POLY(2,2,6,6-TETRAMETHYLPIPERIDYLAMINOSPIROGLYCOLETHER-1,3,5-TRIAZINES)

Abstract: Poly-2,2,6,6 tetramethyl piperidyl amino spiro glycol ether-1,3,5,-triazines are provided having the formula: in which: R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl having from one to about eighteen carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl having from two to about six carbon atoms; epoxyalkyl having from three to about eight carbon atoms; alkylaryl or aralkyl having from seven to about eighteen carbon atoms; acyl having from two to about eight carbon atoms; and oxyl; each of R₁ and R₂ is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl having from one to about eighteen carbon atoms; hydroxy alkyl having from two to about six carbon atoms; alkoxy alkyl having from one to about eight carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety, dialkylaminoalkyl having from one to about eight carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety,and alkylene forming a heterocyclic ring including the nitrogen atom in the ring having from four to seven carbon atoms and no or one oxygen atom; and n is a number from 2 to about 40 representing the average number of units enclosed by the brackets; and synthetic resin compositions containing the same as light stabilizers.

Description: Polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS resins, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethanes, etc. are subject to degradation and discoloration upon exposure to light, with a resulting deterioration in mechanical strength. Various kinds of light stabilizers therefore have been processed to inhibit such deterioration. However, the available light stabilizers are unsatisfactory in stabilizing effect, are unstable to heat, and subject to oxidation, and are extracted by water or organic solvents. Some stabilizers impart color to the polymers. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl piperidine compounds do not impart color to the polymer, and therefore are widely used as light stabilizers. However, many piperidine compounds are unstable to heat, and therefore unsatisfactory in stabilizing effect. They are volatile, and are lost from the polymer at high polymer working temperatures, and are extracted by water. The piperidine compounds containing a triazine ring in the molecule are in many cases preferred because of their improved heat stability.

The molecular weight of the product determined by highspeed liquid chromatography was 8000. Small amounts of the piperidyl triazinyl spiro glycol ethers of this invention when combined with synthetic resin improve the light stability of the resin. The amount of the piperidyl triazinyl spiro glycol ethers is generally within the range from 0.001 to 10 parts by weight, preferably from 0.01 to 3 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of resin. Synthetic resins that can have their resistance to deterioration enhanced with piperidyl triazinyl spiro glycol ethers according to this invention include α-olefin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, poly-3-methylbutene, or mixtures thereof and with copolymers other monomers such as ethylene- vinyl acetate copolymer; ethylene-propylene copolymer, polystyrene; polyvinyl acetate; polyacrylic esters; copoly­ mers from styrene and another monomer (for example, maleic an­ hydride, butadiene, and acrylonitrile); acrylonitrile-butadiene-­ styrene copolymer, acrylic acid ester-butadiene-styrene copoly­ mer, methacrylic acid ester-butadiene-styrene copolymer, poly- methacrylate esters such as polymethacrylate; polyvinyl alcohol; polyvinyl formal; polyvinyl butyral; linear polyesters, polyamides; polycarbonates; polyacetals; polyurethanes; cellulosic resins; phenol-formaldehyde resins; urea-formaldehyde resins; melamine-formaldehyde resins; epoxy resins; unsaturated polyester resins; silicone resins; halogen-containing resins such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl­ idene fluoride, and copolymers thereof, and rubbers such as isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, epichlorohydrin rubber, chloroprene rubber, and blends of any of the above. The piperidyl triazinyl spiro glycol ethers of the invention can be combined with conventional heat stabilizers such as phenolic antioxidants, polyvalent metal salts of organic acids, organic phosphites, thioethers, and other known heat stabilizers, thereby constituting light and heat stabilizer compositions of the invention. The phenolic antioxidant contains one or more phenolic hydroxyl groups, and one or more phenolic nuclei, and can con­ tain from about eight to about three hundred carbon atoms. In ad­ dition, the phenolic nucleus can contain an oxy or thio ether group. The alkyl-substituted phenols and polynuclear phenols, because of their molecular weight, have a higher boiling point, and therefore are preferred because of their lower volatility. There can be one or a plurality of alkyl groups of one or more carbon atoms. The alkyl group or groups including any alkylene groups between phenol nuclei preferably aggregate at least four carbon atoms. The longer the alkyl or alkylene chain, the better the compatibility with polypropylene, inasmuch as the phenolic compound then acquires more of an aliphatic hydrocarbon character, and therefore there is no upper limit on the number of alkyl carbon atoms. Usually, from the standpoint of avail­ ability, the compound will not have more than