Abstract
The invention relates to nonyl alcohols with a low degree of branching and derivatives produced using them. In particular the present invention relates to mixture of primary nonyl alcohols in which at least 80% of the alkyl chains are linear and at least 15% of the alkyl chains are branched at the 2-carbon position and its derivatives. The low degree of branching produces derivatives that are more elongated and less bulky that similar derivatives produced with more highly branched alcohols.
Claims8
A mixture of nonyl alcohols comprising at least 80% linear nonyl alcohols and at least 15% of branched nonyl alcohols having branching at the 2-carbon position.
A plasticizer comprising a diester of a mixture of nonyl alcohols comprising at least 80% linear nonyl alcohols and at least 15% of branched nonyl alcohols having branching at the 2-carbon position with one or more diacids.
A plasticizer comprising a polyester of a mixture of nonyl alcohols comprising at least 80% linear nonyl alcohols and at least 15% of branched nonyl alcohols having branching at the 2-carbon position with one or more polyacids.
An alcohol derivative comprising a polyalkoxylate, sulfate, sulfated polyalkoxylate, or ether amine of a mixture of nonyl alcohols comprising at least 80% linear nonyl alcohols and at least 15% of branched nonyl alcohols having branching at the 2-carbon position.
