Estimating the term…
A unique monobenzoate useful as a plasticizer in polymeric dispersions, such as plastisols and melt compounds. The monobenzoate comprises 3-phenyl propyl benzoate, a benzoate ester heretofore known as a flavoring and fragrance agent, but not previously utilized as a plasticizer in polymeric applications. Depending on the application, the advantages rendered by the use of the inventive monobenzoate include, among other things, excellent solvating properties, low viscosity, viscosity stability, and improved rheology, as well as health, safety and environmental advantages over traditional plasticizers. The monobenzoate may be used alone or in combination with a variety of plasticizers, including but not limited to phthalates, terephthalates, dibenzoates, other monobenzoates, or 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylate esters, and mixtures thereof.
A monobenzoate useful as a non-phthalate alternative plasticizer in polymeric dispersions, comprising:
A plastisol composition comprising:
A blend of plasticizers for use in plastisol compositions, comprising 3-phenyl propyl benzoate in combination with another plasticizer comprising a phthalate ester, a phosphate ester, an adipate, an azelate, an oleate, a succinate, a sebacate, a citrate, a trimellitate, a terephthalate ester, a 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylate ester, an epoxy, a fatty acid ester, a glycol derivative, a sulfonamide, a sulfonic acid ester, benzoates, bioplasticizers, chloroparaffins, polyesters, hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives, or mixtures thereof.
A blend of plasticizers for use in plastisol compositions comprising 3-phenyl propyl benzoate in combination with any of isononyl benzoate, isodecyl benzoate, 2-ethylhexyl benzoate, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate, epoxidized soybean oil, PG disoyate, PG monosoyate, or mixtures thereof.
A blend of plasticizers for use in plastisol compositions comprising 3-phenyl propyl benzoate in combination with a solid plasticizer that is sucrose benzoate, dicyclohexyl phthalate, triphenyl phosphate, glycerol tribenzoate, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM) dibenzoate, pentaerythritol tetrabenzoate, an alkyl glycol ester, or mixtures thereof.
A method of improving the solvating and rheology properties of traditional plasticizers used in plastisol applications, comprising the step of blending the traditional plasticizer with 3-phenyl propyl benzoate.
A plasticizer for use in a plastisol composition, comprising diisononyl-1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylate blended with a dibenzoate triblend comprising 20 wt. % 1,2-propylene glycol dibenzoate and 80 wt. % of a 4:1 diethylene glycol dibenzoate:dipropylene glycol dibenzoate diblend.