eighteen carbon atoms in an alkyl, alicyclidene and alkylene group, and a total of not over fifty carbon atoms. The compounds may have from one to four alkyl radicals per phenol nucleus. The phenol contains at least one and preferably at least two phenolic hydroxyls, the two or more hydroxyls being in the same ring, if there is only one. In the case of bicyclic phenols, the rings can be linked by thio or oxyether groups, or by alkylene, alicyclidene or arylidene groups. The monocyclic phenols which can be employed have the structure: R is selected frown the group consisting of hydrogen; halogen; and organic radicals containing from one to thirty carbon atoms, such as alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, and acyl where R′ is aryl, alkyl or cycloalkyl, x₁ and x₂ are integers from one to four, and the sum of x₁ and x₂ does not exceed six. The polycyclic phenol phenol is one having at least two aromatic nuclei linked by a polyvalent linking radical, as defined by the formula: wherein Y is a polyvalent linking group selected from the group consisting of oxygen; carbonyl; sulfur; sulfinyl; aromatic, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon groups; and oxyhydro­ carbon, thiohydrocarbon and heterocyclic groups. The linking group can have from one up to twenty carbon atoms. Ar is a phenolic nucleus which can be a phenyl or a polycarbocyclic group having condensed or separate phenyl rings; each Ar group contains at least one free phenolic hydroxyl group up to a total of five. The Ar rings can also include additional rings connected by additional linking nuclei of the type Y, for example, Ar-Y-Ar-Y-Ar. m₁ and m₂ are numbers from one to five, and n₁ and n₂ are numbers of one or greater, and preferably from one to four. The aromatic nucleus Ar can, in addition to phenolic hydroxyl groups, include one or more inert substituents. Examples of such inert substituents include hydrogen, halogen atoms, e.g., chlorine, bromine and fluorine; organic radicals containing from one to thirty carbon atoms, such as alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy and acyloxy where R′ is aryl, alkyl or cyclo­ alkyl, or thiohydrocarbon groups having from one to thirty carbon atoms, and carboxyl groups. Usually, however, each aromatic nucleus will not have more than eighteen carbon atoms in any hydrocarbon substituent group. The Ar group can have from one to four substituent groups per nucleus. Typical aromatic nuclei include phenyl, naphthyl, phenanthryl, triphenylenyl,anthracenyl, pyrenyl, chrysenyl, and fluoroenyl groups. When Ar is a benzene nucleus, the polyhydric polycyclic phenol has the structure: wherein R₁, R₂ and R₃ are inert substituent groups as described in the previous paragraph; m₁ and m₃ are integers from one to a maximum of five; m₂ is an integer from one to a maximum of four; x₁ and x₃ are integers from zero to four, and x₂ is an integer from zero to three; y₁ is an integer from zero to six and y₂ is an integer from one to five, preferably one or two. Preferably, the hydroxyl groups are located ortho and/or para to Y. Exemplary Y groups are alkylene, alkylidene, and alkenylene; arylene, alkyl arylene, arylalkylene; cycloalkylene, cycloalkylidene; and oxa- and thia-substituted such groups; tetrahydrofuranes, esters and triazino groups. The Y groups are usually bi, tri or tetravalent, connecting two, three or four Ar groups. However, higher valency Y groups connecting more than four Ar groups, can also be used. According to their constitution, the Y groups can be assigned to subgenera as follows: 1) Y groups where at least one carbon in a chain or cyclic arrangement connect the aromatic groups, such as: 2) Y groups where only atoms other than carbon link the aromatic rings, such as and -(S) x - Where x is a number from one to ten; 3) Y groups made up of more than a single atom including both carbon and other atoms linking the aromatic nuclei, such as: Although the relation of effectiveness to chemical structure is insufficiently understood, many of the most effective phenols have Y groups of subgenus 1), and accordingly this is preferred. Some of these phenols can be prepared by the alkylation of phenols or alkyl phenols with polyunsaturated hydrocarbons such as dicyclopentadiene or butadiene. Representative phenols include guaiacol, resorcinol monoacetate, vanillin, butyl salicylate, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-­ methyl phenol, 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxy phenol, 2,4-dinonyl phenol, 2,3,4,5-tetradecyl phenol, tetrahydro-α-naphthol, o-, m- and p-cresol, o-, m- and p-phenylphenol, o-, m- and p-xylenols, the carvenols, symmetrical xylenol, thymol, o-, m- and p-nonylphenol, o-, m- and p-dodecyl-phenol, and o-, m- and p-octyl-phenol, o-, and m-tert-butyl-p-hydroxy-anisole,p-n-decyloxy-phenol, p-n-decyloxy-cresol, nonyl-n-decyloxy-­ cresol, eugenol, isoeugenol, glyceryl monosalicylate, methyl-p-­ hydroxy-cinnamate, 4-benzyloxy-phenol, p-acetylaminophenol, p-stearyl-aminophenol, methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate, p-di-­ chlorobenzoyl-aminophenol, p-hydroxysalicyl anilide, stearyl-(3,5-di-methyl-4-hydroxy-benzyl) thioglycolate, stearyl-β-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-t-butylphenyl) propionate, distearyl-­ 3,5,-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylphosphonate, and distearyl­ (4-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-t-butyl) benzylmalonate.

