Latest Patents

One of Peet’s patents describes a process for producing a bis-glycolate ester of a metal salt of 5-sulfo isophthalate. The process brings the salt, or a dialkyl ester of the salt, into contact with a glycol in the presence of a catalyst. The disclosed catalyst systems use titanium compounds alongside selected solubility promoters or complexing agents and phosphorus sources. The patent also describes using the resulting ester to produce cationic dyeable polyalkylene terephthalate.

Another patent concerns polymers of 2,2-disubstituted-3-hydroxypropionic acid, including polymers of beta-propiolactone. These polymers are used in ceramic compositions as binders or dispersing agents.
