     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Technical Field 
     The present invention generally relates to the production of hollow articles using the rotational molding process. More particularly, the present invention relates to the additives described hereinbelow and their use in such processes to improve molding cycle time (i.e., reducing curing time) while maintaining process stability over a broader range of temperatures. 
     Description of the Related Art 
     Rotational molding, or rotomolding, is a high-temperature, low-pressure forming process that uses heat and biaxial rotation to produce hollow, one-piece parts, typically made of plastic. Such plastic hollow parts typically made by a rotomolding process include, for example, gasoline containers, garbage cans, agricultural storage vessels, septic tanks, toys, and sporting goods such as kayaks. 
     The process is undertaken by loading a charge of finely divided plastic resin into the mold “shell”, then rotating the mold (usually, on two axes) while heating it to a temperature above the melting point of the plastic resin. The melted plastic flows through the mold cavity under the forces caused by the rotation of the apparatus. The rotation continues for sufficient time to allow the molten plastic to cover the surface of the mold. The mold is then cooled to permit the plastic to freeze into a solid. The final stage of the molding cycle is the removal of the part from the rotomolding machine. 
     The time required to complete the molding cycle is a function of the bulk properties of the plastic which is being molded. For example, it is recognized by those skilled in the art that the plastic resin which is charged into the mold is preferably finely divided (i.e. ground into powder) and has a high bulk density and a narrow particle size distribution to facilitate the “free flow” of the resin. 
     It will also be appreciated that the physical properties of the rotomolded part are influenced by the use of a proper molding cycle time with “undercooked” parts having poor strength properties and “overcooked” parts suffering from poor appearance (a “burnt” color) and/or a deterioration of strength properties. It is desirable to have a short molding cycle (so as to improve the productivity of the expensive rotomolding machinery) and a broad processing window. Thus, the rotomolding composition ideally provides “properly cooked” parts in a short period of time but does not become “overcooked” for an extended period of time. 
     Therefore, the length of time the resin-filled mold spends in the oven is critical, because if left too long the polymer will yellow and/or degrade, thereby negatively affecting the mechanical and/or physical properties of the molded article (e.g., reducing impact strength). If the time the resin filled mold spends in the oven is too short, the sintering and laydown of the molten polymer will be incomplete, thereby negatively affecting the final physical and/or mechanical properties of the molded article. Thus, there is only a narrow temperature and/or time range for achieving the desired mechanical and/or physical properties of the molded article (i.e., processing window). Accordingly, it would be advantageous to widen/broaden this processing window so that parts that have been processed with longer oven cycle times will still exhibit optimal mechanical and/or physical properties. 
     Various additives are known and have been used in the rotomolding process to stabilize the polyolefin material and effectively reduce the production of microstructural defects during the heating cycle of the rotomolding process, which negatively affect the molded article. Some of these additives are also known to affect the cycle time of the rotomolding process. See, e.g., Botkin et al., 2004 “An additive approach to cycle time reduction in rotational molding,” Society of Plastics Engineers Rotomolding Conference, Session 2. For example, the use of stabilizer combinations of phosphites or phosphonites with sterically hindered phenols in polyolefins is generally known. Such phenolic/phosphite or phosphonite blends (e.g., CYANOX® 2777 antioxidant (available from Cytec Industries Inc., Woodland Park N.J.)) will stabilize the resin in the oven for a longer time (resulting in a broader process window), but requires a longer time in the oven to achieve maximum physical properties (resulting in a longer cycle time). Other stabilizer compositions (e.g., hydroxylamine derivatives blended with phosphites and/or phosphonites and HALS), allow for faster polymerization and cure times of the resins, but the processing window remains very narrow. For example, improvements to widen the processing window by using sterically hindered amines are disclosed in US Patent Application Publication No. 2009/0085252. 
     Accordingly, the rotational molding of polyolefin resins requires further improvements in cycle time reduction. A stabilizer composition that effectively reduces the time for sintering and laydown of the polymer melt (with reduced oven cycle time), while maintaining a broad processing window, would be a useful advance in the field, and would find rapid acceptance in the rotational molding industry. Shorter cycle times would lead to greater production yield, higher production efficiency, and, thus, lower energy uses. Formulations exhibiting a broadened process window would be easier to fabricate, without concerns about overcuring and the potential for deterioration of the mechanical properties of the resulting part. Further, formulations exhibiting both a broadened process window and shorter cycle time would enable molders to fabricate parts of different thickness at the same time, thereby further enhancing productivity. 
     SUMMARY 
     The discovery described in detail hereinbelow include stabilizer compositions and processes for using same for reducing cycle time without compromising the processing window in rotational molding processes related to polyolefin articles. These stabilizer compositions and processes effectively reduce the time in the oven needed to reach optimal physical and/or mechanical properties, thereby reducing cycle times of the rotomolding process and consequently increasing production yield and production efficiency, and lowering energy requirements. 
     Accordingly, in one aspect of the disclosure, a stabilizer composition for use in producing a polymeric hollow article in a rotomolding process, comprises stabilizing amounts of: 
     (i) at least one chroman-based compound according to Formula (V): 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     wherein 
     R 21  is present at from 1 to 4 positions of the aromatic portion of Formula (V) and in each instance is independently chosen from:
         C 1 -C 12  hydrocarbyl;   NR′R″, wherein each of R′ and R″ is independently chosen from H or C 1 -C 12  hydrocarbyl; or   OR 27 , wherein R 27  is chosen from C 1 -C 12  hydrocarbyl, COR′″ or Si(R 28 ) 3 , wherein R′″ is chosen from H or C 1 -C 20  hydrocarbyl and R 28  is chosen from C 1 -C 12  hydrocarbyl or alkoxy; and wherein at least one instance of R 21  is OR 27 ;

