CROSSLINKABLE POLYKETAL ESTERS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed herein is a crosslinkable polyketal ester obtained by the esterification of a hydrocarbon polyol by at least 2 equivalents of a ketocarboxylic acid to produce an intermediate polyketocarboxylic ester. The intermediate polyketocarboxylic ester is then ketalized to produce the crosslinkable polyketal ester, which can then be used in compositions or crosslinked.
