The invention relates to 1,3-disubstituted 6-aminouracils which are of the formula I depicted below and are intended for stabilizing chlorine-containing polymers, especially PVC.
PVC can be stabilized by a range of additives. Compounds of lead, of barium and of cadmium are particularly suitable for this purpose but are nowadays controversial on ecological grounds or because of their heavy metal content (cf. “Kunststoffadditive”, R. G{umlaut over (a)}chter/H. M{umlaut over (u)}ller, Carl Hanser Verlag, 3rd ed., 1989, pages 303-311, and “Kunststoff Handbuch PVC”, volume 2/1, W. Becker/D. Braun, Carl Hanser Verlag, 2nd ed., 1985, pages 531-538; and also Kirk-Othmer: “Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology”, 4th ed., 1994, Vol. 12, Heat Stabilizers, pp. 1071-1091). The search therefore continues for effective stabilizers and stabilizer combinations which are free from lead, barium and cadmium.
1,3-disubstituted aminouracils have already been described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,436,362, U.S. Pat. No. 4,656,209, U.S. Pat. No. 4,352,903 and EP-A-0 768 336 and can be prepared by known methods in one (or more) process steps.
It has now been found that the 1,3-disubstituted 6-aminoruacils of the general formula I
R1 and R2 independently of one another are C1-C18-alkyl, C3-C6-alkenyl, unsubstituted or C1-C4-alkoxy-, C5-C8-cycloalkyl-, —OH— and/or Cl-substituted C1-C18-alkyl, C5-C8-cycloalkyl, phenyl or C7-C9-phenylalkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted on the phenyl ring by C1-C4-alkyl, C1-C4-alkoxy, C5-C8-cycloalkyl, —OH and /or Cl, and
are particularly suitable for stabilizing chlorine-containing polymers such as PVC, for example.
For compounds of the formula I,
C1-C4-alkyl is, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-, i-, sec- or t-butyl.
C5-C18-alkyl is, for example, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, i-octyl, decyl, nonyl, undecyl, dodecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, etc.
Preference is given to methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl, especially methyl.
C1-C12-Alkoxy is, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, n-, i- and tert-butoxy, n-, i-, tert- and neo-pentoxy, hexoxy etc.
Methoxy and ethoxy are preferred.
C6-C8-Alkylphenoxy is, for example, methylphenoxy, dimethylphenoxy or ethylphenoxy.
C7-C9-Alkoxyphenyl is, for example, methoxyphenyl, dimethoxyphenyl, trimethoxypenyl, ethoxyphenyl, propoxyphenyl, etc.
C3-C6-alkenyl is allyl, 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, isobutenyl, 1-pentenyl, 2-pentenyl, 3-pentenyl, 4-pentenyl, 1-hexenyl, 2-hexenyl, 3-hexenyl, 4-hexenyl, 5-hexenyl and their isomers. Preference is given to allyl.
C5-C8-cycloalkyl is, for example, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl or cyclooctyl, preferably cyclohexyl.
C7-C10-phenylalkyl is, for example, benzyl, 1- or 2-phenylethyl, 3-phenylpropyl, α,α-dimethylbenzyl or 2-phenylisopropyl, preferably benzyl and 2-phenethyl, especially benzyl.
If the aromatic radical is substituted then it is preferably substituted by three, two or, in particular, one substituent and the substituents are, in particular, hydroxyl, methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, methoxy or ethoxy.
Preference is given to compounds of the formula I in which Y is oxygen and to those in which the radicals R1 and R2 independently of one another are C1-C8-alkyl, allyl or C7-C9-phenylalkyl.
Further advantageous compounds are those in which Y is sulfur.
