Procedure

114.5 g of myristic acid and 38.9 g of calcium hydroxide were stirred at 35° to 40° C., and 0.3% acetic acid was added as catalyst. The mass initially underwent slight compaction but then changed into a white voluminous powder. During the reaction, the temperature rose to 70°-80° C. The total stirring time was 3 minutes. A white voluminous powder having a Ca content of 13.6%, a melting temperature of 180° to more than 250° C., and an acid value of 1.6 was obtained.
