The present description provides esterified fatty acid and/or tall oil compositions and their use as alternative plasticizers in adhesives formulations. These esters demonstrate similar or improved performance over adhesives industry standard plasticizers. The description also provides methods of manufacturing and using the same, for example, to improve or modify the performance of adhesive materials, such as, hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives and hygienic adhesives.

Fatty acid and rosin acid ester compositions for use as plasticizers in adhesive formulations and associated methods of use

Aliphatically modified rosin resins are prepared by reacting rosin esters with aliphatic monomers. These aliphatically modified rosin resins are compatible with metallocene catalyzed polyolefins and other aliphatic base polymers and are used as tackifiers in combination with metallocene catalyzed polyolefins and other aliphatic base polymers to form adhesive compositions for hot melt and pressure sensitive applications.

Aliphatically modified rosin resin and tackified adhesive

Oxidized and maleated compositions, such as oxidized and maleated tall oil compositions, can be prepared and used in a variety of industrial applications, including as emulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors.

Oxidized and maleated compounds and compositions

Oxidized and maleated derivative compositions, such as chemically modified oxidized and maleated tall oil fatty acid compositions, can be prepared and used in a variety of industrial applications, including as emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, concrete admixtures, and in reverse flotation mining applications.

Oxidized and maleated derivative compositions

An oxidized and maleated fatty acid composition, especially an oxidized and maleated tall oil fatty acid-containing product useful in formulating corrosion inhibitors and for use as an emulsifier, especially for petroleum-related applications.

Maleated and oxidized fatty acids

A non-aqueous coating composition of very low volatility (i.e., low-VOC) that can be cured in a short period of time under an ambient temperature condition without the use of solvents consisting essentially of a mixture or blend of three components: (1) a complex ester made by reacting a monomeric monobasic fatty acid, a mixture of diacids and a polyol;(2) a drying oil (i.e., primarily an unsaturated fatty acid triglyceride); and (3) an unsaturated monomer of low volatility and its use for producing a coated substrate and especially a wood composite material substrate having a cured seal coat.
