Reaction Steps

250.4 g of sodium decanolate (sodium salt of decanol) and 27.7 g of 1-decanol are treated at 200° C. with 113 g of tetraethylene glycol monobutyl ether. A clear solution has formed within 10 minutes. 142 g of high-naphthene neutral oil is added at 140° C., and the mixture is cooled to room temperature with stirring. The mixture which can be poured easily at 25° C. has the composition:
