Pentyl nonyl terephthalates
View Patent ↗Mixtures containing dipentyl terephthalate, dinonyl terephthalate and pentyl nonyl terephthalate can be prepared with a predetermined distribution of the individual esters in the mixture, and used as plasticizers.
1. A composition, comprising:
polyvinyl chloride; and
30-100 parts by weight of a mixture, based on 100 parts of the polyvinyl chloride;
wherein the mixture comprises a terephthalic diester of each of the formulae I, II and III,
wherein
R 1 is an alkyl radical having 5 carbon atoms, and
R 2 is an alkyl radical having 9 carbon atoms; and
wherein the mixture comprises
3-44 mol % of the ester of formula I,
27-51 mol % of the ester of formula II, and
11-70 mol % of the ester of formula III, each based on the entirety of the esters I, II and III.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein in the formulae I, II and III, R 1 is selected from the group consisting of 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, n-pentyl and isopentyl radicals and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of nonyl, n-nonyl and isononyl radicals.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises
13-24 mol % of the ester of formula I,
46-51 mol % of the ester of formula II, and
25-41 mol % of the ester of formula III, each based on the entirety of the esters I, II and III.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises
11-29 mol % of the ester of formula I,
45-51 mol % of the ester of formula II, and
21-44 mol % of the ester of formula III, each based on the entirety of the esters I, II and III.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises less than 3 mol % of terephthalic diesters which do not fall within the definition of the terephthalic diesters of formulae I, II and III.
6. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising an epoxidized soybean oil and a heat stabilizer.
7. The composition of claim 1 , which is a plastisol.
8. An adhesive, sealant, coating material, paint, ink, plastisol, foam, synthetic leather, floorcovering, roofing membrane, underbody protection, fabric coating, cable, wire insulation, hose, extruded article, film, automotive interior article, wallcovering, liquid ink, toy, contact sheet, food packaging or medical article, comprising:
the composition of claim 1 .
