Abstract
Abstract Polyamide resins of fatty acids are prepared by reacting polymeric fatty acids, an alkylene diamine, monoaminoalcohol and a chain stopping agent which includes a particular branched chain monocarboxylic fatty acid which is liquid at room temperature. The use of this particular chain stopping agent provides polyamide resins which are resistant to gelling during storage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
198 words
A polyamide resin resistant to gelling comprising the polycondensation reaction product of a reaction mixture of an alkylene diamine, a polymeric fatty acid and a monocarboxylic fatty acid chain stopping agent, said polymeric fatty acid having less than about 2 percent by weight of monobasic acids, from about 75 to 96 percent by weight of dibasic acids and from about 4 to about 25 percent by weight of tribasic or higher acids, said chain stopping agent including a branched chain monocarboxylic acid which is liquid at room temperature and which is selected from the group consisting of C 16 - C 20 saturated and unsaturated fatty acids wherein there are from 1 to 5 total carbons in the branching groups and the branching groups are from C 1 - C 4 , the total number of amine groups and hydroxyl groups (if any) in said reaction mixture being substantially equivalent and no more than about 10 percent more or less than the total number of carboxylic groups provided by said polymeric fatty acid and said monocarboxylic fatty acid chain stopping agent, said chain stopping agent contributing from about 8 to about 16 percent of the total carboxylic groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
