Abstract
Abstract Ester products useful as lubricants for structural resins are obtained by the reaction of mono- and polyfunctional alcohols with high molecular weight branched- and straight-chain aliphatic monocarboxylic acids obtained from alpha -olefins containing 22 or more carbon atoms. High molecular weight acids useful for the preparation of the present esters are obtained by the free radical addition of a short-chain monocarboxylic acid to the C22+ olefin or by ozonization of the C22+ olefin. The esters of this invention provide excellent internal-external lubrication for PVC homopolymers and copolymers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
An ester derived from an aliphatic hydroxylic compound having 2 to 25 carbon atoms and 1 to 10 primary or secondary hydroxyl groups and a mixed straight-chain aliphatic monocarboxylic acid obtained by the ozonization of a C 22 + α-olefin wherein at least 90% by weight of the olefins contain 22 or more carbon atoms, said mixed acid containing less than 30% by weight acids having fewer than 21 carbon atoms, less than 20% by weight acids having greater than 35 carbon atoms and 55% by weight or more C 21-35 acids with the weight ratio of odd to even carbon content acids in the C 21-35 range being between 1.5:1 and 10:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
An ester derived from an aliphatic hydroxylic compound having 2 to 25 carbon atoms and 1 to 10 primary or secondary hydroxyl groups and a mixed straight-chain aliphatic monocarboxylic acid obtained by the ozonization of a C 22 + α-olefin wherein at least 90% by weight of the olefins contain 22 or more carbon atoms, said mixed acid containing less than 30% by weight acids having fewer than 21 carbon atoms, less than 20% by weight acids having greater than 35 carbon atoms and 55% by weight or more C 21-35 acids with the weight ratio of odd to even carbon content acids in the C 21-35 range being between 1.5:1 and 10:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The ester of claim 1 wherein the aliphatic hydroxylic compound is an aliphatic polyol or ether polyol having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms and 2 to 8 primary or secondary hydroxyl groups.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
67 words
The ester of claim 3 wherein the mixed straight-chain aliphatic monocarboxylic acid contains less than 20 weight percent acids having fewer than 21 carbon atoms, less than about 10 weight percent acids having more than 35 carbon atoms and greater than 70 weight percent C 21-35 acids with the ratio of odd to even carbon content acids in the C 21-35 range being between 1.75:1 and 4:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
