  • Polyester plasticizers for halogen-containing polymers
    Patent number: 6706806
    Abstract: A portion of the repeating units in polyesters useful as plasticizers for rigid organic polymers are derived from diethylene glycol and at least one dicarboxylic acid. The percentage of these repeating units that can be present in polyesters that are compatible with the organic polymer into which they are incorporated is inversely proportional to the weight average molecular weight of the polyester.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: March 16, 2004
    Assignee: Velsicol Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Jiamin Lang, Franz Josef Luxem, Bruce E. Streeter, Bruce E. Stanhope, Eric R. Zimmermann
