| abstract |
The invention concerns a formulation comprising non-fat softeners based on wax-esters, whereof the constituents have a molecular weight less than 600 Dalton, preferably less than 450, comprising: fatty acid and fatty alcohol esters derived from interesterification by said one fatty alcohol of triglycerides of an oil of natural origin, preferably a vegetable oil; and residual triglycerides, diglycerides and monoglycerides derived from said interesterification. The invention is characterised in that it comprises at least two said wax-esters whereof at least one said wax-ester is a hydrogenated wax-ester including: fatty acid hydrogenated esters derived from the interesterification by one said fatty alcohol, triglycerides of a natural oil, preferably of vegetable origin followed by hydrogenation of said esters; and residual hydrogenated triglycerides, diglycerides and monoglycerides derived from said interesterification, followed by said hydrogenation. |