A particularly desirable class of polyhydric polycyclic phenols are the dicyclopentadiene polyphenols, which are of the type: in which R₁ and R₂ are lower alkyl, and, can be the same or different, and n is the number of the groups enclosed by the brackets, and is usually from 1 to 5. These are described in U.S. patent No. 3,567,683, dated March 2, 1971 to Spacht. A com­ mercially available member of this class is Wingstay L, exem­ plified by dicyclopentadiene tri-(2-tert-butyl-4-methyl-phenol) of the formula: The polyhydric polycyclic phenols used in the invention can also be condensation products of phenols or alkylphenols with hydrocarbons having a bicyclic ring structure and a double bond or two or more double bonds, such as α-pinene, β-pinene, dipentene, limonene, vinylcyclohexene, dicyclopentadiene, allo-ocimene, isoprene and butadiene. These condensation products are usually obtained under acidic conditions in the form of more or less complex mixtures of monomeric and polymeric compounds. However, it is usually not necessary to isolate the individual constituents. The entire reaction product, merely freed from the acidic condensation catalyst and un­ changed starting material, can be used with excellent results. While the exact structure of these phenolic condensation products is uncertain, the Y groups linking the phenolic nuclei all fall into the preferred subgenus 1. For method of prepara­ tion, see e.g., U.S. patent No. 3,124,555, U.S. patent No. 3,242,135, and British patent No. 961,504. When the stabilizer composition is used in conjunction with a polyvalent metal salt of an organic acid, the organic acid will ordinarily have from six to twenty-four carbon atoms. The polyvalent metal can be any metal of Group II of the Periodic Table, such as zinc, calcium, cadmium, barium, magnesium and strontium. The alkali metal salts and heavy metal salts such as lead salts are unsatisfactory. The acid can be any organic non-nitrogenous monocarboxylic acid having from six to twenty-four carbon atoms. The aliphatic, aromatic, alicyclic and oxygen-containing heterocyclic organic acids are operable as a class. By the term "aliphatic acid" is meant any open chain carboxylic acid, substituted, if desired, with nonreactive groups, such as halogen, sulfur and hydroxyl. By the term "alicyclic" it will be understood that there is intended any cyclic acid in which the ring is nonaromatic and composed solely of carbon atoms, and such acids may if desired have inert, nonreactive substituents such as halogen, hydroxyl, alkyl radicals, alkenyl radicals and other carbocyclic ring structures condensed therewith. The oxygen-containing hetero­ cyclic compounds can be aromatic or nonaromatic and can include oxygen and carbon in the ring structure, such as alkyl-­ substituted furoic acid. The aromatic acids likewise can have nonreactive ring substituents such as halogen, alkyl and alkenyl groups, and other saturated or aromatic rings condensed therewith. As exemplary of the acids which can be used in the form of their metal salts there can be mentioned the following: hexoic acid, 2-ethylhexoic acid, n-octoic acid, isooctoic acid, capric acid, undecylic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, margaric acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, behenic acid, chlorocaproic acid, hydroxy capric acid, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, butyl benzoic acid, ethyl benzoic acid, propyl benzoic acid, hexyl benzoic acid, salicylic acid, naphthoic acid, 1-naphthalene acetic acid, orthobenzoyl benzoic acid, naphthenic acids derived from petroleum, abietic acid, dihydroabietic acid, hexahydrobenzoic acid, and methyl furoic acid. The water-insoluble salts are preferred, because they are not leached out when the plastic is in contact with water. Where these salts are not known, they are made by the usual types of reactions, such as by mixing the acid, or anhydride with the corresponding oxide or hydroxide of the metal in a liquid solvent, and heating, if necessary, until salt formation is complete. A variety of organic triphosphites and acid phosphites can be employed, of which the following are exemplary. The organic triphosphite can be any organic phosphite having three or more organic radicals attached to phosphorus