Abstract:
An amber polyester composition comprising a thermoplastic, molding grade polyester containing at least one compound, or the reacted residue of at least one compound, of each of Components I, II, III and, optionally, IV wherein Components I, II and III have the formulas: and the Component IV Compound(s) are one or more phthalocyanine compounds; whereinR is hydrogen, C1-C8-alkyl, or â€”(CH2CH2â€”O&Parenclosest;n1â€”CH2CH2â€”X wherein n1 is 1-3 and X is a polyester reactive group selected from hydroxy, carboxy, C2-C6-alkanoyloxy and C2-C6-alkoxycarbonyl; R1 is hydrogen or 1-2 groups selected from C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy or halogen; R2 and R3 each is C1-C8-alkyl, C3-C8-alkenyl, C3-C8-alkynyl, C3-C8-cycloalkyl or aryl; R2 and R3 in combination may represent a divalent group such as pentamethylene, ethyleneoxyethylene or ethylenesulfonylethylene; or R2 in combination with R1 may form an N-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-6-yl ring; R4 is C1-C8-alkyl; R5 and R6 each is hydrogen or one to two groups selected from C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy and halogen; R7 is hydrogen, â€”(â€”CH2CH2Oâ€”)â€”n1â€”CH2CH2â€”X wherein n1 and X are defined above and C1-C6-alkyl; R8 is hydrogen or one or two groups selected from C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy and halogen; R9 and R10 each is hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl, C3-C8-cycloalkyl or aryl; P is cyano, C1-C6-alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, aryl, heteroaryl, â€”CO2R11 and â€”CO2N(R12)R13, wherein R11 is C1-C6-alkyl, C3-C8-alkenyl, C3-C8-cycloalkyl and aryl: R12 and R13 each is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl, C3-C8-cycloalkyl, C3-C8-alkenyl and aryl; Q is one of the groups in the preceding definition of P; L is an organic di-, tri- or tetravalent linking group; L1 is an organic divalent linking group; L2 is an organic divalent linking group; n is an integer from 1 to 4; m is an integer from 2 to about 50; and m2 is 0, 1 or 2.
