Abstract:
Cosmetic composition comprising at least 35% by weight of a powder component and a binding component characterized in that it comprises at least one ester selected from neopentylglycol dipelargonate, glycerol tripelargonate, pentaerythritol tetrapelargonate and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
Aqueous cosmetic compositions comprising at least 20% by weight of an aqueous component and a lipophilic component characterized in that the lipophilic component comprises at least one ester selected from neopentylglycol dipelargonate, glycerol tripelargonate, pentaerythritol tetrapelargonate or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
Polyphase biodegradable compositions having a good resistance to ageing comprising a continuous phase comprising at least one hydrophobic polyester and at least one dispersed phase of polymer of vegetable origin. The hydrophobic polyester constituting the continuous phase is incompatible with the polymer of vegetable origin. The compositions comprise a plasticiser comprising at least 75% of a mixture of diglycerol, triglycerol and tetraglycerol.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process to prepare complex oligomeric structures obtained from vegetable oils. The process allows to use a mixture of triglycerides containing dicarboxylic acids produced by the oxidative cleavage of vegetable oils as a starting material, these oils being subjected to a step of heating (condensation) followed by a step of esterification with alcohols at temperatures up to 250° C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process which makes it possible to obtain a plurality of organic compounds that can be used as chemical intermediates through the use of waste cellulosic biomass as a raw material. Through this process fermentable saccharides can be extracted, separated and recovered from said waste cellulosic biomass.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a new polyester which is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of mass-produced articles characterised by excellent mechanical properties, in particular high tensile strength and tensile modulus, associated with a high barrier property against oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to polyol esters that are particularly suitable for use as insulating oils in electrical equipment where an effective cooling action is required, such as electrical transformers. In particular the invention relates to esters of trimethylolpropane with monocarboxylic acids of nine and/or ten carbon atoms, wherein the monocarboxylic acids of nine and/or ten carbon atoms comprise 5-15 mol % of branched acids and 85-95 mol % of linear acids with respect to the total moles of the monocarboxylic acids.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of 1,4-butanediol comprising the preparation of a fermentation broth comprising 1,4-butanediol from renewable sources and water, separation of a liquid fraction comprising said 1,4-butanediol and water from one or more solid fractions, said liquid fraction comprising 2-pyrrolidone in an amount higher than 80 ppm, one or more passages of the resulting liquid fraction through a bed comprising one or more cation-exchange resins thereby providing an output pH of said liquid fraction from 4 to 2, one or more passages of the resulting liquid fraction through a bed comprising one or more anion-exchange resins thereby providing an output pH of said liquid fraction from 8 to 11, and the distillation of the liquid fraction thereby provided so as to obtain a composition having a concentration of said 1,4-butanediol higher than 99.0% by weight and comprising 2-pyrrolidone in an amount lower than 6 ppm. The resulting composition should exhibit an APHA color value after ageing of less than 30.
Abstract:
This invention relates to biodegradable compositions containing at least a polyester containing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and at least a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxyalkanoates and/or aliphatic and/or aliphatic-aromatic diacid diol polyesters, which is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of mass-produced articles characterised by excellent mechanical properties, associated with a high barrier property against oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Abstract:
Mixture of at least two esters selected from neopentylglycol dipelargonate, glycerol tripelargonate, pentaerythritol tetrapelargonate, and use thereof in cosmetic compositions for the care, the make-up, the protection from the sun and for the cleansing of the skin and skin appendages.