through oxygen. The acid phosphite can be any organic phosphite having one or two organic radicals attached to phosphorus through oxygen. These radicals can be monovalent radicals, in the case of the triphosphites, diphosphites and monophisphites. The organic triphosphites in which the radicals are monovalent radicals can be defined by the formula: in which R₁, R₂ and R₃ are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, and cycloalkyl groups having from one to thirty carbon atoms. The acid phosphites are defined by the same formula, but one or two of R₁, R₂ and R₃ is hydrogen or a cation of a metal or ammonium. Also included are the organic triphosphites having a bivalent organic radical forming a heterocyclic ring with the phosphorus of the type: in which R₄ is a bivalent organic radical selected from the group consisting of alkylene, arylene, aralkylene, alkarylene and cycloalkylene radicals having from two to thirty carbon atoms, and R₅ is a monovalent organic radical as defined above in the case of R₁, R₂ and R₃; R₅ is hydrogen or a cation, in the case of the acid phosphites. Also useful organic triphosphites are mixed hetero­ cyclic-open chain phosphites of the type: More complex triphosphites are formed from trivalent organic radicals, of the type: in which R₆ is a trivalent organic radical of any of the types of R₁ to R₅, inclusive, as defined above. A particularly useful class of complex triphosphites are the tetraoxadiphosphaspiro undecanes of the formula: where R₁ and R₂ are selected from the group consisting of aryl, alkyl, aryloxyethyl, alkyloxyethyl, aryloxyethoxyethyl, alkyloxyethoxyethyl and alkyloxypolyethoxyethyl having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms. In the case of the acid phosphites, one or both of R₁ and R₂ is also hydrogen or a cation. An especially preferred class of organic triphosphites and acid phosphites have a bicyclic aromatic group attached to phosphorus through oxygen, with no or one or more phenolic hydroxyl groups on either or both of the aromatic rings. These phosphites are characterized by the formula: in which Ar is a mono or bicyclic aromatic nucleus and m is an integer of from 0 to 5. is one or a plurality of organic radicals as defined above for R₁ to R₆, taken singly or together in sufficient number to satisfy the valences of the two phosphite oxygen atoms. One or both radicals is also hydrogen, in the case of the acid phosphites, and can include additional bicyclic aromatic groups of the type (HO)m-Ar. The cation in the case of acid phosphites can be a metal, such as an alkali metal, for instance, sodium, potassium or lithium; an alkaline earth metal, for instance, barium, calcium, or a nontoxic polyvalent metal, such as magnesium, tin and zinc.

The thiodipropionic acid ester has the following formula: R₁OOCCH₂CH₂_S_CH₂CH₂COOY in which R₁ is an organic radical selected from the group con­ sisting of hydrocarbon radicals such as alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, cycloalkyl and mixed alkyl aryl and mixed alkyl cycloalkyl radicals; hydroxyalkyl and hydroxyalkyloxyalkylene radicals; and esters thereof with aliphatic carboxylic acids; and Y is selected from the group consisting of (a) hydrogen, (b) a second R radical R₂, which can be the same as or different from the R₁ radical, (c) a polymeric chain of n thiodipropionic acid ester units: _XO[OCCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂COOXO] n OCCH₂C­ H₂_S_CH₂CH₂COOZ where Z is hydrogen, R₂ or M, n is the number of thiodipropion­ ic acid ester units in the chain, and X is a bivalent hydrocarbon group of the type of R₁, that is, alkylene, alkenylene, cyclo­ alkylene, mixed alkylene-arylene and mixed alkylene-­ cycloalkylene radicals; hydroxyalkylene and hydroxyalkyloxy­ alkylene radicals; and esters thereof with aliphatic carboxylic acids; the value of n can range upwards from 0, but there is no upper limit on n except as is governed by the ratio of carbon atoms to sulfur atoms as stated below; and (d) a polyvalent metal M of Group II of the periodic table such as zinc, calcium, cadmium, barium, magnesium and strontium. The molecular weights of the R and Y radicals are taken such that with the remainder of the molecule the thiodi­ propionic ester has a total of from