  • Starting materials for improved radiation-hardenable diluents
    Patent number: 5292965
    Abstract: Radiation curable compositions containing outstanding reactive diluents have been developed. The diluents are lower alkyl ether acrylates and methacrylates of particular alkoxylated and non-alkoxylated polyols.Examples are mono-methoxy trimethylolpropane diacrylate, mono-methoxy neopentyl glycol monoacrylate and mono-methoxy, ethoxylated neopentyl glycol monoacrylate having an average of about two moles of ethylene oxide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 1993
    Date of Patent: March 8, 1994
    Assignee: Diamond Shamrock Chemicals Company
    Inventors: Francis A. Higbie, Robert A. LieBerman, Rose Ira M.

  • Radiation-hardenable diluents
    Patent number: 4382135
    Abstract: Radiation curable diluents have been developed which are acrylic acid esters of alkoxylated 1,6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol and tripropylene glycol, each having a relatively low degree of alkoxylation. Examples are diacrylates of adducts of neopentyl glycol with two moles, four moles and six moles, respectively, of ethylene oxide and with two moles and four moles, respectively, of propylene oxide.
