Abstract:
A THERMOSETTING RESIN COMPOSITION WHICH IS COMPOSED OF AN ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED POLYMERIZABLE POLYESTER, DIALLYL PHTHALATE, N-T-OCTYL ACRLAMIDE AND OPTIONALLY FILLERS, PIGMENTS AND REINFORCING AGENTS IS DESCRIBED.
Abstract:
A polymer composition containing a high proportionate amount of olefinic nitrile is stabilized against thermal discoloration by inclusion therein from about 0.05 to 2 parts by weight per hundred parts of resin of an organotin maleate compound selected from the group consisting of the hydrocarbon tin maleates and the hydrocarbon tin-bis-maleate half esters.
Abstract:
Stabilization of copolymers and graft copolymers containing a high proportionate amount of olefinic nitrile against thermal discoloration is disclosed. The stabilization is accomplished by inclusion into the polymer minor amounts of an organotin maleate compound of the formula: (R2SnC4H2O4) x wherein x is an integer of from 1 to 4 R is an alkyl of from 2 to 12 carbon atoms; and R2Sn(C4 H2O4R')2 wherein R is defined as above and R' is an alkyl of 4 to 14 carbon atoms.
