Abstract: Provided is a process for making non-phthalate plasticizers, by acylating an aromatic compound with a succinic anhydride to form a keto-acid, and then esterifying the keto-acid with C4-C13 OXO-alcohols to form a plasticizer compound. The aromatic rings of the aromatic compound may also be optionally hydrogenated.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to compositions for nail coatings, and particularly, but not by way of limitation, to polymerizable compositions. The disclosure further relates to methods of making a polymerizable, protective and scratch resistant topcoat layer that can be easily removed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a photocurable composition which contains a photobase generator capable of generating a satisfactory amount of a base in a high quantum yield when irradiated even with a small quantity of light for a short time, and contains a curable compound that is rapidly cured by the generated base such that the composition is cured into a cured product. The photocurable composition comprises: a photobase generator (A) which is a salt of a carboxylic acid (a1-1) represented by the following formula (1-1) with a basic compound (a2), and a curable compound (B) which has, in one molecule thereof, at least two functional groups selected from among epoxy group, (meth)acryloyl group, isocyanato group, acid anhydride group, and alkoxysilyl group, where R1 to R7 in the above formula (1-1) each are hydrogen or an organic group, R1 to R7 may be the same or different, and two of R1 to R7 may be bonded to each other to form a ring structure.

Abstract: A polybenzoxazole precursor is represented by the following formula (1): wherein R1a to R4a, R1b to R4b, X1, Y1 and m are defined in the specification.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a macro-photoinitiator comprising a photoinitiator covalently bound to a polymer. Also disclosed herein is a process for the enzymatic polymerization of monomers and photoinitiators performed at atmospheric pressure and relatively low temperatures to form the macro-photoinitiator.

Abstract: This patent application relates to an ultraviolet ink for surface printing. The ultraviolet ink includes: between 10% to 30% by weight of n-butyl acetate, between 10% to 30% by weight of acrylic resin, between 20% to 40% by weight of polyvinyl chloride urethane resin, between 15% to 35% by weight of monomer and between 3% to 8% by weight of photoinitiator. The advantages of using the ultraviolet ink made by the above-mentioned formula for plastic UV spraying surface printing include high wear resistance, hard to fall off, simplified preparation process and lower production cost.