     each of R 24 -R 25  is independently chosen from H, C 1 -C 12  hydrocarbyl or OR″″, wherein R″″ is chosen from H or C 1 -C 12  hydrocarbyl; and 
     R 26  is H or a bond which together with R 25  forms ═O;
         (ii) at least one phosphite or phosphonite; and   (iii) a basic co-additive selected from alkali metal or alkaline metal salts of higher fatty acids;       

     In another aspect of the disclosure, a polymeric hollow article is made by a process comprising: a) filling a mold with a polyolefin and a stabilizing amount of the stabilizer composition; b) rotating the mold around at least one axis while heating the mold in an oven, thereby fusing the composition and spreading it to the walls of the mold; c) cooling the mold; and d) opening the mold to remove the resulting product, thereby producing the polymeric hollow article. 
     In another aspect of the disclosure, the polyolefin, vitamin E acetate, phosphite or phosphonite compound, and at least one basic co-additive, and amounts of the vitamin E acetate, phosphite or phosphonite compound, and at least one basic co-additive are selected so that at least one of the following results are obtained in a rotational molding operation employed to produce the polymeric hollow article, even in the absence of sterically hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS): a maximum mean failure energy (MFE) of the polymeric article is reached at a shorter time interval; a higher MFE of the polymeric article is retained over a longer heating time; or a processing window is enlarged to a peak internal air temperature (PIAT) of up to 452° F. with yellowness index of the article remaining substantially unchanged up to a PIAT of 452° F. 
     These and other objects, features and advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying Figures and Examples. 
    
    
     
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
         FIG. 1  illustrates the mean failure energy (MFE) of rotomolded parts made with control stabilizer system (♦) vs. low phenolic stabilizer system (▴) vs. a processing stabilizer system according to the invention (▪). As seen, the rotomolded part that was formulated with the stabilizer system according to the invention (▪) achieves the highest MFE (as determined by the Dart Drop Low Temperature Impact Resistance Test Procedure) at a shorter rotational molding time interval (given by peak internal air temperature) compared to the rotomolded part that was formulated with either the control stabilizer system (♦) or the low phenolic stabilizer system (▴). Furthermore, the rotomolded part formulated according to the invention unexpectedly retains a higher MFE at longer oven times than do the rotomolded parts formulated with either the control or low phenolic stabilizer systems. Accordingly, the benefit of using a processing stabilizer according to the invention in a rotational molding process is due to the use of a chroman-based compound and not due to use of a lower amount of phenolic/phosphite. 
         FIGS. 2A-B  illustrate the MFE of ¼″ rotomolded parts made with control stabilizer (♦) and stabilizer system according to the invention (▪) in a LLDPE resin provided by a particular supplier (Resin 1), and the Yellowness Index of the same rotomolded parts as a function of peak internal air temperature. 
         FIGS. 3A-B  illustrate the MFE of ¼″ rotomolded parts made with control/state-of-the-art stabilizer (♦); stabilizer system according to the invention (▪); and a second control/state-of-the-art stabilizer (▴) in a LLDPE resin provided by a different supplier (Resin 2), and the Yellowness Index of the same rotomolded parts as a function of peak internal air temperature.

