Verwendung von Estergruppe enthaltenden Silikonwachsen als Verdickungsmittel in Oel

Use of silicone waxes of formula (I) to thicken oily media in which the main fatty phase is selected from 6-22 (pref. 14-20)C fatty aliphatic alcohols (opt. unsatd. and opt. contg. one or more O atoms) or their acetate esters, ethers of polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol and 4-22 (pref. 10-20)C fatty alcohols, aliphatic diesters of 2-10 (pref. 2-8) C dicarboxylic acids, natural or synthetic triglycerides, aliphatic isoparaffinic or paraffinic oils, opt. hydrogenated polyisobutene oils and volatile silicone oils: n ≥ 2, pref. 3; A = -O-C(O)- or -C(O)-O-; R = 21-30C aliphatic gp.; p = 1-100, pref. 1-10 (integer or decimal number); q = 5-100, pref. 10-100 (integer or decimal number); p/p+q = number such that the (CH2)nAR content is 50-250 (pref. 100-250) milli-equivs./100 g of wax; provided that the wax has a m.pt. of at least 40 degrees C. The fatty phase pref. contains oleic alcohol, isopropyl adipate, PPG-3 myristyl ether, PPG-4 myristyl ether, PPG-4 lauryl ether, PPG-10 cetyl ether, a mixt. of cetyl acetate and acetylated lanolin alcohol, triglyceride caprylic acid, corn oil, raisin seed oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, squalane, opt. hydrogenated polyisobutene, vaseline oil, hexamethylsiloxane, cyclomethicone D4 or D5.
