POLYHYDROXY KETAL ESTER ADDUCTS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed herein is a polyhydroxy ketal adduct obtained by forming an ester between of a hydrocarbon polyol and at least 1.5 equivalents of a ketocarboxy to produce an intermediate ketocarboxylic ester. The intermediate polyketocarboxylic ester is then ketalized to produce the polyhydroxyketal adduct, which can be used to provide a polymeric composition.
