Abstract: Siliconic compounds, stabilizer for organic polymers, containing in their molecule the aromatic phosphite or phosphonite function and the sterically hindered aminic function, are obtained by making a 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-4-oxyalkylene-γ-alkyl­ di(alkyloxy)silane, an aliphatic glycol, an aromatic phosphite, phosphonite or diphosphite and possibly an aliphatic mono-hydroxy alcohol interact with each other.

Description: The present invention relates to siliconic compounds, stabilizer for organic polymers, containing in their molecule the aromatic phosphite or phosphonite function, and the sterically hindered aminic function. The invention relates also to the polymeric stabilized compositions, which comprise an organic polymer and a stabilizer amount of at least one of the said siliconic stabilizer compounds. It is known that the organic polymers, such as the polyolefins and the polydienes, undergo degradation over time, by exposure to the atmospheric agents, in particular under the action of U.V. light. This degradation causes a reduction in the physical properties of the polymers, such as, e.g., a decrease in the ultimate tensile strength and in flexibility, which are accompanied by a change in melt index. In order to counteract such a degradation, it is usual in the art to introduce into the organic polymers small amounts of such stabilizer compounds as benzotriazoles, benzophenones and nickel complexes. Also useful to that purpose are organic compounds containing a sterically hindered aminic group, such as, e.g., the compounds deriving from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, as disclosed in U.S.-A-3,640,928. In EP-A-0162524 there are disclosed stabilizer compounds for organic polymers, containing a sterically hindered aminic function, and bearing in their molecule also a hydrolysable silicic function. These stabilizer compounds, in the stabilization of the organic polymers, are hydrolysed in correspondence of the silicic function, and the silanol groups so produced are able to interact with each other, or with a solid support, or with the organic polymer to be stabilized, yielding, in any case, complex structures which remain stably inside the organic polymer. In EP-A-0182415 there are disclosed stabilizer compounds for organic polymers, which are obtained by reacting a mono-hydroxy or poly-hydroxy aliphatic alcohol with a compound containing the alkoxysilane function and the sterically hindered aminic function. The so-obtained stabilizer compounds show, besides a high heat stability, the characteristics deriving from an easy dispersability and compatibility with the organic polymers. In the art the stabilizer effect is furthermore known which is performed by the aromatic phosphites and phosphonites on the organic polymers. In particular, these compounds, used in combination with sterically hindered phenolic antioxidants, efficaciously counteract the oxidative decomposition of the organic polymers, sometimes showing a synergistic effect. On the contrary, no particularly advantageous results were obtained in the stabilization of the organic polymers by means of a stabilizer system consisting of a sterically hindered amine and an aromatic phosphite or phosphonite. A class was found now of siliconic stabilizer compounds, which contain, in the same molecule, the sterically hindered aminic function and the aromatic phosphite or phosphonite function, which show, in the stabilization of the organic polymers, in particular polyolefins and polydienes, an unexpectedly intense action, however higher than as foreseeable on the basis of their content of the two above-mentioned functions. These siliconic stabilizer compounds have generally the appearance of colourless compounds, endowed with good fluidity, which are free from smell, and have a very long shelf life. They are furthermore perfectly compatible with the organic polymers, and are practically not extractable from the same polymers. In accordance with the above, the present invention relates to siliconic stabilizer compounds for organic polymers, containing in their molecule the sterically hindered aminic function and the aromatic phosphite or phosphonite function, which are obtained from: (a) a 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-4-oxyalkylene-γ-alkyl-di-(oxyalkyl)-silane, to be represented by the following general formula: wherein: R is an linear or branched alkylene group, containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and preferably 3 carbon atoms: R¹ and R², are equal to, or different from each other, and represent the methyl or ethyl group; (b) an aliphatic di-hydroxy