The present invention is directed to formulations including a polymer and a plasticizer composition. The plasticizer composition is a blend of an alkyl ketal ester plasticizer and a second plasticizer selected from a cycloaliphatic compound, an ortho phthalate compound, a terephthalate compound, a benzoate ester compound, and a bio-based compound. The plasticizer composition is at least 10% by weight of the total of the polymer and the plasticizer composition.

Plasticizer blends of ketal compounds

The invention describes processes to prepare levulinic acid, formic acid and/or hydroxymethyl furfural from various biomass materials.

Process to prepare levulinic acid

The invention describes methods of preparation and compositions of plasticizers. The ketal diester products described are useful as components of polymer compositions. The products are excellent plasticizers for a variety of polymers, such as poly(vinylchloride) plastisols.

Ketal ester compounds and uses thereof

Disclosed herein is a polyhydroxy ketal adduct obtained by the esterification of a hydrocarbon polyol by at least 1.5 equivalents of a ketocarboxy to produce an intermediate ketocarboxylic ester. The intermediate polyketocarboxylic ester is then ketalized to produce the polyhydroxyketal adduct, which can be used to provide a polymeric composition.

Polyhydroxy ketal ester adducts, methods of manufacture and uses thereof

Personal care formulations containing alkyl ketal esters having the structure wherein a is 0 or an integer of 1 to 12; b is 0 or 1; Ris a divalent Cgroup optionally substituted with up to 5 hydroxyl groups; and Ris Calkyl.

Personal care formulations containing alkyl ketal esters and methods of manufacture

Disclosed herein is a dispersion comprising a liquid or semi-solid continuous phase, a dispersed solid phase comprising a plurality of organic, inorganic or inorganic-organic particles, and an alkyl ketal ester having the structure wherein a is 0 or an integer of 1 to 12, specifically 1 to 6, more specifically 1 to 4; b is 0 or 1; Ris a divalent Cgroup optionally substituted with up to 5 hydroxyl groups; and Ris Calkyl, and wherein at least a portion of the alkyl ketal ester is present in the continuous phase, on a surface of at least some of the dispersed particles, or a combination thereof.

Alkyl ketal esters as dispersants and slip agents for particulate solids, methods of manufacture, and uses thereof

Disclosed herein is a fragrant formulation comprising a fragrant composition, and an alkyl ketal ester. Disclosed herein too are methods for manufacturing the fragrant formulation.

Fragrant formulations, methods of manufacture thereof and articles comprising the same

This disclosure is directed to compound of formula (1): wherein Ris a Calkyl, Ris hydrogen or a Calkyl, each R, R, R, R, and Ris independently hydrogen or a Calkyl, a is 2-3, and b is 0-1, its method of preparation and uses thereof in water-borne coating compositions, cleaning compositions, fragrance, and personal care compositions.

Carboxy ester ketals, methods of manufacture, and uses thereof

An ionic polymer of formula VI wherein each b=0 or 1; X is hydrogen, 1/z of a metal ion of charge z, a protonated nitrogen base, or a tetrasubstituted organic ammonium compound; the molar ratio of q:r:s:t=(100-0.1):(0-99.9):(0-50):(0-30); R, Rand Rare hydrogen or Calkyl; R, R, Rand Rare hydrogen, Calkyl or F, wherein F is a functional group that imparts a property to polymer VI, at least one and no more than two of R, R, Rand Rare F and F is the same or different; G is a single bond or a Chydrocarbyl group; and for each instance of t when t is not zero, c=0-5 and d=0-5, provided that c+d=1-5, and wherein q, r and s as present in c are independent of any other value of q, r and s.
