Mixtures of additives for organic polymers in granular form

Abstract: Mixtures of additives in granular form comprising: one or more stabilizers for organic polymers; one or more organic or inorganic pigments; and/or one or more dyes; obtained by extrusion at a temperature capable of enabling the partial or total melting of the lowest-melting component. The above mixtures can be used in the stabilization and dyeing of organic polymers.

Description: The present invention relates to mixtures of additives for organic polymers in granular form. More specifically, the present invention relates to mixtures of additives for organic polymers in granular form consisting of one or more stabilizers for organic polymers, one or more organic or inorganic pigments and/or one or more dyes, obtained by extrusion at a temperature capable of enabling the partial or total melting of the lowest-melting component and their use in the stabilization and dyeing of organic polymers. The present invention also relates to the polymeric compositions stabilized and dyed with the above mixtures and the end-products obtained by their processing. As is known, most additives for organic polymers are in powder form. These powders, when used during the processing of organic polymers, have the disadvantage of being dispersed in the air and can damage the health of the operators as well as creating safety problems due to the possibility of explosions. Another drawback in the use of additives in powder form is the possibility of their thickening in the feeding hoppers, thus obtaining inconstant dosages of the additives in the polymer. The use of additives in powder form, moreover, makes it difficult to obtain complete homogenization between the various components of the mixture and consequently between these and the organic polymer to be stabilized, thus causing heterogeneity in the stabilization. It is known that there is a growing demand on the market for additives in solid form. For this purpose, resort has been made to granulation systems using dry compacting machines or pellet mills, or using so-called "masterbatches" containing the organic polymer to be stabilized and one or more additives in a quantity ranging from 2.5% to 60%. Solid stabilizing mixtures for organic polymers can be obtained as described, for example, in European patent EP 565,184: the solid mixtures obtained consist of two or more stabilizers for organic polymers but no reference is made to the possibility of introducing organic or inorganic pigments and/or one or more dyes, into these mixtures. As organic or inorganic pigments and dyes are also generally in powder form, their use in organic polymers has the same disadvantages described above. U.S. patent 4,604,100 describes a process for the preparation of formulations of dyes in granular form using polyethylene glycol as carrier. U.S. patent 4,194,921, on the other hand, describes a process for obtaining pigments in the form of beads without powders: also in this case the process is carried out in the presence of carriers. The Applicant has now found that it is possible to obtain mixtures of additives for organic polymers in granular form consisting of one or more stabilizers for organic polymers, one or more organic or inorganic pigments and/or one or more dyes, by means of extrusion at a temperature capable of enabling the partial or total melting of the lowest-melting component. The extrusion temperature is much lower than the temperature at which the additives are processed in the case of masterbatches, and the additives used are therefore subjected to less thermal stress. In addition, carriers are not used, thus avoiding the introduction of foreign components into the organic polymer to which the mixtures are to be added. An object of the present invention therefore relates to mixtures of additives in granular form consisting of: one or more stabilizers for organic polymers; one or more organic or inorganic pigments; and/or one or more dyes; obtained by extrusion at a temperature capable of enabling the partial or total melting of the lowest-melting component.

Polyolefins such as, for example, the mono-olefins mentioned in the above paragraph, preferably polyethylene and polypropylene, can be prepared with various methods known in literature, preferably using the following methods: (a) radical polymerization (generally carried out at a high pressure and high temperature); (b) catalytic polymerization using a catalyst which normally contains one or more metals of groups IVb, Vb, VIb or VIII of the Periodic Table. These metals generally have one or more binders such as, for example, oxides, halides, alcoholates, esters, ethers, amines, alkyls, alkenyls and/or aryls which can be π- or σ- coordinated. These metal complexes can be in free form or supported on substrates such as, for example, activated magnesium chloride, titanium(III) chloride, alumina or silicon oxide. These catalysts can be soluble or insoluble in the polymerization medium. The catalysts can be used alone or in the presence of other activators such as, for example, metal alkyls, metal hydrides, halides of metal alkyls, oxides of metal alkyls or metal alkyloxanes, these metals being elements belonging to groups Ia, IIa and/or IIIa of the Periodic Table.

The mixtures of additives, object of the present invention, can be incorporated into the organic polymer to be stabilized by means of the known techniques. The mixtures of additives, object of the present invention, are obtained, as already mentioned, by the extrusion of powder mixtures of the different components, operating at such a temperature as to ensure that at least a small part of the lowest-melting component melts. A solid "spaghetto" is thus obtained which, after appropriate cooling, can be granulated by cutting at the extruder head or by subsequent fragmentation. The molten part of the lowest-melting component, on resolidifying, acts as a gluing agent for the remaining components: in this way the solid "spaghetto" is formed and is subsequently cooled and cut as described above. Some illustrative but non-limiting examples are provided for a better understanding of the present invention and for its embodiment. EXAMPLE 1 22.98 g of octadecyl 3-(3',5'-di-t-butyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl)propionate (known under the trade-name of ANOX PP18 of Great Lakes Chemical Corporation), 61.30 g of tris(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)phosphite (known under the trade-name of ALKANOX 240 of Great Lakes Chemical Corporation), 114.94 g of calcium stearate and 0.78 g of "Ultramarine Violet" of Whittaker, Clark & Daniels, are charged into a planetary powder mixer. The above homogenized mixture is fed to a Brabender laboratory extruder having a screw feeder of 475 mm in length, 19 mm in diameter and with a compression ratio of 1:4, which has the possibility of differentiated heating in four different zones of the screw feeder. The mixture is extruded through a 2.5 mm diameter hole, with a rotation rate of the screw feeder of 90 rpm and a temperature profile of 150°C, 135°C, 110°C, 130°C. A "spaghetto" is obtained which, after cooling to room temperature, is cut up into violet granules, not containing powders, having dimensions of about 2-2.5 mm.
