Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to acetylated polyglyceride fatty acid ester and compositions containing the same. The acetylated polyglyceride fatty acid ester may be blended with an epoxidized fatty acid ester. The present acetylated polyglyceride fatty acid ester and blends find advantageous application as a plasticizer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to plasticizer compositions. A composition is provided which includes a castor-free acetylated glyceride of 12-hydroxystearic acid (AGHA) having a hydroxyl number from 0 to less than 15. The castor-free AGHA finds application in coatings for wire and cable.

Abstract: A prepolymer or elastomer is the reaction product of reactants (a) at least one polyester polyol or fatty acid derived polyol which is the reaction product of at least one initiator and a mixture of fatty acids or derivatives of fatty acids comprising at least about 45 weight percent monounsaturated fatty acids or derivatives thereof, (b) optionally, at least one polyol which is different from the polyol of (a); and (c) at least one isocyanate compound (herein after isocyanate) having an average of at least about 1.8 isocyanate groups per molecule. A process comprises admixing reactants (a) at least one polyol composition comprising the fatty acid derived polyol which is the reaction product of at least one initiator and a mixture of fatty acids or derivatives of fatty acids comprising at least about any of 45 weight percent monounsaturated fatty acids or derivatives thereof; and (b) at least one isocyanate having an average functionality of at least about 1.

Abstract: A composition which comprises (A) a plurality of cross-linked polymer particles, said polymer being the polymerization product of at least two monomer units selected from the group consisting of monoalkenyl aromatic compounds, alkyl esters derived from a saturated alcohol and acrylic or methacrylic acid, and vinyl esters of an aliphatic carboxylic acid; and said cross-line polymer particles being loaded with (B) an active ingredient, the weight ratio of the active ingredient (B) to the polymer particles (A) being from 0.05 to 50:1, is useful to release the active ingredient over an extended period of time while controlling sebum on skin and hair.

Abstract: A hair care composition which comprises a plurality of cross-linked polymer particles, said polymer being the polymerization product of at least two monomer units selected from the group consisting of monoalkenyl aromatic compounds, alkyl esters derived from a saturated alcohol and acrylic or methacrylic acid, and vinyl esters of an aliphatic carboxylic acid is useful for controlling sebum on hair without providing undue whiteness to the hair.