about ten to about sixty carbon atoms per sulfur atom. Accordingly, the various thiodipropionic acid ester species coming within the above-designated categories within the general formula can be defined as follows: (a) R₁OOCCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂COOH (b) R₁OOCCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂COOR₂ (c) R₁O[OCCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂COOX­ _O] n OCCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂COOZ (d) R₁OOCCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂COOM In the above formulae R₁ and R₂, M, X and Z are the same as before and the value of n₁ can range upwards from 1, but there is no upper limit on n₁ except as is imposed by the ratio of carbon atoms, as stated below. In the polymer (c), as in the other forms of thiodipropionic acid esters, the total number of carbon atoms per sulfur atom is within the range from ten to sixty. The R radical of these esters is important in furnishing compatibility with the polymer. The Y radical is desirably a different radical, R₂ or M or a polymer, where R is rather low in molecular weight, so as to compensate for this in obtaining the optimum compatibility and nonvolatility. Where Y is a metal, the thiodipropionic acid ester furnishes the beneficial properties of the polyvalent metal salt which is described above. The aryl, alkyl, alkenyl, and cycloalkyl groups may, if desired, contain inert, nonreactive substituents such as halogen and other carbocyclic and heterocyclic ring structures condensed therewith. Typical R radicals are, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl; isobutyl, t-butyl, amyl, isoamyl, n-octyl, isooctyl, 2-ethyl hexyl, t-octyl, decyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, allyl, hexenyl, linoleyl, ricinoleyl, oleyl, phenyl, xylyl, tolyl, ethylphenyl, naphtyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl, cyclopentyl, methylcyclohexyl, ethylcyclohexyl, and naphthenyl, hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl, glyceryl, sorbityl, pentaerythrityl, and polyoxyalkylene radicals such as those derived from diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polyoxypropylene glycol, polyoxyethylene glycol, and polyoxypropyleneoxyethylene glycol, and esters thereof with any of the organic acids named below in the discussion of the polyvalent metal salts; including in addition those organic acids having from two to five carbon atoms, such as acetic, propionic, butyric and valeric acids. Typical X radicals are alkylene radicals such as ethylene, tetramethylene, hexamethylene, decamethylene, alkyl-substituted alkylene radicals such as 1,2-propylene, arylene radicals such as phenylene methylenephenylene dimethylene phenylene and alicyclene such as cyclohexylene and cyclopentylene As exemplary of the thiodipropionic acid esters which can be used, there can be mentioned the following: monolauryl thiodipropionic acid, dilauryl thiodipropionate, butyl stearyl thiodipropionate, 2-ethylhexyl lauryl thiodipropionate, di-2-­ ethylhexyl-thiodipropionate, diisodecyl thiodipropionate, isodecyl phenyl thiodipropionate, benzyl lauryl thiodipropionate, benzyl phenyl thiodipropionate, the diester of mixed coconut fatty alcohols and thiodipropionic acid, the diester of mixed tallow fatty alcohols and thiodipropionic acid, the acid ester of mixed cottonseed oil fatty alcohols and thiodipropionic acid, the acid ester of mixed soyabean oil fatty alcohols and thiodi­ propionic acid, cyclohexyl nonyl thiodipropionate, monooleyl thiodipropionic acid, hydroxyethyl lauryl thiodipropionate, monoglyceryl thiodipropionic acid, glyceryl monostearate monothiodipropionate, sorbityl isodecyl thiodipropionate, the polyester of diethylene glycol and thiodipropionic acid, the polyester of triethylene glycol and thiodipropionic acid, the polyester of hexamethylene glycol and thiodipropionic acid, the polyester of pentaerythritol and thiodipropionic acid, the polyester of octamethylene glycol and thiodipropionic acid, the polyester of p-dibenzyl alcohol and thiodipropionic acid, ethylbenzyl lauryl thiodipropionate, strontium stearyl thiodipro­ pionate, magnesium oleyl thiodipropionate, calcium dodecyl­ benzyl thiodipropionate, and mono(dodecylbenzyl) thiodipropionic acid.

