  • Liquid benzoate ester compositions and aqueous polymer compositions containing same as plasticizers
    Patent number: 7056966
    Abstract: The addition of at least 20 weight percent of at least one member of a specified class of monobenzoates to at least one member of a specified class of dibenzoates that freeze at 28° C. or above results in a mixture that is both a liquid at this temperature and an unexpectedly effective plasticizer for many organic polymers. The plasticized polymer compositions are useful in various end use applications including adhesives and caulks.
    Type: Grant

  • Plastisol compositions comprising vinyl chloride polymers and mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic esters of diols as plasticizers
    Patent number: 6933337
    Abstract: Mixtures of esters produced by reacting a mixture of aromatic and aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with a diol containing from 2 to 12 carbon atoms are effective plasticizers for plastisols containing dispersion grade polymers of vinyl chloride. The freezing point of the present ester mixtures and their efficacy as plasticizers can be varied by adjusting the type and relative concentration of the aliphatic acid used to prepare the plasticizer. The ester mixtures can also be used as plasticizers for other organic polymers.

  • Liquid benzoate ester compositions and aqueous polymer compositions containing same as plasticizers
    Patent number: 6583207
    Abstract: The addition of at least about 30 weight percent of diethylene glycol (DEG) monobenzoate or dipropylene glycol (DPG) monobenzoate to diethylene glycol (DEG) dibenzoate, which is a solid at 28° C., results in a mixture that is unexpectedly a liquid at this temperature. The resultant mixtures are effective plasticizers for aqueous polymer compositions, including adhesives and caulks.

  • Benzoate/alkanoate ester compositions
    Publication number: 20030023112
    Abstract: Mixtures of esters produced by reacting an aromatic and an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid with a stoichiometric quantity of a diol are effective plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride and other rigid organic polymers. The freezing point of the mixtures and the efficacy of the present ester mixtures as plasticizers can be varied by adjusting the type and molar ratio of the two types of acids used to prepare the ester mixture.
