Acetals esters produced from purified glycerin for use and application as emollients, lubricants, plasticizers, solvents, coalescents, humectant, polymerization monomers, additives to biofuels |
| abstract |
The invention refers to a new group of acetal monoesters and diesters which have in its structure the ester function and cyclic ethers. These products have excellent properties as solvency, plasticity in polymers, solubility in polar and nonpolar means, spreadability, wetting, low volatility, non-toxicity and biodegradability. These properties make these products excellent candidates as solvents in formulations of pesticides, agricultural herbicides, for the paint and leather industry in domestic or industrial higiene formulations; as plasticizers for polymers such as polyvinyl chloride, nitrocellulose, cellulose, acrylics, polyvinyl vinyl and its copolymers; as lubricants in industrial formulations, textile industry; as emollients agents which donate oiliness for the cosmetic industry; as wetting agents that are commonly used, and as biodiesel additives to reduce the freezing point and to improve its combustion. |
