Summary
Drying oils have been prepared by the direct esterification of methyl alpha-D-glucoside and linseed fatty acids. Litharge is an effective catalyst for this reaction. These methyl alpha-D-glucoside oils possess more rapid bodying characteristics at 310°C. (590°F.) than similar synthetic glycerol or pentaerythritol oils.
With Bakelite BR-254 resin the methyl alpha-D-glucoside oils cook rapidly into 25-gallon oil length varnishes that dry quickly to hard films with good alkali and water resistance and excellent adhesive properties.
