Abstract: Use of a composition consisting essentially of a mixture of aliphatic esters as a slip agent in a polyester polymer, said composition comprising at least two esters selected from the group comprising: Myristyl myristate, Myristyl palmitate, palmityl myristate, palmityl palmitate, palmityl stearate, stearyl myristate, stearyl palmitate, stearyl stearate, stearyl arachidate and stearyl behenate.

Abstract: Use of a compound of general formula (1) as a slip agent in a PET polymer, wherein: R and R1 represent hydrocarbon moieties, each hydrocarbon moiety comprising 6 to 24 carbon atoms and wherein R and/or R1 may be linear, branched chain, saturated or contain one or more double a bonds; X represents one of the moieties (a), wherein A represents a hydrocarbon moiety comprising 2 to 36 carbon atoms and may be linear, branched chain, saturated or contain one or more double bonds.

Abstract: Use of a composition consisting essentially of a mixture of aliphatic esters as a slip agent in a polyester polymer, said composition comprising at least two esters selected from the group comprising: Myristyl myristate, Myristyl palmitate, palmityl myristate, paimityl palmitate, palmityl stearate, stearyl myristate, stearyl palmitate, stearyl stearate, stearyl arachidate and stearyl behenate.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to acridone and acridine compounds of formula (I), wherein either: (a) K is ?O, L is —H, alpha is a single bond, beta is a double bond, gamma is a single bond (acridones): or, (b) K is a 9-substituent. L is absent, alpha is a double bond, beta is a single bond, gamma is a double bond and wherein: J1 is a 2- or 3-substituent; J2 is a 6- or 7-substituent; J1 and J2 are each independently a group of the formula —NHCO(CH2)nNR1R2, wherein: n is an integer from 1 to 5; and, R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, C1-7alkyl, C3-20heterocyclyl, or C5-20aryl, or R1 and R2, taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a heterocyclic ring having from 3 to 8 ring atoms; and wherein, when K is a 9-substituent, K is a group of the formula —N(RN)Q, wherein: RN is an amino substituent and is hydrogen.
