Abstract
Abstract The reaction product obtained by combining (i) a titanate (R 1 O) 4 Ti (particularly tetraisopropyl titanate) with (ii) 2,4-pentanedione and (iii) a substance which is either (a) at least one other titanate (R 2 O) 4 Ti (particularly tetramethyl or tetra-n-butyl titanate or mixtures thereof) or (b) at least one alcohol R 3 OH (particularly methanol or n-butanol or mixtures thereof) wherein R 2 and R 3 differ from R 1 and are each methyl, ethyl, 2-chloroethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, 2-pentyl, 3-methylbutyl, 2-methoxyethyl, or methoxyethoxyethyl and the titanate:pentanedione mol ratio is in the range between 1:1 and 1:2. The quantity of said substance is sufficient, even in the presence of a nucleating agent, to depress the freezing point of the reaction product obtained by combining said first-mentioned titanate with 2,4-pentanedione. Also methods of preparing the reaction product are disclosed.