Preference is also given to compounds of the formula I in which R3 is C9-C18-alkyl or —OH-substituted C1-C12-alkyl, cyclohexyl, allyl, C7-C9-phenylalkyl, or —OH—, C1-C4-alkyl-, C1-C4-alkoxy-, —C═O(OR4)— and/or —O—COR4-substituted phenyl or naphthyl. Very particular preference is given to compounds of the formula I in which R1 and R2 are C1-C4-alkyl and R3 is —OH-substituted C1-C4-alkyl, benzyl, phenyl, —OH-substituted phenyl, or phenyl which is substituted by —OH and from 1 to 3 times by C1-C4-alkyl.
pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, trimethylolethane, bistrimethylolpropane, inositol (cyclitols), polyvinyl alcohol, bis-trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, sorbitol (hexitols), maltitol, isomaltitol, cellobiitol, lactitol, lycasine, mannitol, lactose, leucrose, tris(hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, tris(hydroxypropyl) isocyanurate, palatinitol, tetramethylolcyclohexanol, tetramethylolcyclopentanol, tetramethylolcyclopyranol, xylitol, arabinitol (pentitols), tetritols, glycerol, diglycerol, polyglycerol, thiodiglycerol or 1-O-α-D-glycopyranosyl-D-mannitol dihydrate.
Of these, preference is given to the disaccharide alcohols.
It is also possible to use polyol syrups, such as sorbitol, mannitol and maltitol syrup. The polyols can be employed in an amount of, for example, from 0.01 to 20, judiciously from 0.1 to 20 and, in particular, from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of PVC.
Examples are those of the formula M(ClO4)n, in which M is Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Al, La or Ce. Depending on the valency of M, the index n is 1, 2 or 3. The perchlorate salts can be present as solutions or can have been complexed with alcohols (polyols, cyclodextrins) or ether alcohols or ester alcohols. The ester alcohols also include the polyol partial esters. In the case of polyhydric alcohols or polyols, their dimers, trimers, oligomers and polymers are also suitable, such as di-, tri-, tetra- and polyglycols and also di-, tri- and tetrapentaerythritol or polyvinyl alcohol in various degrees of polymerization.
Other suitable solvents are phosphate esters and also cyclic and acyclic carbonates.
In this context, the perchlorate salts can be employed in various common forms of presentation; for example, as a salt or solution in water or an organic solvent as such, or adsorbed on a support material such as PVC, Ca silicate, zeolites or hydrotalcites, or bound by chemical reaction into a hydrotalcite or into another layered lattice compound. As polyol partial ethers, preference is given to glycerol monoethers and glycerol monothioethers.
Further embodiments are described in EP 0 394 547, EP 0 457 471 and WO 94/24200.
The perchlorates can be employed in an amount of, for example, from 0.001 to 5, judiciously from 0.01 to 3, and, with particular preference, from 0.01 to 2 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of PVC.
attached directly to carbon, oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms, and in such compounds R1 and R3 are either both hydrogen and R2 is hydrogen or methyl and n is 0 or R1 and R3 together are —CH2—CH2— or —CH2—CH2—CH2— and in that case R2 is hydrogen and n is 0 or 1.
However, it is also possible to employ cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids, such as, for example, cyclohexanecarboxylic, tetrahydrophthalic, 4-methyltetrahydrophthalic, hexahydrophthalic or 4-methylhexahydrophthalic acid.
Aromatic carboxylic acids can also be used, examples being benzoic, phthalic, isophthalic, trimellitic and pyromellitic acid.
It is likewise possible to make use of carboxyl-terminated adducts of, for example, trimellitic acid with polyols, such as glycerol or 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)propane. Other epoxide compounds which can be used in the context of this invention are given in EP 0 506 617.
Ethers of this type are derived, for example, from acyclic alcohols, such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and higher poly(oxyethylene) glycols, propane-1,2-diol, or poly(oxypropylene) glycols, propane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol, poly(oxytetramethylene) glycols, pentane-1,5-diol, hexane-1,6-diol, hexane-2,4,6-triol, glycerol, 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane, bistri-methylolpropane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, and from polyepichlorohydrins, butanol, amyl alcohol, pentanol, and from monofunctional alcohols such as isooctanol, 2-ethylhexanol, isodecanol and also C7-C9-alkanol and C9-C11-alkanol mixtures. They are also derived, however, for example, from cycloaliphatic alcohols, such as 1,3- or 1,4-dihydroxycyclohexane, bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)methane, 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)propane or 1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohex-3-ene, or they possess aromatic nuclei, such as N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aniline or p,p′-bis(2-hydroxyethylamino)diphenylmethane.
