IMPROVED DIMERIZED FATTY ACID BASED POLYAMIDES USEFUL FOR CLEAR CANDLE AND GEL APPLICATIONS

摘要

Blooming and/or syneresis in gel formulations can be reduced or eliminated by adding to an organic mixture an effective amount of a polyamide gelling agent having a softening point of less than about 105 °C wherein the polyamide is the reaction product of one or more diamines, optionally one or more mono-amines, one or more hydrogenated C36 dimer acids, optionally one or more C2-22 dicarboxylic acids, and optionally one or more C2-22 monocarboxylic acids.