Furthermore, the processes and compositions disclosed herein additionally (and surprisingly) provide a wider/broader processing window within which the desired final properties of the rotomolded article can be obtained before the physical and/or mechanical properties are negatively affected.

     Processes 
     Rotational molding technology is well known and described in the literature. Many aspects of the rotational molding process are described, for example, by R. J. Crawford and J. L. Throne in  Rotational Molding Technology , Plastics Design Library, William Andrew Publishing, 2001. The rotomolded articles described herein are made from stabilized polymer compositions according to the invention using rotational molding techniques generally accepted by those skilled in the art as being representative of commercial rotational molding processes. In general, these rotational molding techniques involve the use of a rotational mold and an oven. A polymer composition (e.g., a stabilized polymer composition including a stabilizer composition and a polymer composition as described herein) is placed in a mold possessing a predetermined shape. The mold is heated within the oven at a predetermined rate to a peak temperature. During heating, the resin melts and the mold is rotated in two or three dimensions to ensure that the melted resin evenly coats the interior surfaces of the mold. Optionally, the melted resin may be cured for a predetermined time. After heating is complete, the mold is removed from the oven and cooled (with the mold optionally being in rotation). Once cool, the formed plastic part is removed from the mold. 
     Surprisingly, it has now been found that when at least one chroman-based compound is added to the rotomolding resin formulation the time at which it takes to reach peak internal air temperature (PIAT) is reduced and a significantly broader processing window towards higher temperatures is achieved without adversely affecting the physical and/or mechanical properties of the molded article. 
     Consequently, in one aspect the invention provides a process for reducing cycle time while maintaining an enlarged process window in a rotational molding process for producing a polymeric hollow article by subjecting a polymer composition and a polymer-stabilizing amount of a stabilizer composition to a rotational molding process, wherein the stabilizer composition includes at least one chroman-based compound according to Formula V as described herein. 
     In certain embodiments, the cycle time of the process will be reduced by at least 4%, at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, or at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 40%, or at least 50% as compared to a process that does not include at least one chroman-based compound in the resin formulation. 
     In another aspect, the invention provides a process for producing a polymeric hollow article by a) filling a mold with a polymer composition and a polymer-stabilizing amount of a stabilizer composition, wherein the stabilizer composition includes at least one chroman-based compound according to Formula V as described herein; b) rotating the mold around at least one axis while heating the mold in an oven, thereby fusing the composition and spreading it to the walls of the mold; c) cooling the mold; and d) opening the mold to remove the resulting product, thereby producing a polymeric hollow article. 
     During the rotomolding process, the temperature of the oven can reach from 70° C. to 400° C., preferably from 280° C. to 400° C., and more preferably from 310° C. to 400° C. 
     The stabilized polymer compositions suitable for use with the aforementioned processes are further described below.

