The present disclosure generally relates to a compound of dialkyl ester of 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid, a method of preparing the compound, a polymer composition comprising a polymer and the compound, a method of preparing the polymer composition, a polymer product comprising the polymer composition and a method of using the compound as a plasticizer in the polymer product. The dialkyl ester of 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid of the present disclosure has greater plasticizing efficiency in a polymer composition that that of the standard phthalate and terephthalate-based plasticizers. The polymer product plasticized with the dialkyl ester of 2,4-furandicarboxylic acid may have improved flexibility, durability, processability and safety as compared to the same polymer product plasticized with conventional phthalate and terephthalate-based plasticizers.

The invention presented in this document relates to processes for the preparation of a formulation containing poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and aliphatic and/or aromatic polyesters which plasticize it, and its use in monofilaments and films. The presence of polyesters does not remove the biodegradability and composting characteristics of the raw materials used in the formulation. The invention also concerns products that use the formulation.

Provided is a rubber for a textile roller and a preparation method therefor. The main material of the rubber for a textile roller is a nitrile butadiene rubber, added with conductive powder and conductive bands to form a net-node structure in the nitrile butadiene rubber by means of a mixing process, so that the rubber for a textile roller has a high electric conductivity, can timely export static electricity, and has good mechanical performance suitable for a textile roller, applicable in components of a spinning frame, a roving frame, a drawing frame and other textile machines.

The present disclosure describes thermoformable sheets capable of retaining an absorbing stain, pigmented sealer or clear sealer. The unique resin binder formulations and products include porosity-promoting agents that result in the resin binder having a porous surface capable of being stained, while still having the favorable properties of traditional Thermofoil products. The methods of the invention produce a Thermofoil product that can be stained with a variety of stains and colorants after manufacturing to suit the individual builder's or homeowner's preference.

The disclosure relates to a composition for use in tires. The rubber composition comprises a blend of a rubber component and based on 100 parts by weight (phr) of the rubber component, from 50 to 200 phr of a filler, from 0 to 25 phr of a plasticizer, and from 5 to 90 phr dimeric decarboxylated rosin (DDCR). The DDCR resin comprises 50 to 100 wt. % of polycyclic hydrocarbon compounds having one or more aliphatic, unsaturated, or aromatic groups, and 34-80 carbon atoms, with a molecular weight M.sub.n of 250-900 Da, a polydispersity index of 1.0-1.35, and an oxygen to carbon ratio of <5%.
