Abstract:
Polymeric flame retardants comprise halogenated aromatic compounds having acylamino functional groups which are chemically bonded to cyclic imide-containing or imide-forming polymers or copolymers, which polymeric flame retardants have, e.g., the following Formula 1 or II: in which the units occur, e.g., in the polymer backbone; R1 and R2 are, e.g., hydrogen; and G is a flame retardant group attached to the unit by an acylamino functional group having linked thereto a halogenated aromatic ring. The polymeric flame retardants are prepared by the reaction of halogenated aromatics containing a reactive hydrazido group with some or all of the anhydride groups of an cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride polymer or copolymer to form pendant halogenated-aromatic-substituted imide or amic acid groups. In addition, polymeric flame retardants are used to render thermoplastic resins less flammable under conditions which promote combustion. Novel flame retardant hydrazides are disclosed.
Abstract:
N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amine-hydrazides of dicarboxylic acids contain a light stabilizing group, a heat stabilizing group, a 5-membered lactam ring and a reactive hydrazide functionality in the same molecule. The reactive stabilizers can be prepared by reacting 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidines with dialkyl itaconates 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. They are also useful in the stabilization of inert polymeric systems against the degradative effects of heat and light when merely mixed with, rather than reacted with, the polymers for which stabilization is sought.
