FLOW PROCESS FOR CONJUGATING UNCONJUGATED UNSATURATION OF FATTY ACIDS

摘要

A B S T R A C TA flow process for conjugating unconjugated unsaturation of fattyacids in the presence of alkali metal hydroxide under at least autogenicpressure at elevated temperature with control of the cis/trans to trans/transratio of the conjugated fatty acid product. The conjugated fatty acid productfinds utility in the manufacture of alkyd paints, lacquers, varnishes, dryingoils and waxes, and the like because of their superior drying properties andgood performance which they contribute to such paints.
