Description: Polyvinyl chloride resins have a relatively low resistance to deterioration when exposed to elevated temperatures and to ultraviolet light, and various types of compounds have been combined therewith to improve their resistance to such deterioration. Metal compounds, such as lead carboxylates and other polyvalent metal salts Of carboxylic acids, as well as organotin compounds, have been widely used, alone and in combinations with other compounds such as epoxy compounds, aminocrotonates, d ipheny 1 urea, alpha-phenyl indole, orthoesters, and dihydropyridines. The epoxy compounds are known not only as stabilizers but also as plasticizers. Epoxides such as Bisphenol A, diglycidylether, epoxidized unsaturated fatty acid esters, triglycidylisocyanurate and epoxidized polybutadiene have been used. The 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine compounds have also been combined with polyvinyl chloride resins to improve their resistance to ultraviolet light, and epoxy compounds have been used with 2,2,6,6 tetramethyl piperidyl compounds for this purpose. However, some 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl piperidyl compounds impart a color to the polyvinyl chloride resin when heated. Soma, Moromura, Yoshioka and Kurumada U. S. patent No 4,371, 644, patented February 1, 1983, provide piperidine derivatives having the general formula: EMI2.1 in which: R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; X represents one of the groups of formulae -CH,-, EMI2.2 Y represents one of the groups of formula WH2CH(OZ)CH2- [OCH2CH(OZ)CH2]2-, -CH2CH(OZ)CH2-[OCH2CH(R24)]m-OCH2CH (OZ)CH2- and -CH2CH(OZ)CH2-[OWO-CH2CH(OZ)CH2]n While these compounds are prepared by linking two or more piperidine rings with polyglycidyl compounds, the resulting compounds do not contain axirane rings EMI2.3 and are not good heat and light stabilizers for polyvinyl chloride resins.

The reaction can be carried out in the presence of an inert organic solvent, but if the reactants are liquids, a solvent is unnecessary. The proportion of piperidine compound to polyepoxide is within the range from 0. 01 to 0. 05, preferably from 0. 03 to 0.3, moles of piperidyl group per mole of reacted oxirane group in the polyepzide. The following Examples illustrate preparation of these compounds. Example I BisphenolA diglycidylether, 50 grams, and tetra(2, 2, 6, 6tetramethyl-4 piperidyl)-1, 2, 3, 4-butanetetracarboxylate, 10 grams, were stirred at 200 C for one hours under a stream of nitrogen. Analysis using high speed liquid chromatography showed that all of the piperidine compound had bean consumed at the end of this time. The reaction product was a pale yellow viscous liquid, 60 grams. The moor ratio of oxirane groups to piperidine groups was 1:0.172. Example TI Tris(2, 3-epoxypropyl)isocyanurate, 50 grams, was dissolved in 50 grams of pseudocanene and 25 grams of tetra(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl)-1, 2, 3, 4-butanetetra carboxylate added. The solution was heated and stirred for two hours alder a stream of nitrogen at reflux temperature. Analysis using high speed liquid chromatography showed that all of the piperidine compound had been consumed at the end of this time. The solvent was distilled off, obtaining 70 grams of a pale yellow glassy solid. The molar ratio oxirane groups to piperidine groups was 1:0.084.

The stabilizer compositions Of the invention can be used as stabilizers with any polyvinyl chloride resin. The term "polyvinyl chloride" as used herein is inclusive of any polymer formed at least in part of the recurring group: EMI14.1 and having a chlorine content in excess of 49it. In this group, the X groups can each be either hydrogen or chlorine. In polyvinyl chloride homopolymers, each of the X groups is hydrogen. Thus, the term includes not only polyvinyl chloride homopolymers but also after-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, such as those disclosed in British patent No. 893, 288, and also copolymers of vinyl chloride in a major proportion and other copolymerizable monomers in a minor proportion, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl chloride with maleic or fumaric acids or esters, and copolymers of vinyl chloride with styrene, propylene, and ethylene. The invention also Is applicable to mixtures of polyvinyl chloride in a major proportion with other synthetic resins such as chlorinated polyethylene or a copolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. Among the polyvinyl chlorides which can be stabilized are the uniasially-stretch oriented polyvinyl chlorides described in U. S. patent No. 2, 934, 593 to Isaksem et al, that is, syndiotactic polyvinyl chloride, as well as atactic and isotactic polyvinyl chlorides. The a!-hydroxy- -2, 2, 6, 6 tetramethyl piperidyl ethylene airanes of the invention both with and without supplementary heat and light stabilizers are excellent stabilizers for both unplasticized or rigid polyvinyl chloride resins, as well as plasticized polyvinyl chloride resins. The rigid polyvinyl chloride resins are defined as those containing at most 10% plasticizer. Plasticized resins contain at least 10% plasticizer, and can contain as much as 50 to fi ic plasticizer according to the degree of plasticization desired. When plasticizers are to be employed, they may be incorporated into the polyvinyl chloride resin using conventional means. Conventional plasticizers can be used, such as dioctyl phthalate, dioctyl sebacate and tricresyl phosphate. Particularly useful plasticizers are the epoxy higher fatty acid esters having from about twenty to about one hundred fifty carbon atoms. Such esters will initially have had unsaturation in the alcohol or acid portion d the molecule, which is taken up by the formation