Novel solid benzoate ester compositions are mixtures comprising the trans- and cis-structural isomers of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol dibenzoate wherein the trans isomer constitutes from 1 to 66 or from 72 to 99 weight percent of the mixture. The properties imparted to a variety of polymer compositions, including hot melt adhesives, cannot be achieved using the commercially available mixture of these isomers.

Compositions comprising structural isomers of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol dibenzoate and polymer compositions containing same

Plastisols and organosols are provided that include plasticizers that include mono-, di- and triesters of glycerol. The plasticizers are good solvators for polyvinyl chloride and impart low plastisol and organosol viscosities.

Plastisols containing glycerol esters as plasticizers

Novel ester compositions are prepared by reacting 1) at least one diol, glycol or oligomeric glycol with 2) a mixture of at least one aromatic monocarboxylic acid and at least one aliphatic monocarboxylic acid containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms. The compositions are effective plasticizers for a variety of polymers, particularly those employed in water-borne adhesives. The freezing point of the present ester mixtures and their efficacy as plasticizers and other types of additives and/or modifiers for a variety of polymer compositions can be varied by adjusting the relative concentrations of the aromatic and aliphatic acids used to prepare the ester composition.

Mixed aryl/alkyl diester compositions

Both the viscosity of a plastisol comprising a dispersed polymer, a plasticizer for the polymers and at least one liquid diluent, and exudation of liquids from articles formed from the plastisol are minimized when the difference between 1) the weighted average of the Hildebrand solubility parameter values of all liquid ingredients, including plasticizer, in the plastisol and 2) the Hildebrand solubility parameter of the dispersed polymer is &#xb1;0.6 to &#xb1;1. The plastisols of the present invention are suitable for fabrication into films and molded objects, and as coating materials for a variety of metallic and non-metallic substrates.

Organosol plastisol compositions

This invention provides film-forming compositions, including but not limited to polishes, coatings, adhesives and inks, comprising a at least one acrylic or vinyl acetate polymer or copolymer as a film-forming ingredient and, as the plasticizer, a blend in specified proportions of a) the benzoate of a 6-carbon monohydric alcohol, b) diethylene glycol dibenzoate and c) diethylene glycol monobenzoate.

Film forming compositions containing mixtures of benzoic acid esters

Plastisols are provided which are effective for providing a foamed composition having an improved color. The plastisol includes a dispersed phase and a liquid phase. The dispersed phase includes an organic polymer and the liquid phase includes a plasticizer for said polymer. The plasticizer utilized has a hydroxyl number of about 30 or greater, and an acidity of not less than about 0.1% as benzoic acid.
