Summary Esters of xylitol with linseed and soybean fat acids were prepared. An average of four of the five hydroxyl groups in xylitol could be esterified, one group being lost by dehydration. These esters were evaluated in paints. Although thixotropy and crawling were objectionable in the soybean ester paints, the speed of drying and loss of residual tack were superior in comparison to the corresponding properties of paints containing only soybean oil as the vehicle.
