An oil-soluble polyester having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 1 000,000, which is a polycondensate prepared by polycondensing the following ingredients (A), (B) and (C):

Oil-soluble polyester, additive for lubricating oil, and lubricating oil

An oil-soluble polyester having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 1,000,000, which is a polycondensate prepared by polycondensing the following ingredients (A) and (B): (A) a dicarboxylic acid ingredient, and (B) a diol ingredient comprising (i) a hindered glycol represented by the following formula: HO--CH.sub.2 --CR.sup.1 R.sup.2 --CH.sub.2 --OH wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently represent a linear or branched alkyl group, and (ii) an alkylene glycol having at least 4 carbon atoms in the main chain. This oil-soluble polyester is useful as an additive for a lubricating oil.

The invention provides a sizing agent with good stability, particularly which is rapid in getting started in the neutral zone and a method of producing the same. A sizing agent for papermaking in neutral zone is characterized by a main component of said sizing agent being selected from the group consisting of a diester of rosin-based substances having a dicarboxylic acid or acid anhydride group expressed by the following formula (I), ##STR1## (in which R.sub.1 represents a rosin acid residue or maleopimaric acid, R.sub.2 represents a dihydric alcohol residue and R.sub.3 represents a maleopimaric acid residue); and 2) a polyester reaction product expressed by the following formula (I'), ##STR2## (in which R'.sub.1 and R'.sub.5 represent a rosin acid residue or an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated polybasic carboxylic acid added rosin residue, at least one of them represents .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated polybasic carboxylic acid added rosin residue, R'.sub.2 and R'.sub.4 represent polyhydric alcohol residues, R'.sub.3 represents a polybasic carboxylic acid residue being at least tribasic, x and z are integers of 1 to 3, y is 0, 1 or 2 and m and n are 1 or 2); and 3) a mixture comprising a rosin, a rosin modified by .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or or an anhydride thereof and a polyhydric alcohol ester of rosin.

Sizing agent composite for papermaking

The present invention relates to a size composition which shows an excellent sizing effect in neutral to weakly acidic papermaking. Alkanol tertiary amine and fortified rosin, incorporated in the size composition of the present invention, even when prepared as dispersions using a dispersant, are extremely poor in sizing performance in the neutral pH range, whereas the size composition obtained by mixing these components in a ratio according to the present invention and dispersing them using a surfactant specified by the present invention offers an excellent sizing in the neutral to weakly acidic pH range.

Size composition for papermaking

A method of manufacturing an aqueous O/W dispersion of fortified rosin for use in the sizing of paper by mixing the same with water and a dispersing agent by first forming a dispersion of the W/O type in the presence of the dispersing agent and then turning the first dispersion to an O/W type by sequential addition of water thereto, wherein said dispersing agent has the general formula: ##STR1## in which R is a straight- or branched-chain alkyl group having 4 to 24 C atoms, n is an integer of 6 to 20, and M.sup.+ is a cation selected from the group consisting of Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, and NH.sub.4.sup.+.