alcohol, to be represented by the general formula: HO - R³ - OH wherein R³ is a linear or branched alkylene group, containing from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and preferably 6 carbon atoms; or a cycloalkylene group; (c) an aliphatic monohydroxy alcohol, to be represented by the general formula: R⁴ - OH wherein R⁴ is a linear or branched alkyl group, containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and preferably 4 carbon atoms; (d) an aromatic phosphite, phosphonite or diphosphite selected from: (i) phosphites or phosphonites definable by the general formula: wherein R⁵ and R⁶ are the phenyl group, and R⁷ is the phenyl or phenoxy group; (ii) phosphites definable by the previous general formula, wherein R⁵ and R⁶ represent, jointly, a phenylene group, and R⁷ is a phenoxy group; (iii) an aromatic diphosphite to be represented by the formula: by interacting, per each mol of (a) compound, from 1 to 1.5 mol of (b) compound, from 0 to 1 mol of (c) compound, and from 0.5 to 1 mol of (d) compound. A class of stabilizer siliconic compounds according to the present invention can be represented by the general formula: wherein R, R¹, R³, R⁴ and R⁷ have the above indicated meaning. These siliconic compounds can be generally obtained by reacting (a), (b), (c) and (d) with one another, in a mutual molar ratio equal to about 1:1:1:0.5, with the reactant (d) being either an aromatic phosphite or an aromatic phosphonite of (i) class. Another class of stabilizer siliconic compounds according to the present invention can be represented by the general formula: wherein R, R¹, R³, R⁴ and R⁷ have the above indicated meaning. These siliconic compounds can be generally obtained by reacting (a), (b), (c) and (d) with one another, in a mutual molar ratio equal to about 1:1.5:1:1, with the reactant (d) being either an aromatic phosphite or an aromatic phosphonite of (i) class. Another class of stabilizer siliconic compounds according to the present invention can be represented by the general formula: wherein R, R¹, R³ have the above indicated meaning. These siliconic compounds can be generally obtained by reacting (a), (b) and (d) with one another, in a mutual molar ratio equal to about 1:1.5:1, with the reactant (d) being a phosphite of (ii) class. A further class of stabilizer siliconic compounds according to the present invention can be represented by the general formula: wherein R, R¹, R³ and R⁴ have the above indicated meaning. These siliconic compounds can be generally obtained by reacting (a), (b), (c) and (d) with one another, in a mutual molar ratio equal to about 1:1:1:0.5, with the reactant (d) being a diphosphite of (iii) class. The preparation of the stabilizer siliconic compounds according to the present invention comprises essentially the reaction of (a), (b), (c) and (d) under transesterification conditions, in the presence of transesterification catalysts. Preferably (a), (b) and (c) are first reacted in the above indicated molar ratios, operating in the presence of a transesterification catalyst, under a nitrogen atmosphere, and continuously removing the methanol or ethanol which are formed as reaction byproducts. Catalysts suitable to the purpose are the alkali metal alkoxides, which are used in an amount of from 0.01 to 1% by weight in the reaction mixture. Temperatures suitable to the purpose may generally range from 80 to 120°C, and the related reaction times are of the order of 1-6 hours. To the so-obtained reaction mixture, compound (d) is then added, in the already indicated molar proportions, and is reacted within the range of conditions as indicated for the first reaction step, but with a reduced pressure being maintained, for example of about 1 torr (133,32 Pa), with the phenol which forms as the reaction by product being continuously removed. This second reaction step requires generally times of the order of 1-2 hours. At reaction complete, the obtained siliconic stabilizer compound is purified from the catalyst by neutralization with carbon dioxide gas, or with acetic acid. So, e.g., the recovery of the reaction product can be carried out by diluting the reaction mixture with a hydrocarbon solvent for facilitating the removal of the alkaline salts deriving from the transesterification catalyst, said salts being then separated by filtration or centifugation. The hydrocarbon solvent is then evaporated off, and the stabilizer siliconic compound is recovered as the residue from said evaporation. The so-obtained siliconic stabilizer compounds show such structures as hereinabove defined, or they can be substantially represented by said structures, in as much as during their preparation