Novel Compositions Comprising Structural Isomers Of 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol Dibenzoate and Polymer Compositions Containing Same

摘要

Novel solid benzoate ester compositions are mixtures comprising the trans- and cis-structural isomers of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol dibenzoate wherein the trans isomer constitutes from 1 to 66 or from 72 to 99 weight percent of the mixture. The properties imparted to a variety of polymer compositions, including hot melt adhesives, cannot be achieved using the commercially available mixture of these isomers.
