Abstract:
Disclosed is a polyester prepared from a mixture of reactants including: a) an aromatic monoacid, where the aromatic monoacid includes from 25 to 60 weight % based on the total weight of reactants; b) a polyacid, where the polyacid includes less than 90 mole % isophthalic acid; and c) a polyol having at least 3 hydroxyl groups. The mixture of reactants is substantially free of a non-aromatic monoacid, and said polyester has a dynamic viscosity of greater than 15,000 centipoise at 40° C. as measured by a Physica MCR 301 rheometer with 25 mm parallel plate and 0.1 mm gap as a function of increasing shear rate (0.1 to 10 s−1), and an acid value of less than 15 mg KOH/g. The polyacid can also be an aliphatic polyacid. Coatings comprising the same and substrates coated at least in part with such coatings are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a powder paint, comprising a polyepoxy compound, a polyester resin and customary additives, the polyester resin having an acid number ranging from 15 through 70 and a hydroxyl number of 10 or below and being substantially based on units of dicarboxylic acids, glycols and monomers of functionality three or higher, as dicarboxylic acids use is being made of at least 15 mole % of isophthalic acid and at least 5 mole % of 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid, as the glycols use is being made of at least 50 mole % of branched aliphatic glycols with 5-11 carbon atoms, which may optionally comprise an ester group, and at most 50 mole % of aliphatic glycol with 2-6 carbon atoms, and wherein the monomers have a functionality three or higher in an amount of at most 8 mole % of dicarboxylic acids plus glycols.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a thermo-shrinkable polyester film in which shrinkage uniformity is ensured in a shrinking process thus realizing superior quality of the outer appearance without causing a poorly printed state, reducing the production cost of the shrinking process and improving the productivity.
Abstract:
Crosslinked polycondensation products of: (a) polyols selected from the group consisting of: (1) polyols with three or more hydroxyl groups, (2) acetal forms of (1), and (3) mixtures thereof, and (b) polyacids selected from the group consisting of: (1) polyacids with two or more carboxylic groups, (2) anhydrides of (1), (3) esters of (1), and (4) mixtures thereof are disclosed. The resulting polyesters have a molar ratio of polyol to polyacid from about 1 :3 to about 3: 1 and are hϊghly-crosslinked. Preferred monomers are sustainable monomers such as glycerol, citric acid, fumaric acid, and sebacic acid. Two-step heating processes for preparing the high molecular weight polyesters are also provided.
