  • Deodorizing agent for sulfur-or nitrogen-containing initiators
    Publication number: 20040242818
    Abstract: Cationic initiator compositions for initiating cationic polymerization which contain a sulfur- or nitrogen-containing initiator, such as a sulfonium salt photoinitiator, and a deodorizing agent are disclosed. The deodorizing agent reduces undesirable odors, such as the organosulfur/mercaptan/thio odor generated by the decomposition of the sulfonium salt initiator upon initiation. The deodorizing agent may be a free radical inhibitor or phenolic compound such as methylether of hydroquinone, toluhydroquinone and hydroquinone. Processes for making and using the composition are also disclosed.

  • Polymer compositions and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20040171780
    Abstract: A process comprising the steps of a) reacting in an esterification reaction (i) a plurality of different plyols with; (ii) a plurality of different polycarboxylic acids and/or precursors therefor; in a manner to retain a plurality of free hydroxy groups in the resultant polyester(s) and retain substantial amounts of un-crosslinked polyesters in the resultant product; followed by b) reacting substantially all of the free hydroxy groups present in the resultant mixture of polyesters with an acrylating agent; to form a mixture having a hydroxy (OH) number (measured using ASTM E222-73) of no more than about 100 mg KOH/g. Use of the mixture as a composition for lithographic or flexographic inks.

  • Semi-telechelic nitrogen-functional oligomer
    Patent number: 6451951
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oligomer with a semi-telechelic nitrogen-functionality and at least one ethylenic unsaturation pendant to the backbone of the oligomer. In addition, a process is provided to prepare the semi-telechelic nitrogen-functional oligomer. The semi-telechelic nitrogen-functional oligomer is useful as a dispersant for pigments in radiation curable formulations.