of the epoxy group. Typical unsaturated acids are oleic, linoleic, linolenic, erucic, ricinoleic and brassidic acids, and these may be esterified with organic monohydric or polyhydric alcohols, the total number of carbon atoms of the acid and the alcohol being within the range stated. Typical monohydric alcohols include butyl alcohol, 2¯ethylhexyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, isooctyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol and oleyl alcohol. The octyl alcohols are preferred. Typical polyhydric alcohols include pentaerythritol, glycerol, ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1, 4-butylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, ricsinoleyl alcohol, erythritol, mannitol and sorbitol Glycerol is preferred. These alcohols may be fully or partially esterified with the epoxidized acid. Also useful are the epoxidized mixtures of higher fatty acid esters found in naturally occurring oils such as epoxidized soybean oil, epaxidized olive oil, epaxidized cottonseed oil, epoxidized tall oil fatty acid esters, epoxidized linseed oil and epoxidized tallow. a these, epoxidized soybean oil is preferred. The alcohol can contain the epoxy group and have a long or short chain, and the acid can have a short or long chain, such as epasy stearyl acetate, epoxy stearyl stearate, glycidyl stearate, and polymerized glycidyl methacrylate. A small amount, usually not more than 1.5i;, of a parting agent or lubricant can also be included. Typical parting agents are the higher aliphatic acids, and alkali and alkaline earth metal salts Qf such acids, having twelve to twenty for carbon atoms, such as stearic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid and myristic acid; for example, lithium stearate, calcium stearate and calcium palmitate; mineral lubricating oils, polyvinyl stearate, polyethylene and paraffin wax. Impact modifiers, for improving the toughness or impact-resistance d unplasticized resins, can also be added to the resin composition stabilized by the present invention in minor amounts of usually not more than 10%. Examples of such impact modifiers include chlorinated polyethylene, ABS polymers, and polyacrylate butadiene graft copolymers. The a-hydroxy-ss -2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl piperidyl ethylene ooriranes of the invention can be combined with conventional heat stabilizers, such as phenolic anticxidants, polyvalent metal salts oE organic acids, organic phosphites thioethers, organotin compounds, 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 contain from about eight to about three hundred carbon atoms. Tn addition, 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 d 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 about eighteen carbon atoms in an alkyl, alicyclidene and alkylene group, and a total of not over about 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: EMI18.1 R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen; halogen; and organic radicals containing from one to about dirty carbon atoms, such as alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, and acyl where R' is aryl, alkyl or cycloalkyl. EMI18.2 and F are integers from one to four, and the sum of xl 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: EMI19.1 wherein Y is a polyvalent linking group selected from the group consisting of oxygen; carbonyl; sulfur; sulfinyl; aromatic, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon groups; and oxyhydrocarbon, jhiohydrocarbon 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 hydro 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 about thirty carbon atoms, such as alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy and acyloxy EMI19.2 where R' is aryl, alkyl or cyclo alkyl, or thiohydrocarbon groups having from one to about thirty carbon atoms and carboxyl EMI20.1 groups. Usually, however, each aromatic nucleus will not have more than about 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 abenzene nucleus, the polyhydric polycyclic phenol has the structure: EMI20.2 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; xl and X3 are integers from zero to four, and X2 is an integer from zero to three; y, is an integer from zero to about 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; aryl ene, alkyl arylene, arylallylene; cycloalkylene, cycloalkylidene; and oxa- and ffiia-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: EMI21.1 EMI22.1 EMI22.2 2) Y groups here only atoms other than carbon link the aromatic rings, such as EMI22.3 and -(S)± 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: EMI23.1 EMI23.2 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-4methyl phenol, 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxy phenol, 2, 4-dinonyl 2,3,4,5-tetradecyl phenol, tetrahydro-&alpha;-naphthol, o-, m- and p-cresol, o-, m- and p-phenylphenol, o-, m- and p-xylenols, the carvenols, symmetrical xylenol, thymol, o-, mand p-nonylphenol, o-, m- and p-dodecyl-phenol, and o-, mand p-octyl-phenol, o-, and m-tert-butyl-p-hydroxy- anisol e, p-n-decyloxy-phenol, p-n-decyloxy-cresol, nonyl-n-decyloxycresol, eugenol, isocugenol, glyceryl monosalicylate, methyl-p hydroxy-c innamate, 4-benzyloxy-phenol, p-acetylaminophenol, p-stearyl-aminophenol, methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate, p-dichlorobenzoyl- aminophenol, p-hydroxysalicyl anilide, steary-(3,5-di-methyl-4-hydroxy-benzyl) thioglycolate, stearyl - (4-hydroxy-3, 5-di-t-butylenyl) propio nate, 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: EMI27.1 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 about 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 Wlngstay , exemplified by dicyc lopentadi ene tri- (2-tert-butyl-4- methyl-phenol) of the formula: EMI28.1 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 a-pillene, ss-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 unchanged 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 preparation, see e.g., U.S. patent. 