Abstract

A vegetable oil-based alkoxylate composition comprising a mixture of mono-, di-, and/or triacyl alkoxylated glycerides and alkoxylated glycerin. A method of reacting a vegetable oil and an alkoxylated glycerin via a transesterification reaction to produce a vegetable oil-based alkoxylate composition.

Claims (23)

1. A vegetable oil-based alkoxylate composition, comprising a mixture of:

Monoacyl alkoxylated glyceride having a Formula I:

Diacyl alkoxylated glyceride having a Formula II:

Triacyl alkoxylated glyceride having a Formula III:

and

Alkoxylated glycerin having a Formula IV:

wherein R is a C 8 -C 24 saturated or unsaturated alkyl group; R′ is H, CH 3 , CH 2 CH 3 , or a combination thereof; and x, y, and z each range from 2 to 100 and the sum of x, y, and z is in a range of from 6 to 300 for each of Formulas I, II, III, and IV, and

wherein the weight ratio of (a) the total amount of mono-, di-, and triacyl alkoxylated glycerides having Formulas I, II, and III to (b) the amount of alkoxylated glycerin having Formula IV is between 3.5:1 and 27:1.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of (a) the total amount of mono-, di-, and triacyl alkoxylated glycerides having Formulas I, II, and III to (b) the amount of alkoxylated glycerin having Formula IV is between 3.5:1 and 4:1.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein R′ is H.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the sum of x, y, and z for each of Formulas I, II, III, and IV is in a range of from 10 to 25.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has a hydroxyl value in a range of from 75 to 350.

6. A cement mortar composition comprising a cement and the composition of claim 1 .

7. A pigment dispersion, comprising:

a pigment,

a solvent, and

the composition of claim 1 .

8. A detergent composition, comprising:

the composition of claim 1 ; and

at least one of a surface active agent, an enzyme, an enzyme stabilizer, a hydrotrope, a rheology modifier, an anti-redeposition polymer, an optical brightener, a preservative, a dye, and a fragrance.

9. An agrochemical formulation comprising:

the composition of claim 1 ; and

a pesticidally effective amount of a pesticide or a mixture of pesticides.