process, a limited amount can be formed of more complex structures, which are still active as stabilizers for the organic polymers, and which hence need not be separated from the other reaction products. In any case, the siliconic stabilizer compounds of the present invention have the physical form of more or less viscous oils, which can be directly added to the organic polymers to be stabilized. Furthermore, said siliconic stabilizer compounds are perfectly compatible with the organic polymers, inside which they remain stably, and give to the same polymers higher stability characteristics than as obtainable when to the polymers equivalent amounts of sterically hindered amine and of aromatic phosphite are separately added. By means of the siliconic stabilizer compounds of the present invention, the organic polymers in general can be stabilized, and in particular, the homopolymers and copolymers of the olefins and diolefins, such as polypropylene, polybutadiene and high- and low-density polyethylene, can be stabilized. The stabilized polymeric compositions according to the present invention contain the organic polymer and an amount of at least one siliconic stabilizer compound, which supplies the composition with a nitrogen amount (deriving from the sterically hindered aminic function) comprised within the range of from 0.005 to 0.2% by weight and with a phosphorus amount (deriving from the aromatic phosphite or phosphonite function) of from 0.01 to 0.4% by weight. The following experimental Examples are supplied to the purpose of illustrating the present invention without limiting it. Example 1 To a 100-ml flask, equipped with nitrogen inlet, Liebig condenser, flask for collecting the distillation products, and magnetic-bar stirrer, charged are: 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-4-oxypropyl-γ-methyldimethoxysilane (12.8 g; 40.26 mmol), n-butanol (3.68 ml; 40.26 mmol), hexanediol (4.75 g, 40.26 mmol) and sodium methoxide in the form of a 30% solution in methanol by weight (0.06 g; 0.3% by weight). With a very slow flow of nitrogen being maintained through the flask, this latter is dipped in an oil bath kept at the controlled temperature of 105°C, and its contents are continuously stirred for 1 hour. During this time period, from the flask the methanol is removed, together with a small amount of butanol. At this point in time, to the flask triphenylphosphite (5.25 ml; 6.24 g; 20.13 mmol) is charged, and the reaction is continued for 30 minutes at the tenperature of 105°C, under the atmospheric pressure, and then for 40 minutes under reduced pressure (about 1 torr (133,32 Pa)). At the end of this time period, the phenol is completely collected inside the condenser, and the I.R. analysis of the product contained in the flask demonstrated the complete disappearance of the hydroxy groups. The contents of the flask are diluted with 4 volumes of isooctane, and then to the flask small pieces of dry ice are added. By so doing, a white solid (sodium carbonate) precipitates and is filtered off. From the obtained filtrate the solvent is removed by vacuum flashing, and 19.07 g is obtained of a liquid and colourless product which, at the elemental analysis, shows the following composition: C = 64.7% by weight; H = 9.1% by weight; N = 2.7% by weight; P = 3.3% by weight. This product, which shows to be highly stable at the thermogravimetric analysis, can be basically represented by the formula: Example 2 The process is carried out in the same way as disclosed in Example 1, by starting from 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-4-oxypropyl-γ-methyl-dimethoxysilane (4.08 g; 13.46 mmol), hexanediol (2.38 g; 20.18 mmol), n-butanol (1.23 ml; 0.998 g; 13.46 mmol); sodium methoxide (0.15 ml; 0.045 g) and diphenoxydiphenylphosphine (3.22 ml; 13.46 mmol). After the treatment of the reaction product as disclosed in Example 1, 9.8 g is obtained of a colourless liquid which, at the elemental analysis, shows the following composition: C = 65.2% by weight; H = 9.1% by weight; N = 2.3% by weight; P = 5.18% by weight. This product can be substantially represented by the formula: Example 3 The process is carried out in the same way as disclosed in Example 1, by starting from 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-4-oxypropyl-γ-methyl-dimethoxysilane (4.38 g; 14.46 mmol), hexanediol (1.70 g; 14.46 mmol), n-butanol (1.32 ml; 1.07 g; 14.46 mmol); sodium methoxide (0.15 ml; 0.045 g) and diphenoxyphenylphosphine (2.12 ml; 7.22 mmol). After the treatment of the reaction product as disclosed in Example 1, 5.7 g is obtained of a colourless liquid which, at the elemental analysis, shows the following