Emorganks Now There9 s Plenty Of The Purest Of All Dimer Acids Empol® 1010—newest addition to the extensive line of Emery dimer acids—is available in unlimited quantity. Initially called "Emery 3713-R", Empol 1010 is the lightest-colored, purest dimer acid ever made commercially. New processing techniques have produced a product with approximately 97-98% dimer acid (C36 dibasic acid), negligible monomeric acid (Cie monobasic acid), and extremely low unsaturation. Color is typically 1 on the Gardner scale. With its high dibasic acid content, Empol 1010 is well suited for preparation and modification of high molecular weight polymers, e.g. film-and-fiber forming polyamides, polyesters, and urethane polyesters. Its low degree of unsaturation keeps undesirable side reactions to a minimum. Lighter-colored derivatives are now possible, too, due to the light color and excellent color stability. Commercial development of dimer acids was pioneered by Emery, with introduction in 1950. The complete line now includes the following—all commercially available:

Emery dimer acids are now used in surface coatings, bodied oils, alkyd resins and oils, epoxy ester coatings, urethane coatings, polyamide resins, epoxy potting compounds, soaps, corrosion inhibitors, metalworking compounds, plasticizers, flexible unsaturated polyesters, elastomers, adhesives, crystallization inhibitors, greases, oil well drilling muds, and as polymerization emulsifiers. Availability of Empol 1010 makes modification of high polymers a new area worthy of your investigation.

Continuous research keeps Emery synthetic ester base stocks abreast of changing performance requirements for military and commercial engine lubricants, where engine speed and temperature continue to climb. Emolein® Lubricant Esters provide jet lubricants with the following characteristics: superior resistance to oxida tion and corrosion, low volatility, high flash point, ex cellent lubricity, maximum engine cleanliness. A.S.T.M. slopes are low, fluidity at low temperatures, best available. Emolein Lubricant Esters are also used as base fluids in specialty greases requiring long-time performance or high performance at very low temperatures. You'll find a critical evaluation of Emery's synthetic ester base stocks can pay dividends in improved lubricant performance. What's more, Emery's basic position in constituent azelaic and pelargonic acids helps assure a reliable and continuous source of supply.
