Reaction Steps

To a 4 neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a packed column, a Dean-Starke trap, a condenser, and a thermocouple connected to a temperature control device, was added 1762.7 parts of linoleic acid, 737.3 parts trimethylol propane, and 2.5 parts Fastcat 4201. This was heated to 210° C. over the course of 90 minutes. After about 60 minutes into the heat up, water started coming over and the temperature was 166° C. After another 70 minutes at 210° C., about 84 parts of reaction water were obtained. After heating another 80 minutes the batch had an acid number of 3, and a hydroxyl number of 243.7. The mixture was cooled and discharged.
