Abstract:
The present invention comprises novel single-functional and mixtures of multi-functional oligomeric performance additive compounds having one or more components of Structure A (The definitions of R, Z1, Z2, Z3, A1, A2, A3 and y are given in the Summary Section), their uses and polymeric compounds and compositions containing them which have enhanced oxidative stabilities, enhanced ultraviolet (UV) and light stabilities and/or enhanced flame retardance. An example is the bis sulfonic acid bispotassium salt reaction product from an oligomeric caprolactone diol (TONE® 260), 2-sulfobenzoic acid anhydride and potassium carbonate, and use of this product, at levels up to about 3.0%, in a general purpose bisphenol A polycarbonate resin, to enhance the fire resistance or flame retardance of the polycarbonate resin.
Abstract:
There are provided reactive hindered amine light stabilizers of the formula wherein R is e.g., hydrogen, hydroxyl or alkyl of 1 to 20 carbons; R 1 is, hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons; R 2 is, e.g., hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 20 carbons; R 3 is, e.g., a direct bond or an alkylene or branched alkylene diradical of 1 to 14 carbons; and R 4 is, e.g., hydrogen or a primary or secondary alkyl group of 1 to 8 carbons, containing a light stabilizing group, a heat stabilizing group, and a reactive hydrazide functionality in the same molecule. The reactive stabilizers are prepared by reacting 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidines with diesters (or mono ester acid chlorides) of dicarboxylic acids followed by hydrazinolysis of the ester group of the intermediate mono ester-amide. The compounds are useful for introducing permanent heat and light stability to coreactive polymers or copolymers.
Abstract:
Ultraviolet light stabilizers are chemically bound to anhydride containing polymers or copolymers. The polymeric stabilizers are prepared by the reaction of primary amino or hydrazido-substituted UV absorbers with some or all of the anhydride groups of the polymer or copolymer to form polymers with recurring units selected from the formulas
or
or both in which the units occur, e.g., in the polymer backbone and wherein x is 0 or 1, R 1 and R 2 are, e.g., hydrogen or phenyl and G is, e.g.,
wherein R 3 and R 4 are, e.g., hydrogen or R 3 or R 4 is a connecting group X 1 which is, e.g., a direct bond. The polymer bound stabilizers are not lost from the polymer system by volatilization, migration, or extraction, even at high temperature. The polymer of this invention may be used as they are or as concentrates to stabilize other polymer systems.
Abstract:
N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amic acid hydrazides contain a light stabilizing group, a heat stabilizing group and an amic acid hydrazide functionality in the same molecule. The amic acid hydrazide functionality in the compounds enhances the photooxidative stabilizing properties of the hindered amine groups and contributes thermal and oxidative stabilizing and metal complexing properties to the compounds. The novel compounds are excellent light stabilizers for polyolefins, have low volatility and are not readily lost from polymeric systems via volatilization, migration or extraction.
Abstract:
N,N'-hydrocarbylenebis[N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amic acid hydrazides] and their derivatives are useful for stabilizing polymeric systems which are subject to degradation and/or discoloration upon exposure to heat and/or light. The novel compounds contain at least two hindered amine light stabilizing groups and two hydrazide or hydrazide derivative thermal oxidative stabilizing groups. The novel compounds are excellent light stabilizers for polyolefins, have low volatility and are not readily lost from polymeric systems via volatilization, migration or extraction.
Abstract:
Polymer bound antioxidants in which the antioxidant stabilizer groups are chemically bound to polymers or copolymers by an acylaminoimide or diacylhydrazide function are prepared by reacting hydrazido substituted antioxidants with some or all of the anhydride groups of anhydride containing polymers or copolymers to form a polymer with recurring units selected from the formulas or both wherein the units occur, e.g., in the polymer backbone, x is 0 or 1, R¹ and R² are, e.g., hydrogen and G is, e.g., wherein R³ is t-alkyl of 4-8 carbons, R⁴ is, e.g., hydrogen and X¹ is, e.g., -N(R)-C(=O)-(CH₂) b - wherein R is e.g., hydrogen and b is 0, 1 or 2. The concentration of the stabilizers bound to the polymer may be readily varied depending upon the particular end-use of said polymer. Polymer with high concentrations of bound antioxidants can be used as masterbatches to stabilize other polymer systems.

There are provided polymer bound hindered amine light stabilizers with recurring units selected from or both in which the units occur, e.g., in the polymer backbone and wherein R¹ and R² are, e.g., hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons, x is an integer of 0 or 1, and G has the structure wherein X is, e.g., -Z-C(=O)-R⁹-C(=O)-N(R⁸)- where Z is, e.g., -N(R¹⁰)-, R⁹ is, e.g., a direct bond and R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁸ and R¹⁰ are, e.g., hydrogen. They are prepared by reacting hindered amine light stabilizers containing reactive hydrazide functionalities with anhydride containing polymers or copolymers. The reactions may be carried out in an inert solvent or in a melt blending step. The polymer bound hindered amine light stabilizers are useful alone or may also be used to stabilize other polymers, copolymers or polymer blends against the deleterious effects of heat and/or light.