The epoxide compounds can also be derived from mononuclear phenols, such as, for example, from phenol, resorcinol or hydroquinone; or, they are based on polynuclear phenols, such as, for example, on bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane, on 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone or on condensates of phenols with formaldehyde obtained under acidic conditions, such as phenol novolaks.
Examples of further possible terminal epoxides are: glycidyl 1-naphthyl ether, glycidyl 2-phenylphenyl ether, 2-biphenylyl glycidyl ether, N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)phthalimide and 2,3-epoxypropyl 4-methoxyphenyl ether.
However, the N-glycidyl compounds also include N,N′-di, N,N′,N″-tri- and N,N′,N″,N′″-tetraglycidyl derivatives of cycloalkyleneureas, such as ethyleneurea or 1,3-propyleneurea and N,N′-diglycidyl derivatives of hydantoins, such as of 5,5-dimethylhydantoin or glycoluril and triglycidyl isocyanurate.
IV) S-Glycidyl compounds such as di-S-glycidyl derivatives derived from dithiols, such as ethane-1,2-dithiol or bis(4-mercaptomethylphenyl) ether, for example.
V) Epoxy compounds having a radical of the above formula in which R1 and R3 together are —CH2—CH2— and n is 0 are bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyl) ether, 2,3-epoxycyclopentylglycidyl ether or 1,2-bis(2,3-epoxycyclopentyloxy) ethane. An epoxy resin having a radical of the above formula in which R1 and R3 together are —CH2—CH2— and n is 1 is, for example, (3′,4′-epoxy-6′-methylcyclohexyl)methyl 3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate.
a)liquid bisphenol A diglycidyl ethers, such as Araldit®GY 240, Araldit®GY 250, Araldit®GY 260, Araldit®GY 266, Araldit®GY 2600, Araldit®MY 790;
b)solid bisphenol A diglycidyl ethers, such as Araldit®GT 6071, Araldit®GT 7071, Araldit®GT 7072, Araldit®GT 6063, Araldit®GT 7203, Araldit®GT 6064, Araldit®GT 7304, Araldit®GT 7004, Araldit®GT 6084, Araldit®GT 1999, Araldit®GT 7077, Araldit®GT 6097, Araldit®GT 7097, Araldit®GT 7008, Araldit®GT 6099, Araldit®GT 6608, Araldit®GT 6609, Araldit®GT 6610;

l) tetraglycidyl-4,4′-methylenebenzamine or N,N,N′,N′-tetraglycidyldiamino-phenylmethane, such as Araldit®MY 720, Araldit®MY 721.
Preference is given to the use of epoxy compounds having two functional groups. In principle, however, it is also possible to employ epoxy compounds having one, three or more functional groups.
Use is made predominantly of epoxy compounds, especially diglycidyl compounds, having aromatic groups.
If desired, it is also possible to employ a mixture of different epoxy compounds. Particular preference is given as terminal epoxy compounds to diglycidyl ethers based on bisphenols, such as on 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (bisphenol A), bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane or mixtures of bis(ortho/para-hydroxyphenyl)methane (bisphenol F), for example.
The terminal epoxy compounds can be employed in an amount of preferably at least 0.1 part, for example from 0.1 to 50, judiciously from 1 to 30 and in particular, from 1 to 25 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of PVC.
The chemical composition of these compounds is known to the person skilled in the art, for example, from patents DE 3 843 581, U.S. Pat. No. 4,000,100, EP 0 062 813 and WO 93/20135.

