A method is provided for producing a di-acetal of sorbitol and an aromatic aldehyde wherein an aqueous solution containing a catalytic amount of a mineral acid and sorbitol is formed. Thereafter, an effective amount of an aromatic aldehyde such as benzaldehyde is incrementally admixed into the homogeneous aqueous admixture containing the sorbitol at a rate sufficient to allow a substantially spontaneous reaction to occur between the D-sorbitol and aromatic aldehyde; thus, forming an aqueous slurry containing crude di-acetal, e. g. , dibenzylidene sorbitol. The amount of aromatic aldehyde employed is that amount sufficient to provide a molar ratio of D-sorbitol to aromatic aldehyde of from about 1:0. 75 to about 1:1. 75. Thereafter, the aqueous slurry is neutralized, and crude di-acetal is removed from the liquid phase and washed with water to remove mono-acetal impurities, e. g.

A method of forming a colored polymer coating on a substrate is disclosed which comprises mixing a reactive polymer, a reactive colorant, and a linking agent, and reacting the linking agent with the reactive polymer and reactive colorant under suitable conditions to form the colored polymer coating. The polymer from which the coating is formed has reactive groups which can react with the linking agent. The reactive colorant has the general formula: R-[polymeric constituent-X]. sub. n wherein R is an organic dyestuff radical; the polymeric constituent is selected from polyalkylene oxides and copolymers of alkylene oxides in which the alkylene moiety of the polymeric constituent contains 2 or more carbon atoms; n is an integer from 1 to about 6; and X is a reactive moiety. The linking agent has a reactive group capable of reacting with reactive groups in the polymer and a reactive group capable of reacting with the reactive moiety of the reactive colorant. A method of coating a substrate with a lightfast colored polymer finish is also disclosed which comprises forming a colored polymer coating on the substrate in accordance with the method described above and then overcoating the colored polymer coating with a second polymer layer containing an ultraviolet absorber.
