Disclosed is the use of glycol ether aryl ester plasticizers as viscosity reducing agents in plastisols comprising di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate, 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester, or diisononyl phthalate as the primary plasticizer. The glycol ether aryl ester plasticizers improve viscosity and viscosity stability while maintaining or improving plastisol properties such as Shore A Hardness and fusion time.

Glycol ether aryl ester plasticizer

The present application discloses novel cyclohexane dicarboxylate mixed esters of formula I: wherein R, R, and n are defined herein. The mixed esters are useful as plasticizers. The application also discloses resin compositions comprising the cyclohexane dicarboxylate mixed esters of formula I.

Cyclohexane dicarboxylate mixed ester compositions useful as plasticizers

Resin compositions, layers, and interlayers comprising two or more thermoplastic polymers and at least one RI balancing agent for adjusting the refractive index of at least one of the resins or layers is provided. Such compositions, layers, and interlayers exhibit enhanced optical properties while retaining other properties, such as impact resistance and acoustic performance.

Poly(vinyl acetal) resin compositions, layers, and interlayers having enhanced optical properties

Multilayered interlayers having good acoustic properties comprising a stiff skin layer(s) and a soft core layer(s) are disclosed. The multilayered interlayers comprise: a first polymer layer (skin layer) comprising plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin; a second polymer layer (core layer) comprising plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin; wherein at least one plasticizer is a high refractive index plasticizer. The multilayered interlayers have low mottle and resist mottle formation.

Multiple layer interlayer having improved optical and sound insulation properties