3,124,555, U.S. patentNo. 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 about six to about 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 aad 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 hydroxy. By the term "alicyclic" it will be understood that there is intended any cyclic acid in which thering is nonaromatic and composed solely of carbon atoms, and such acids may if desired have inert, nonreactive substituents such as halogen, hydroxy, 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, riciribleic 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 rnon6phisphites. The organic triphosphites in which the radicals are monovalent radicals can be defined by the formula: EMI31.1 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 about thirty carbon atoms. The acid phosphites are defined by the same formula, but one or two of RX, 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: EMI32.1 in which Rug is a bivalent organic radical selected from the group consisting of alkylene, arylene, aralkylene, alkarylene and cycloalkylene radicals having from two to about thirty carbon atoms, and R5 is a monolralent 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: EMI32.2 More complex triphosphites are formed from trivalent organic radicals, of the type: EMI32.3 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: EMI33.1 where R1 and R2 are selected from the group consisting of aryl, alkyl, aryloxyethyl, alkyloxyethyl, aryloxyethoxyethyl, alkyloxyethoxyethyl and alkyloxypolyethoxyethyl having from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms. In the case of the acid phosphites, one or both of Rl 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: EMI33.2 in which Ar is a mono or bicyclic aromatic nucleus and m is an integer of from 0 to about 5. EMI34.1 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 EMI34.2 radicals is also hydrcgen, 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 sine. Usually, the trigosphites and acid phosphites will not have more than about sixty carbon atoms. Exemplary triphosphites are monophenyl di-2-ethylhexyl phosphite, diphenyl mono-2-ethylhexyl phosphite, di-isooctyl monotolyl phosphite, tri-2-ethylhexyl pho sphite, phenyl dicyclohexyl phosphite, phenyl dimethyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, tricresyl phosphite, tri (dimethylphenyl) phosphite, trioctadecyl phosphite, trii sooctyl phosphite, tridodecyl pho sphite, isooctyl diphenyl pho sph ite, diisooctyl phenyl phosphite, tri(t-octylphenyl) thosphite, tri-(t-nonylphenyl) phosphite, benzyl methyl isopropyl phosphite, butyl dicresyl phosphite, isooctyl di(octylplienyl) phosphite, di(2-ethylhexyl) (isooctylphenyl) phosphite, tri (2-cyclohexylphenyl) phosphite), tri -a-naphthyl pho sphite, tri (phenylphenyl) phosphite, tri(2-phenylethyl) phosphite, ethylene phenyl phosphite, ethylene t-butyl phosphite, ethylene isohexyl phosphite, ethylene isooctyl phosphite, ethylene cyclohexyl phosphite, 2-phenoxy-1, 3,2- dioxaphosphorinane, 2-butoxy- 1,3,2-dioxyphosphorinane, 2-octoxy-5,5-dimethyl-dioxaphosphorinane, and 2-cyclohexyloxcy-5,5-diethyl dioxaphosphorinane.

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]nOCCH2CH2-S-CH2CH2COOZ where Z is hydrogen, R2 or M, n is the number of thiodipropionic acid ester units in the chain, and X is a bivalent hydrocarbon group of the type of R1, that is, alkylene, alkenylene, cyclo ai1ylene, mixed alkylene-arylene and mixed alwlene- cyclo alkylene radicals; hydroxyalkylene and hydroxyalkyloxyalkylene 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 thiodipropionic 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)R1 OOCCH2CH2SCIi2CH2COOR2 (c) R1O[OCCH2CH2SCH2CH2COOX-O]nOCCH2CH2SCH2CH2COOZ (d) R1OOCCH2CH2SCH2CH2COOM In the above formulae R1 and ES, 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 about ten to about 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.

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-hydroxy-5- methylphenyl)benzotriazoles, 2(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole, 2(2-hydroxy-3-5-di-t-butylphenyl) 5-chlorobenzotriazole, 2 (2 -hydrty -3, 5-di-t-amylphenyl) benzotriazole, 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-a -cyano ss-methyl-ss -(p methoxy phenyl) acrylate and oxalic anilides such as N-2 ethyl phenyl- N'-2 ethoxy 5-t butyl phenyl axalic 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 polyvinyl chloride to deterioration in physical properties when exposed to heat and light, including, for example, discoloration and embrittlement. Very small amounts are usually adequate. Amounts within the range from about 0. 001 to about 10% total stabilizers including the oxirane of the invention by weight of the polymer are satisfactory. Preferably, from 0.01 to 5% is employed for optimum stabilization. The stabilizer systems of the invention are readily formulated as a blend of: (a) a-hydroxy-ss-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl piperidyl ethylene oxirane in an amount of from about 10 to about 35 parts by weight; and optionally: (b) a phenolic antioxidant in an amount from about 10 to about 35 parts by weight; and/or (c) other heat or light stabilizers in an amount of from about 10 to about 35 parts by weight. In addition, other conventional additives for polyvinyl chloride resins, such as antistatic 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 Banburn 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 substantially 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.