     In masterbatch compositions, the stabilizer composition is present from 0.001% to 65.0% by weight based on the total weight of the masterbatch composition, and the amount is based on the number and type of stabilizing additives being added and/or the characteristics of the polymer composition to be stabilized. In some embodiments, the stabilizer composition is present from 0.01% to 50% by weight of the total weight of the masterbatch composition, and preferably from 0.05% to 25% by weight of the total, or from 0.1% to 10% by weight of the total. Those of ordinary skill in the art will be able to readily determine the amount and type of stabilizing additive(s) that should be added based on preparations as known and/or described in the literature, or through no more than routine experimentation. 
     The stabilized polymer compositions according to the invention can be readily made by any suitable method known to those of skill in the art. In certain embodiments, the components of the stabilized polymer compositions are mixed by at least one technique chosen from extruding, pelletizing, grinding, and molding. In other embodiments, mixing can be performed by at least one of melting, dissolution in a solvent, and dry mixing. 
     The incorporation of components for the stabilizer composition and optional further additives into the polymer composition is carried out by any suitable method known to those of skill in the art, for example before or after molding or also by applying the dissolved or dispersed stabilizer mixture to the polyolefin, with or without subsequent evaporation of the solvent. The stabilizer components and optional further additives can also be added to the polymer compositions to be stabilized in the form of a masterbatch. 
     Components of the stabilizer composition and optional further additives can also be added before or during the polymerization or before crosslinking. They can also be incorporated into the polymer composition to be stabilized in pure form (i.e., neat and directly to the resin) or encapsulated in waxes, oils or polymers. Various additives can also be preblended (i.e., mixed together) for simple addition to the polymer compositions to be stabilized. Components of the stabilizer composition and optional further additives can also be sprayed onto the polymer compositions to be stabilized. They are able to dilute other additives (for example the conventional additives indicated above) or their melts so that they can be sprayed also together with these additives onto the polymer compositions to be stabilized. In the case of spherically polymerized polymers it may, for example, be advantageous to apply components of the stabilizer composition optionally together with other additives, by spraying. 
     It is also contemplated that the components of the stabilizer compositions and/or polymer compositions described herein may be contained in a kit. The kit may include single or multiple components of at least one stabilizer composition according to the invention, at least one polymer composition according to the invention, and at least one further optional additive, each packaged or formulated individually, or single or multiple components of at least one stabilizer composition according to the invention, at least one polymer composition according to the invention, and at least one further optional additive packaged or formulated in combination. Thus, one or more components of a stabilizer composition can be present in first container, and the kit can optionally include one or more components of the stabilizer composition and/or polymer composition in a second or further container. The container or containers are placed within a package, and the package can optionally include administration or mixing instructions in the form of a label or website address on the package, or in the form of an insert included in the packaging of the kit. A kit can include additional components or other means for administering or mixing the components as well as solvents or other means for formulation. 
     As can be seen from the following examples, the polyolefin, chroman-based compound, phosphite or phosphonite, and at least one basic co-additive, and amounts of the chroman-based compound, phosphite or phosphonite, and at least one basic co-additive can be selected so that the polyolefin remains stable and retains its optimal mechanical and/or physical properties over a longer period of time in the oven, even in the absence of a sterically hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). 
     As can be further seen from the following examples, the polyolefin, chroman-based compound, phosphite or phosphonite, and at least one basic co-additive, and amounts of the chroman-based compound, phosphite or phosphonite, and at least one basic co-additive can be selected so that at least one of the following results are obtained in a rotational molding operation employed to produce the polymeric hollow article, even in the absence of a sterically hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS): 
     a maximum mean failure energy (MFE) of the polymeric article is reached at a shorter time interval; 
     a higher MFE of the polymeric article is retained over a longer heating time; or 
     a processing window is enlarged to a peak internal air temperature (PIAT) of up to 452° F. with yellowness index of the article remaining substantially unchanged up to a PIAT of 452° F. 
     Notably, these results were obtained, even in the absence of sterically hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), for example in the absence of secondary HALS as disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009/0085252 A1. These results were also obtained, even in the absence of antistatic agents, for example in the absence of the ethoxylated amines and ethoxylated amides as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2006/0167146 A1.

     EXAMPLES 
     The following examples are provided to assist one skilled in the art to further understand certain embodiments of the present disclosure. These examples are intended for illustration purposes and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the various embodiments of the present disclosure. 
     Example 1—Preparation of Polyolefin Hollow Articles Using the Rotational Molding Process 
     50-lb. batches of LLDPE formulated with any type of commercially available stabilizer additive package is dry blended and compounded at 190° C. on a Davis Standard single screw extruder, with a 24:1 L/D screw with a mixing head running at 65 RPM. The resulting pellets are ground to rotomesh powder (less than 35 micron) on a Reduction Engineering pulverizor. 
     Using enough resin to produce a ⅛″-¼″ thick walled part, the formulation is rotationally molded using laboratory scale equipment (e.g., a Ferry E-40 shuttle rotational molder). The ground resin is placed in a cast aluminum mold, which is rotated biaxially in a gas fired oven heated to a temperature of 630° F. (332° C.). The arm ratio for the cast aluminum mold is 8:2. After rotating in the oven for specific time intervals, the mold is removed from the oven and air cooled for 13 minutes while still rotating, followed by a 2 minute water spray, and then 1 minute in circulating air. After the cooling cycle, the mold is opened and the hollow part is removed and then tested by measuring the mean failure energy (MFE) of the part. Sections can be cut from the part and then tested according to the “Dart Drop Low Temperature Impact Resistance Test Procedure,” per American Rotational Molders (ARM). 
     Formulations that achieve the highest mean fracture energy (MFE) at the shortest rotational molding time interval are desirable (reduced cycle time), as well as formulations that show retention of high MFE at longer cycle times (broad process window). 
     The color (or yellowness) of the molded part can also be tested. Prior to the impact test, the impact specimen from the upper left corner is read for color. The sample is read using a GretagMacbeth Color i7 spectrophotometer. The yellowness according to ASTM D1925 is reported from the mold side of the roto molded part. Positive yellowness values indicates presence and magnitude of yellowness (generally unfavorable), while a negative yellowness value indicates that a material appears bluish (generally favorable).