composition: C = 65.2% by weight; H = 9.4% by weight; N = 2.4% by weight; P = 3.7% by weight. This product can be substantially represented by the formula: Example 4 The process is carried out in the same way as disclosed in Example 1, by starting from 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-4-oxypropyl-γ-methyl-dimethoxysilane (4.1 g; 13.53 mmol), n-butanol (1.23 ml; 1.0 g: 13.53 mmol), hexanediol (1.46 g; 13.53 mmol), sodium methoxide (0.15 ml; 45 mg) and from a diphosphite, deriving from pentaerythritol, having the following formula: (1.70 g; 6.77 mmol). After the treatment of the reaction product as disclosed in Example 1, 5.1 g is obtained of a colourless liquid which, at the elemental analysis, shows the following composition: C = 57.1% by weight; H = 10.0% by weight; N = 2.7% by weight; P = 6.1% by weight. This product can be substantially represented by the formula: Example 5 The process is carried out in the same way as disclosed in Example 1, by starting from 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl-4-oxypropyl-γ-methyl-dimethoxysilane (4.25 g; 14.0 mmol), hexanediol (2.48 g; 21 mmol), sodium methoxide (0.15 ml; 45 mg) and benzophenyl phosphite (3.25 g; 14.0 mmol). The reaction product is diluted with diethyl ether and in then treated with 0.3 ml of acetic acid. After separation and vacuum-drying, 7.5 g is obtained of a colourless liquid which, at the elemental analysis, shows a content of 2.4% by weight of N, and of 5.2% by weight of P. This product can be substantially represented by the formula: The siliconic stabilizer compounds prepared in the above examples are blended with polypropylene Moplefan (R) FLF 20, by Montedison, and their capability is determined of inhibiting the polypropylene breakdown by means of accelerated ageing tests, both in laboratory (WOM and UV-Con), and outdoor, carried out on polypropylene film. The stabilizing activity of the siliconic stabilizer compounds is compared to that of the commercial product TINUVIN 770, at the concentrations of 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5% by weight relatively to polypropylene. The amount of siliconic stabilizer compound present in polypropylene is in any case such as to secure an amount of nitrogen, deriving from the sterically hindered group, equalling the amount supplied by the commercial product TINUVIN 770, at the three above-shown concentrations. Furthermore, to TINUVIN 770 the commercial product SANDOSTAB PEPQ is added in such an amount as to yield a phosphorus amount equal to that supplied by the siliconic stabilizer compounds according to the present invention. Furthermore, all of the samples are formulated with a fixed amount of process stabilizer: BHT (2,5-ditert.butyl-4-methylphenol), and equal to 0.2% by weight relatively to polypropylene. The blending of the composition components is carried out, in all cases, on a DIOSNA mixer, over a 30-minute time. The so-prepared powders are granulated in an extruder provided with a reps filter, and with a screw having a 1:4 compression ratio, at the revolution speed of 30 rpm and with the following temperature profile: 190, 235, 270, 270°C. The so obtained granule is then extruded again on the same extruder, equipped with an outfit for film production, with the following modalities: 60 rpm; temperature profile: 175, 200, 210, 220°C. In such a way, a film is obtained, which has a thickness of about 50 µm, to be submitted to the ageing tests. The ageing in UV-con is carried out by means of a device supplied by ATLAS, capable of submitting the polymeric films to alternate cycles of lighting with a UV fluorescence lamp and of condensation in the dark. The lighting step has a duration of 8 hours at the temperature of the black panel of 60°C, and the condensation step has a duration of 4 hours at 40°C. For the ageing in Weather-O-Meter (WOM), the instrument ATLAS GJ65 is used, programmed with a full-light cycle at the temperature of the black panel of 60°C, and at a relative humidity of 90%. The outdoor ageing is carried out in the region of Asiago (Italy), at a height of about 1,000 metres above sea level, for a time of 8 months (April through November). For evaluating the degradation level reached by the polymeric composition, in all of the ageing tests, the value of elongation at break according to ASTM-D882 Standard is assumed (Tables 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10). The degradation performed under UV-Con and on WOM is furthermore continued until the sample crumbles, with the comparison bein performed with the behaviour of the corresponding polymeric films for the various additive compositions (Tables 2, 4, 6 and 8).
