N-substituted hindered amine stabilizers

Abstract: Hindered amines based on various 2,2,6,6-tetraalkylated nitrogen-­ containing heterocyclic moieties wherein the hindered nitrogen atom on the ring is substituted with OR₁ substituents and the 4-position of the ring is substituted with a variety of groups, are effective as light stabilizers in diverse substrate systems. Some of them are new compounds.

Description: The instant invention pertains to the stabilization of ambient curing and of acid catalyzed thermosetting resins by use of hindered amine light stabilizers substituted on the hindered nitrogen atom by a variety of OR 1 groups. The invention further pertains to the new compounds of this type of hindered amines. Hindered amine light stabilizers are well known to be effective in stabilizing a host of organic substrates including polymers from the deleterious effects of light and oxygen. Such hindered amine light stabilizers have been used in the stabilization of hot-crosslinkable alkyd or acrylic metallic stoving lacquers (US 4,426,472) and in stabilizing acid-catalyzed stoving lacquers based on hot-crosslinkable acrylic polyester or alkyd resins (US 4,344,876 and 4,426,471). None of the hindered amine light stabilizers of these patents possess structures having an OR 1 group substituted directly on the N-atom of the hindered amine. Related hindered amine stabilizers have been utilized individually and in combination with ultra-violet light absorbers to improve the performance characterisitcs of coating systems. Notwithstanding such improvements, there still exists a need to further retard the photooxidation and photodegradation of such coating systems and thereby provide increased effectiveness by maintaining the physical integrity of the coatings. Such effectiveness can be manifested by prevention of embrittlement, cracking, corrosion, erosion, loss of gloss, chalking and yellowing of the coating. It has now been determined that the aforementioned improvements can be achieved by substitution on the hindered N-atom of the hindered amines with OR 1 groups and the utilization of such derivatives in ambient curable and acid catalyzed thermosetting coating systems. In particular, the physical integrity of the coatings is maintained to a higher degree with significant reduction in loss of gloss and yellowing. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a stabilized ambient curing or acid catalyzed thermosetting coating composition containing an effective stabilizing amount of a hindered amine compound containing the group wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and R 1 is C 1 -C 18 alkyl, C 2 -C 18 alkenyl, C 2 -C 18 alkinyl, C 5 -C 12 cycloalkyl, C 6 -C 10 bicycloalkyl, C 5 -C 8 cycloalkenyl, C 6 -C 10 aryl, C 7 -C 9 aralkyl or C 7 -C 9 aralkyl substituted by C 1 -C 4 alkyl or phenyl.

