4009.  [Process for the Production of Substitutes for Industrial Fats.] German Patent Appl. Sch 128,189, PA 621,715. filed October 8, 1943. FIAT Reel B-196, frames 545-547; PB 83,253.

In producing a substitute material for industrial fats, the oxidation products of a high-molecular paraffin hydrocarbon, such as the hard paraffin produced by the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, with a b. p. of about 300°-400°, and acid number > 100 and an ester number > 90, is directly, without previous treatment, esterified with some H₂SO₄ mixed with monovalent alcohols with at least 3 C atoms to the molecule, also produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process and b. 120°-150°. After esterification the excess alcohol is distilled off in a vacuum, washed with H₂O and bleached with active C. A brownish, nonsticky product is obtained oils and fats, softeners and leather oils.