     In all cases the LLDPE resin contains 0.035% by weight of the total polymer composition of zinc stearate. The samples are rotomolded and tested according to the ARM procedure as described in Example 1. The stabilizer formulations of the present invention provide superior and unexpected properties compared to the state-of-the-art stabilizer formulations used in the rotomolding process. The mean failure energy (MFE) of the sample containing the stabilizer formulation according to the invention reached maximum MFE sooner than either of the control sample containing the typical commercial stabilizer system or the sample containing the low phenolic stabilizer system, and also maintained a higher MFE for a longer period of time than expected ( FIG. 1 ). Accordingly, the rotomolded LLDPE sample containing the stabilizer formulation according to the invention gave superior performance over both the control sample and the low phenolic sample.

     The samples are rotomolded and tested according to the ARM procedure as described in Example 1, to ¼″ thickness. The stabilizer formulations of the present invention provide superior and unexpected properties compared to the state-of-the-art stabilizer formulations used in the rotomolding process. The mean failure energy (MFE) of the sample containing the stabilizer formulation according to the invention reached maximum MFE sooner than the control sample containing the typical commercial stabilizer system or the sample containing the low phenolic stabilizer system, and also maintained a higher MFE for a longer period of time than expected ( FIG. 2A ). Accordingly, the rotomolded LLDPE sample containing the stabilizer formulation according to the invention gave superior performance over both the control sample and the low phenolic sample. 
     The Yellowness Index is also tested. As seen in  FIG. 2B , the Yellowness Index remains relatively flat in the rotomolded part made with the stabilizer system according to the invention even as the peak internal air temperature rises. Conversely, the Yellowness Index rises as the peak internal air temperature rises in the Control sample.

     The samples are rotomolded and tested according to the ARM procedure as described in Example 1, to ¼″ thickness. Again, it is seen that the stabilizer formulations of the present invention provide superior and unexpected properties compared to the state-of-the-art stabilizer formulations used in the rotomolding process. The mean failure energy (MFE) of the sample containing the stabilizer formulation according to the invention reached maximum MFE sooner than either of the control sample containing the typical commercial stabilizer system or the sample containing the low phenolic stabilizer system, and also maintained a higher MFE for a longer period of time than expected ( FIG. 3A ). Accordingly, the rotomolded LLDPE sample containing the stabilizer formulation according to the invention gave superior performance over both the control samples. 
     The Yellowness Index is also tested. As seen in  FIG. 3B , the Yellowness Index remains lower as the peak internal air temperature rises in the rotomolded part made with the stabilizer system according to the invention than with either of the control samples. 
     The results demonstrate that the heating times required to achieve optimal cure of a polyolefin article using a standard rotomolding process can be reduced by using the processing stabilizer systems described in detail herein. Reduction of heating times provides the direct benefits of lower energy costs and increased production efficiency without compromising physical and/or mechanical properties of the rotomolded article. The new rotomolding processing stabilizer systems described herein are also shown to provide a broad processing window, thereby enabling the production of parts having high impact strength over a broader range of peak internal air temperatures or heating times versus conventional processing stabilizer systems. Accordingly, these new processing stabilizer systems provide an excellent alternative to other approaches and/or systems to accelerate the sintering/densification of the polymer resin during the rotomolding process.
