The number of double bonds in these fatty acids depends upon the origin of the train-oil; and there is on the average from 2.1 to 5.3 double bonds per fatty acid molecule.
- the remaining fatty acids of the mixture comprises 40 to 90 per cent of a mixture comprising 65 to 100 per cent by weight of monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fatty acids having 14 to 18 carbon atoms, such as alkenoic acids having 14 to 18 carbon atoms, for example oleic acid, alkadienoic acids having 14 to 18 carbon atoms, for example linoleic acid, and alkatrienoic acids having 14 to 18 carbon atoms, for example linolenic acid; and this mixture further comprises to 35 per cent by weight of saturated fatty acids having ID to 22 carbon atoms, such as alkanoic acids having to 22 carbon atoms.
