Patent ID: 8735324

Claim:
A composition comprising at least one esteramide compound having the formula (I) below: R 1 OOC-A-CONR 2 R 3 (I) in which: R 1 is a radical selected from among saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, optionally cyclic, optionally aromatic hydrocarbon-based radicals having an average number of carbon atoms ranging from 1 to 36; R 2 and R 3 , which may be identical or different, are each radicals selected from among saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, optionally cyclic, optionally aromatic, optionally substituted hydrocarbon-based radicals having an average number of carbon atoms ranging from 1 to 36, with the proviso that R 2 and R 3 may optionally together form a ring member that is optionally substituted and/or that optionally contains a heteroatom; and A is a branched divalent alkyl radical having an average number of carbon atoms ranging from 2 to 12, wherein said composition is formulated as a phytosanitary cleaning, degreasing, stripping, lubricating, coating, or pigment/ink composition and where said at least one esteramide compound having the formula (I) solubilizes and/or coalesces other ingredients in said composition.