Pentaerythritol tetra dodecyl thio propionate is an example of this group. Other conventional light stabilizers can be employed, such as hydroxybenzophenones such as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-­ benzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-n-octoxy benzophenone, 2,4-dihy-­ droxybenzophenone, benzotriazoles, such as 2(2-kydroxy-5-­ methylphenyl) benzotriazoles, 2(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methyl-­ phenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole, 2(2-hydroxy-3-5-di-t-butylphenyl) 5-chlorobenzotriazole, 2(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-t-amylphemyl) benzo­ triazole, benzoates such as phenylsalicylate, 2, 4-di-t-butylphenyl­ -3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxy phenylbenzoate, nickel compounds such as nickel-2,2′-thiobis(4-t-octyl-phenolate), nickel-mono-­ ethyl(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) phosphonate, substituted acrylonitriles such as methyl-α-cyano-β-methyl-β-(p-methoxy phenyl)acrylate and oxalic anilides such as N-2-ethyl phenyl-­ N′-2-ethoxy-5-t-butyl phenyl oxalic diamide, N-2-ethyl phenyl-­ N′-2-ethoxy phenyl oxalic diamide. A sufficient amount of the stabilizer or combination is used to improve the resistance of the synthetic polymer to deterioration in physical properties when exposed to heat and light, including, for example, discoloration, reduction in melt viscosity and embrittlement. Very small amounts are usually adequate. Amounts within the range from 0.001 to 5% total stabilizers including the piperidyl triazinyl spiro glycol ethers of the invention by weight of the polymer are satisfactory. Preferably, from 0.01 to 3% is employed for optimum stabilization. The stabilizer systems of the invention are readily rendered in solid particulate form, comprising a blend of: (a) piperidyl triazinyl spiro glycol ethers light stabilizer in an amount of from 10 to 35 parts by weight; and optionally: (b) a phenolic antioxidant in an amount from 10 to 35 parts by weight; and/or (c) other heat or light stabilizers in an amount of from 10 to 35 parts by weight. The piperidyl triazinyl spiro glycol ethers light stabilizer of the invention can be employed in combination with phenolic antioxidant and/or other conventional heat and light stabilizers for the particular synthetic polymer. Thus, for example, in the case of polyvinyl chloride resins, other polyvinyl chloride resin heat stabilizers can be included, including polyvalent metal fatty acid salts such as barium and cadmium salts of the higher fatty acids; organotin compounds; and epoxy compounds; and organic phosphites. With polyolefin resins there can be employed fatty acid salts of polyvalent metals, and the higher fatty acid esters of thiodipropionic acids, such as, for example, dilauryl thio­ dipropionate. With polyamide resin compositions, polyamide stabili­ zers such as copper salts in combination with iodides and/or other phosphorus compounds and salts of divalent manganese can be used. With synthetic rubbers and acrylonitrile-butadiene-­ styrene terpolymers, other antioxidants and polyvalent metal salts of the higher fatty acids can be used. In addition, other conventional additives for synthetic polymers, such as plasticizers, lubricants, emulsifiers, anti­ static agents, flame-proofing agents, pigments and fillers, can be employed. The stabilizer or combination is incorporated in the polymer in suitable mixing equipment, such as a mill or a Banbury mixer. If the polymer has a melt viscosity which is too high for the desired use, the polymer can be worked until its melt viscosity has been reduced to the desired range before addition of the stabilizer. Mixing is continued until the mixture is substan­ tially uniform. The resulting composition is then removed from the mixing equipment and brought to the size and shape desired for marketing or use. The stabilized polymer can be worked into the desired shape, such as by milling, calendering, extruding or injection molding or fiber-forming. In such operations, it will be found to have a considerably improved resistance to reduction in melt viscosity during the heating, as well as a better resistance to discoloration and embrittlement on ageing and heating.

The light resistance of these sheets was then determined by placing strips 1 cm wide in a Weather-O-Meter, and exposing them to ultraviolet light. The time in hours was then noted for the sheets to develop a noticeable discoloration and/or embrittlement, indicating deterioration due to oxidation in the presence of ultraviolet light. The following results were obtained: The greater stabilizing effectiveness of the stabilizers of the invention as compared to the controls is apparent from the data. Examples 36 to 42 Polyurethane resin compositions were prepared using stabilizers of the invention and having the following formulation: The stabilizer was blended with the finely powdered polyurethane resin on a two-roll mill for five minutes at 70°C, and the sheet was then compression-molded at 120°C for five minutes to form sheets 0.5 mm thick.

Pieces of steel sheeting which were coated with a primer, were first coated with the priming lacquer and subsequently with the finishing lacquer. The priming lacquer was sprayed on to a thickness of 20µ, and aired for 10 minutes. Then the clear lacquer was sprayed on to a thickness of 30µ. After being aired 15 minutes the samples were stoved for 30 minutes at 140°C. The coated sheets were exposed to ultraviolet light in a Weather-O-Meter. The time in hours when degradation set in, as determined by a cracking on a surface of sheet, was noted as hours to failure, and the results are shown in Table VII. The greater stabilizing effectiveness of the stabilizers of the invention as compared to the controls is apparent from the data.