Resins for ambient curing coatings may be, for example, alkyd resins, thermoplastic acrylic resins, acrylic alkyd resins, polyurethane resins or polyester resins, said resins may be modified with silicones, isocyanates, epoxides, isocyanurates, ketimines or oxazolidines. The resins may be esters of cellulose such as nitrocellulose or cellulose acetobutyrate or the resins may be epoxide resins hardenable with polyamines or other hardeners. Applicable alkyd, acrylic, polyester and epoxide resins are described in S. Paul's "Surface Coatings: Science and Technology" (1985) at pages 70-310. The unmodified and modified alkyd resins which can be stabilized in accordance with the invention, are the conventional resins which are used in trade sales, maintenance and automotive refinish coatings. For example, such coatings are based on alkyd resins, alkyd/acrylic resins and alkyd/silicon resins optionally crosslinked by isocyanates or epoxy resins. Resins for acid catalyzed thermosetting coatings may be, for example, hot crosslinkable acrylic, polyester, polyurethane, polyamide or alkyd resins. This implies mixtures of those resins or mixtures with crosslinking agents such as melamine resins. The acrylic resin lacquers are the conventional acrylic resin stoving lacquers or thermosetting resins including acrylic/melamine systems which are described, for example, in H. Kittel's "Lehrbuch der Lacke und Beschichtungen", Vol. 1, Part 2, on pages 735 and 742 (Berlin 1972), "Lackkunstharze" (1977), by H. Wagner and H.F. Sarx, on pages 229-238, and in S. Paul's "Surface Coatings: Science and Technology" (1985). The polyester lacquers are the conventional stoving lacquers described e.g. in H. Wagner and H.F. Sarx, op. cit., on pages 86-99. The alkyd resin lacquers which can be stabilized in accordance with the invention, are the conventional stoving lacquers which are used in particular for coating automobiles (automobile finishing lacquers), for example lacquers based on alkyd/melamine resins and alkyd/acrylic/melamine resins (see H. Wagner and H.F. Sarx, op. cit., pages 99-123). Other crosslinking agents include glycoluril resins, blocked isocyanates or epoxy resins. In their industrial uses, enamels with high solids content based on crosslinkable acrylic, polyester, urethane or alkyd resins are cured with an additional acid catalyst. Light stabilizers containing a basic nitrogen group are generally less than satisfactory in this application. Formation of a salt between the acid catalyst and the light stabilizer leads to incompatibility or insolubility and precipitation of the salt and to a reduced level of cure and to reduced light protective action and poor resistance to moisture. The ambient curing coatings as well as the acid catalyzed hot curable coatings stabilized in accordance with the invention are suitable both for metal finish coatings and solid shade finishes, especially in the case of retouching finishes. The lacquers stabilized in accordance with the invention are preferably applied in the conventional manner by two methods, either by the single-coat method or by the two-coat method. In the latter method, the pigment-containing base coat is applied first and a covering coat of clear lacquer applied over it. The amount of hindered amine derivative employed is 0.1 to 10 % by weight, based on the solvent-free binder, preferably 0.5 to 5 % by weight. The binders can be dissolved or dispersed in customary organic solvents or in water or can be solvent-free. When used in two-coat finishes, the hindered amine derivative can be incorporated in the clear coat or both in the clear coat and in the pigmented base coat. In the manufacture of acrylic modified alkyd resins or acrylic resins, polymerizable hindered amine derivatives can be polymerized into the resin. The incorporation into the lacquer binder can also, however, be effected via polycondensation in the manufacture of the alkyd or polyester resins. In these cases, there is the additional advantage that the light stabilizers cannot be removed by extraction or migration so that their action is very prolonged. To attain maximum light stability, the concurrent use of other conventional light stabilizers can be advantageous. Examples are UV absorbers of the benzophenone, benzotriazole, acrylic acid derivative, or oxalanilide type, or aryl-s-triazines or metal-containing light stabilizers, for example organic nickel compounds. In two-coat systems, these additional light stabilizers can be added to the clear coat and/or the pigmented base coat. If such combinations are employed, the sum of all light stabilizers is 0.2 to 20 % by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5 % by weight, based on the film-forming resin. Examples of the UV absorbers which may be used in the instant compositions in conjunction with the aforementioned hindered amine compounds are: (a) 2-(2'-Hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazoles, for example the 5'-methyl-, 3',5'-di-tert-butyl-, 5'-tert-butyl-, 5'-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-, 5-chloro-3',5'-di-tert-butyl-, 5-chloro-3'-tert-butyl-5'-methyl-, 3'-sec-butyl-5'-tert-butyl-, 4'-octoxy-, 3',5'-di-tert-amyl derivative. (b) 2-Hydroxy-benzophenones, for example, the 4-hydroxy-, 4-methoxy-, 4-octoxy-, 4-decyloxy-, 4-dodecyloxy-, 4-benzyloxy, 4,2',4'-trihydroxy- and 2'-hydroxy-4,4'-dimethoxy derivative.

