Disclosed is a shrink film containing a copolyester having a minimum crystallization half-time of at least 8.6 minutes and a polyester plasticizer having a weight-average molecular weight of 900 to 12,000 g/mol. The polyester plasticizer includes (i) a polyol component comprising residues of a polyol having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and (ii) a diacid component comprising residues of a dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 12 carbon atoms.

Convert an alkylene to a product stream that comprises an alkanol by subjecting a gaseous combination of a) an alkylene selected from ethylene, propylene or a combination thereof, b) carbon monoxide, c) hydrogen and, optionally, d) at least one hydrocarbon or gas diluent other than ethylene or propylene to reductive hydroformylation conditions in combination with a solid phase, sulfided, heterogeneous catalyst.

Diesters of 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylate are surprisingly more efficient PVC plasticizers and fuse PVC faster and at a lower temperature than similar phthalates or terephthalate diesters. Hydrogenated orthophthalate diesters are slower fusing, i.e., require higher temperatures, than do the corresponding orthophthalate diesters.
