Features & Benefits
- Performance Benefits
- Lithium Ricinoleate speeds up the alcoholysis step considerably
- Produces lighter-color monoglycerides
- Eliminates precipitates (insoluble soap formation) and colloidal formations associated with lime and litharge catalysts
- Much less sensitive than lime or litharge to poisoning by residual phthalic anhydride.
Applications & Uses
- Applicable Processes
- Base Chemicals End Uses
- Industrial Additives End Use
- Application Background
- Alkyd resin preparation
- Dehydrated castor oil alkyds
- Clearer, brighter alkyds
- Permanently haze-free alkyds
- Product Use Level
- Effective with oils and conventional polyols, Lithium Ricinoleate 50% should be used at a level of 0.6 - 1.4 % based on the oil content. Reaction time will vary inversely with the concentration used. The higher concentration is recommended when residual phthalates may be present in the kettle.
- In most cases, however, a level of about 0.9% catalyzes alcoholysis in a matter of minutes at 450 - 480°F to produce light-color, precipitate-free alcoholysates. The finished resins will be clear and bright and their films permanently haze-free.
