Abstract
Disclosed are petrolatum-like compositions that include metathesized unsaturated polyol esters. Also disclosed are emulsions that include metathesized unsaturated polyol esters. The petrolatum-like compositions may be used as substitutes for petroleum-based petrolatum. The emulsions may be water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions and may be suitable for a variety of end uses.
Claims16
An emulsion comprising a dispersed phase and a continuous phase, wherein the dispersed phase comprises an unsaturated polyol ester composition, which comprises metathesis oligomers of unsaturated esters of glycerol and one or more stabilizers;
- wherein at least 30 percent by weight of the unsaturated esters of glycerol in the unsaturated polyol ester composition are metathesis oligomers having four or more unit oligomers;
- and
- wherein no more than 25 percent by weight of the unsaturated esters of glycerol in the unsaturated polyol ester composition are metathesis dimers.