Typical phosphite and phosphonites include triphenyl phosphite, diphenylalkyl phosphites, phenyldialkyl phosphites, tri-(nonylphenyl)phosphite, trilauryl phosphite, trioctadecyl phosphite, di-stearyl-pentaerythritol diphosphite, tris-(2,4-di-tert.butylphenyl) phosphite, di-isodecylpentaerythritol diphosphite, di-(2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphite, tristearyl-sorbitol triphosphite, tetrakis-(2,4-di-tert.butylphenyl)-4,4'-diphenylylenediphosphonite. The stabilizers are needed to impart greater retention of durability to the cured enamels (as measured by 20 ° gloss, distinction of image, cracking or chalking); the stabilizers must not retard cure (normal bake for auto finishes at 121°C and low bake repair at 82°C) as measured by hardness, adhesion, solvent resistance and humidity resistance, the enamel should not yellow on curing and further color change on exposure to light should be minimized; the stabilizers should be soluble in the organic solvents normally used in coating applications such as methyl amyl ketone, xylene, n-hexyl acetate, alcohol and the like. The instant hindered amine light stabilizers substituted on the N-atom by an OR 1 group fulfill each of these requirements and provide alone or in combination with a UV-absorber outstanding light stabilization protection to the cured coatings. The following examples describe the inventive use of the hindered amine derivatives in various ambient curable and acid catalyzed thermosetting coatings. Parts and percentages are by weight. Example 1: Stabilization of an Aromatic Urethane Varnish Pieces of 1.27 cm x 20.32 cm x 30.48 cm western red cedar panels having a fine radial cut are used to test a commercially aromatic urethane varnish (Flecto-Varathane 90). One half of each panel is coated with two coats of the unstabilized varnish. An equal amount of varnish containing 7 % (by weight based on resins solids) of light stabilizers is applied to the other half of the panel in two coats. After storage for 2 weeks at ambient temperature, the wood panels are exposed outdoors at an angle of 45°S for a period of 5 months. The 60° gloss of each half of the panel is measured at the top, middle, and bottom portion of the panel and averaged (ASTM D 523). Due to the lack of homogeneity of wood substrates, the gloss retention of the same varnish tends to differ slightly from panel to panel. Thus, the application of an unstabilized control varnish to every panel allows for a more meaningful measurement of the improvement in gloss due to the presence of the light stabilizer.

The hindered amine derivatives of the instant invention are generally prepared by oxidizing the corresponding hindered amine with an appropriate peroxy compound such as hydrogen peroxide or tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a metal carbonyl or metal oxide catalyst followed by reduction of the oxyl intermediate formed to the desired N-hydroxy derivative, preferably by catalytic hydrogenation. Thereafter, the O-alkyl derivatives can be synthesized by several routes. For example, the N-hydroxy derivative can be alkylated with sodium hydride and halogenated hydrocarbons such as benzyl bromide and ethyl iodide. N-methoxy variants can be prepared by thermolysis of a chloro-benzene solution of nitroxyl radical and di-tert-butyl peroxide. The product is formed by a coupling reaction between the nitroxyl radical and the methyl radical generated from β-scission of a t-butoxy radical. Other N-alkoxy variants can be synthesized by coupling nitroxyl radicals with hydrocarbon radicals generated from thermal decomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide in the presence of hydrocarbon solvents such as cyclohexane, toluene, and ethylbenzene. A preferred approach is the preparation of N-alkoxy hindered amines directly from hindered amines. For example, a mixture of 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, aqueous t-butyl hydroperoxide, molybdenum oxide, and ethylbenzene gives a 90 % yield of the N-alpha-methylbenzyloxy piperidine. Molybdenum (VI) has been shown to increase the efficiency of both the oxidation of hindered amine to nitroxyl radical and the reaction of nitroxyl radicals with hydrocarbons. Although these procedures have been referenced in terms of N-alkoxy substituents, they are meant to equally apply to all OR 1 groups. The hindered amine precursors are largely commercially available or can be prepared by the application of known methods. Reference is made to Kurumada et al, J. Polym. Sci. , Poly. Chem.
