Esters of linear monounsaturated dicarboxylic acids for lubricants

Abstract

Dibasic esters constitute a viable segment of oleochemical-and petrochemical-based lipid products, such as adipates, phthalates, succinates, sebacates, and "dimer acids," used in plasticizers, cosmetics, lubricants, paint thinners, colorant diluents, and other industrial oil products.
