Abstract:
This invention relates to novel UV absorbers, their methods of preparation, their use in stabilizing polymers and polymers so stabilized against the degradative effects of UV light. The novel compounds of formula I are oxamides which are substituted on one or both nitrogens with a 2-hydroxy-3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)benzyl group. The 2-hydroxy-3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)benzyl groups are efficient UV absorbing groups and the oxamide group contributes additional light stabilizing, heat stabilizing and metal complexing properties to the compounds. The compounds have low-volatility and are especially useful as UV stabilizers for engineering resins processed at high temperatures.
Abstract:
Curable compositions which are precursors for cured or partially cured light stabilized epoxy resins which are the product of the reaction of some or all of the epoxy groups of an epoxy resin with an N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amic acid hydrazide as well as the cured or partially cured reaction products thereof together with processes for their use and articles of manufacture produced thereby are disclosed.
