Abstract
Abstract For coating carbon paper waxes are required which are not only capable to disperse high amounts of carbon black but also have good oil binding properties. For this purpose natural waxes carrying ester groups are treated with oxygen until they have a high carbon black absorption. The waxes are oxidized in the melt. They can also be oxidized in admixture with hydrocarbon waxes or the derivatives thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A process for the manufacture of a carbon paper wax having a carbon black absorption in the range of from 80 to 140% by weight and an oil binding temperature of at least 30° C. by treating a molten natural wax having ester wax character with an oxygen-containing gas, which comprises treating the molten wax at a temperature in the range of from its melting point to 250° C with oxygen, air, or another oxygen-containing gas in an amount of from 0.01 to 10 m 3 per hour and per kilogram of wax, throughout the treatment maintaining the oxygen in excess and intensely mixing same with the wax, continuing the treatment until a carbon paper wax is obtained having a carbon black absorption within said range, thereby producing a wax having an acid number which does not exceed the acid number of the starting wax.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A process for the manufacture of a carbon paper wax having a carbon black absorption in the range of from 80 to 140% by weight and an oil binding temperature of at least 30° C. by treating a molten natural wax having ester wax character with an oxygen-containing gas, which comprises treating the molten wax at a temperature in the range of from its melting point to 250° C with oxygen, air, or another oxygen-containing gas in an amount of from 0.01 to 10 m 3 per hour and per kilogram of wax, throughout the treatment maintaining the oxygen in excess and intensely mixing same with the wax, continuing the treatment until a carbon paper wax is obtained having a carbon black absorption within said range, thereby producing a wax having an acid number which does not exceed the acid number of the starting wax.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
6 words
The wax product of claim 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1, wherein prior to the oxygen treatment the natural wax is subjected to a treatment with a solvent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1, wherein prior to the oxygen treatment the natural wax is subjected to a treatment with an absorbent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1, wherein prior to the oxygen treatment the natural wax is subjected to a heat treatment.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1, wherein prior to the oxygen treatment the natural wax is subjected to an oxidative bleaching.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 1, wherein prior to the oxygen treatment the natural wax is subjected to esterification.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1, wherein prior to the oxygen treatment the natural wax is subjected to saponification or amidation.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
45 words
The process of claim 1, wherein crude montan wax, peat wax, bark wax, candelilla wax, carnauba wax, ouricury wax, esparto wax, rice wax, sugar cane wax, maize wax, or beeswax in deresinified or non deresinified form is used as natural wax having ester wax character.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1, wherein a mixture of natural waxes having ester wax character is used.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
41 words
The process of claim 1, wherein a mixture of a natural wax having ester wax character and a hydrocarbon wax or a modification product thereof containing at most 50% by weight of hydrocarbon wax or the modification product thereof is used.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the treatment with air or another oxygen-containing gas is performed in the presence of a catalyst.
