Abstract
Abstract Esters made from C3 to C6 polyols having 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups and mixtures of monocarboxylic acids containing up to 50 mole % C7 to C14 aromatic acids and at least 50 mole % C4 to C14 aliphatic acid, and esters made from said acid mixtures and C8 to C40 polyol ethers containing at least 2 hydroxyl groups and at least 1 ether group are useful as insulating oils in electrical equipment.
