Patent number: 8729289Abstract: A method for performing a flying grade switch in an ester production process, which preferably is operated in semi-continuous mode, maximizes plant equipment productivity while minimizing product cross-contamination. Mixed ester products of the process containing a C9-C11 alkyl or isodecyl benzoate together with a higher molecular weight di-alkyl phthalate or cyclohexanoate, bring performance advantages such as improved permanence in plasticized PVC articles or improved processability in manufacturing these articles.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Nicolaas Anthony De Munck, Allen David Godwin, Thomas Marshall Larson, Paul H. Daniels, Didier Naert

Patent number: 8653184Abstract: Esters of cyclohexane polycarboxylic acids are used as plasticisers for polyvinyl chloride to enable products with comparable mechanical properties to be obtained using less polyvinyl chloride. Use of these esters also produces formulations with increased stability to ultra-violet light, improved low temperature properties, lower viscosity and improved processability as well as reduced smoke on burning. The esters of cyclohexane polycarboxylic acids may be used alone or in admixture with other plasticisers when the esters of cyclohexane polycarboxylic acids may act as viscosity depressants. Fast fusing plasticisers may also be included. The formulations and processes of making these formulations are particularly useful in the production of a range of goods from semi-rigid to highly flexible materials and are particularly useful in the production of medical materials, toys, and food contact articles.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Claudius P. Gosse, Thomas M. Larson, Pierre J. P. Legrand, Raphael F. Caers, Paul H. Daniels, Allen D. Godwin, Didier Naert

Patent number: 5534652Abstract: A process for the formation of esters from at least one phthalic anhydride residue stream produced from the vapor phase oxidation of o-xylene, naphthalene and/or the like which comprises: (a) adding a phthalic anhydride residue stream and a mono-alcohol to a reaction vessel to form a reaction mixture; and (b) heating the reaction mixture and maintaining a pressure sufficient to obtain boiling of the reaction mixture thereby converting any acid and/or anhydride components of the phthalic anhydride residue stream to an ester.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1994Date of Patent: July 9, 1996Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patents Inc.
