20090200511 | Alkyl Lactyllactates and Processes of Making the Same - Provided are alkyl lactyllactate compositions that can be prepared from (1) lactide or alternatively lactic acid, and (2) a hydroxyl containing compound such as an alcohol, preferably a fatty alcohol or an alkoxylated alcohol, with (3) an acid catalyst. Preferably, the fatty alcohol contains from about 6 to 18 carbon atoms, such as lauryl alcohol. The alkyl lactyllactates can be used as surfactants, emulsifiers, skin feel agents, film formers, thickeners, rheological modifiers, etc., for personal care and other application areas. Compositions containing at least one alkyl lactyllactate are also provided. The compositions can further contain at least one surfactant. | 08-13-2009 |
20120172279 | Liquid Cleaning Compositions Containing Sulfonated Estolides and Alkyl Ester Sulfonates - Liquid cleaning compositions are described that comprise sulfo-estolide (SE) salts, particular sodium, lithium or ammonium salts of sulfo-estolides, and alkyl ester sulfonates. The liquid cleaning compositions are clear, stable and substantially free of precipitates due to the use of sodium, lithium or ammonium salts of sulfo-estolide rather than a potassium sulfo-estolide salt in the composition. The liquid cleaning compositions also have a total combined amount of saturated C16 and C18 fatty acids of less than about 5% by weight to prevent the formation of precipitates in the composition. | 07-05-2012 |
20140194646 | Alkyl Lactyllactates and Processes of Making the Same - Provided are alkyl lactyllactate compositions that can be prepared from (1) lactide or alternatively lactic acid, and (2) a hydroxyl containing compound such as an alcohol, preferably a fatty alcohol or an alkoxylated alcohol, with (3) an acid catalyst. Preferably, the fatty alcohol contains from about 6 to 18 carbon atoms, such as lauryl alcohol. The alkyl lactyllactates can be used as surfactants, emulsifiers, skin feel agents, film formers, thickeners, rheological modifiers, etc., for personal care and other application areas. Compositions containing at least one alkyl lactyllactate are also provided. The compositions can further contain at least one surfactant. | 07-10-2014 |

20100016198 | Compositions Comprising Sulfonated Estolides And Alkyl Ester Sulfonates, Methods Of Making Them, And Compositions And Processes Employing Them - Compositions comprising sulfo-estolides and alkyl ester sulfonates are described. Detergent formulations, such as laundry detergents, softeners, and other materials, containing any of these materials are disclosed, as well as personal care formulations, hard surface cleaner formulations, and automatic dishwasher detergent formulations. Laundry methods employing these formulations are also disclosed. These formulations are useful as laundry detergents and can be biodegradable, heavy duty liquids, 2× or 3× and up to 6× concentrates, low foaming, and/or effective in a high efficiency washing machine. Methods for laundering fabrics with the compositions are also disclosed. | 01-21-2010 |
20100022429 | Mixed Salts of Sulfonated Estolides and Other Derivatives of Fatty Acids, and Methods of Making Them - Sulfo-estolides and methods of making them are described. Also described are phase-stable compositions formed from mixtures of different salts of sulfo-estolides, particularly mixtures of sodium and potassium salts of sulfo-estolides, and methods of obtaining phase-stable sulfo-estolide mixed salt compositions. The sulfo-estolide mixed salt compositions can be used in detergent formulations, such as laundry detergents, household, industrial and institutional cleaning formulations, and person care products. | 01-28-2010 |

20130225409 | QUATERNIZED FATTY AMINES, AMIDOAMINES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES FROM NATURAL OIL METATHESIS - Quaternary ammonium, betaine, or sulfobetaine compositions derived from fatty amines, wherein the fatty amine is made by reducing the amide reaction product of a metathesis-derived C | 08-29-2013 |
20130225473 | SULFONATES FROM NATURAL OIL METATHESIS - Sulfonate compositions are disclosed. The compositions include alkanesulfonates, alkenesulfonates, sultones, and hydroxy-substituted alkanesulfonates. The sulfonates comprise a reaction product of a metathesis-derived C10-C17 monounsaturated acid, octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their ester derivatives with a sulfonating or sulfitating agent. In one aspect, the sulfonate composition is a sulfo-estolide made by reacting a metathesis-derived C10-C17 monounsaturated acid or octadecene-1,18-dioic acid with a sulfonating agent, optionally in the presence of a saturated fatty acid. The sulfonates are valuable for a wide variety of end uses, including cleaners, fabric treatment, hair conditioning, personal care (liquid cleansing products, conditioning bars, oral care products), paint additives, antimicrobial compositions, agricultural uses, and oil field applications. | 08-29-2013 |
