Abstract
Abstract This invention is directed to a half ester characterized by the following empirical formula: <IMAGE> (I) <IMAGE> wherein n is a number having an average value of 1.7 to 2, and m is equal to 2-n. Also described herein is a composition comprising said half ester, maleic anhydride and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, wherein at least 75 mole percent of the half ester is in the maleate form.
