This invention relates to a biodegradable polymer composition which is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of articles having a high heat deflection temperature (HDT) by injection moulding and thermoforming.

Biodegradable polymer composition for the manufacture of articles having a high heat deflection temperature

This invention relates to the use of microgranules comprising destructurized starch in a complexed form as abrasive and/or structuring agents in cosmetic, dermatological, detergent and cleansing formulations.

Use of compositions comprising destructurized starch in a complexed form as abrasives and/or structuring agents

Disclosed is the use of a composition of aliphatic esters having the following general formula: R&#x2014;O&#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;R&#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;[&#x2014;O&#x2014;R&#x2014;O&#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;R&#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;]&#x2014;O&#x2014;R, in which: Ris selected from one or more of the groups consisting of H, linear and branched saturated and unsaturated alkyl residues of the C-Ctype, and polyol residues esterified with C-Cmonocarboxylic acids; Rcomprises &#x2014;CH&#x2014;C(CH)&#x2014;CH&#x2014; and C-Calkylene groups, and comprises at least 50% in moles of the said &#x2014;CH&#x2014;C(CH)&#x2014;CH&#x2014; groups; Ris selected from one or more of the groups consisting of H, linear and branched saturated and unsaturated alkyl residues of the C-Ctype, and polyol residues esterified with C-Cmonocarboxylic acids; Rand Rcomprise one or more C-Calkylenes and comprise at least 50% in moles of Calkylenes; and m lies between 1 and 20, as plasticizers for polymer compositions, for example, vinyl polymers of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) type, thermoplastic elastomers, and hydroxy acid polyesters, for example polyesters of lactic acid.

Polymer compositions containing aliphatic esters as plasticisers

This invention relates to a family of aliphatic esters having the following general structure:R&#x2014;O&#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;R&#x2014;C(O)-[&#x2014;O&#x2014;R&#x2014;O&#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;R&#x2014;C(O)-]&#x2014;O&#x2014;R These esters are particularly suitable for use as plasticizers for various types of polymers such as for example vinyl polymers of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) type, thermoplastic elastomers, and hydroxy acid polyesters, for example polyesters of lactic acid.
