PROCESSES FOR MAKING HIGH PURITY RENEWABLE SOURCE-BASED PLASTICIZERS AND PRODUCTS MADE THEREFROM

摘要

Presently disclosed are high purity unsaturated fatty acid esters with an ester moiety characterized by having from five to seven members in a ring structure, which esters when epoxidized find particular utility as primary plasticizers in flexible polyvinyl halide applications. Also disclosed are processes for making the high purity esters.