The zeolites indicated can also be lower in water content, or anhydrous. Further suitable zeolites are:

Na2O.Al2O3.2 SiO2.(3.5-10)H2O (zeolite MAP)
K4Al4Si4O16.6H2O [zeolite K-F]
Na8Al8Si40O96.24H2O [zeolite D], as described in Barrer et al., J. Chem. Soc. 1952, 1561-71, and in U.S. Pat. No. 2,950,952;
Na3K6Al9Si27O72.21 H2O [zeolite L];

Particular preference is given to zeolite P grades of the above formula in which x is from 2 to 5 and y is from 3.5 to 10, and very particular preference is given to zeolite MAP of the standard formula in which x is 2 and y is from 3.5 to 10. In particular, the zeolite concerned is zeolite Na-P, i.e. M is Na. This zeolite generally occurs in the variants Na-P-1, Na-P-2 and Na-P-3, which differ in their cubic, tetragonal or orthorhombic structure (R. M. Barrer, B. M. Munday, J. Chem. Soc. A 1971, 2909-14). The literature reference just referred to also describes the preparation of zeolite P-1 and P-2. According to that reference, Zeolite P-3 is very rare and is therefore of virtually no practical interest. The structure of the zeolite P-1 corresponds to the gismondite structure known from the abovementioned Atlas of Zeolite Structures. In recent literature (EP-A-384 070) a distinction is made between cubic (zeolite B or Pc) and tetragonal (zeolite P1) zeolites of the P type. Also mentioned therein are relatively new zeolites of the P type having Si:Al ratios below 1.07:1. These are zeolites having the designation MAP or MA-P, for “Maximum Aluminum P”.
Depending on the preparation process, zeolite P may also include small fractions of other zeolites. Highly pure zeolite P has been described in WO 94/26662. Within the scope of the invention it is also possible to use those finely divided, water-insoluble sodium aluminosilicates which have been precipitated and crystallized in the presence of water-soluble organic or inorganic dispersants. These can be introduced into the reaction mixture in any desired manner, prior to or during the precipitation and crystallization.
The hydrotalcites and/or zeolites can be employed in amounts, for example, from 0.1 to 20, judiciously from 0.1 to 10 and, in particular, from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of halogen-containing polymer.
Further customary additives can also be added to the compositions of the invention, such as stabilizers, auxiliaries and processing aids, examples being alkali metal compounds and alkaline earth metal compounds, lubricants, plasticizers, pigments, fillers, phosphites, thiophosphites and thiophosphates, mercaptocarboxylic esters, epoxidized fatty acid esters, antioxidants, UV absorbers and light stabilizers, optical brighteners, impact modifiers and processing aids, gelling agents, antistats, biocides, metal passivators, flame retardants and blowing agents, antifog agents, compatibilizers and antiplateouts agents. (cf. “Handbook of PVC Formulating” by E. J. Wickson, John Wiley & Sons, New York 1993). Examples of such additives are as follows:
Fillers (HANDBOOK OF PVC FORMULATING E. J. Wickson, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1993, pp. 393-449) and reinforcing agents (TASCHENBUCH der KUNSTSTOFFADDITIVE, R. G{umlaut over (a)}chter & H. M{umlaut over (e)}ller, Carl Hanser, 1990, pp. 549-615) are, for example, calcium carbonate, dolomite, wollastonite, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, silicates, china clay, talc, glass fibers, glass beads, wood flour, mica, metal oxides, or metal hydroxides, carbon black, graphite, rock flour, heavy spar, glass fibers, talc, kaolin and chalk. Chalk is preferred. The fillers can be employed in an amount of preferably at least 1 part, for example, from 5 to 200, judiciously from 10 to 150 and, in particular, from 15 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of PVC.
II. Metal soaps
Metal soaps are primarily metal carboxylates of preferably relatively long-chain carboxylic acids. Familiar examples are stearates and laurates, and also oleates and salts of shorter-chain alkanecarboxylic acids. Alkylbenzoic acids are also said to be included under metal soaps. Metals which may be mentioned are Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Al, La, Ce and rare earth metals. Use is often made of what are known as synergistic mixtures, such as barium/zinc, magnesium/zinc, calcium/zinc or calcium/magnesium/zinc stabilizers. The metal soaps can be employed individually or in mixtures. A review of common metal soaps is given in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Ed., Vol. A16 (1985), p. 361 ff.). It is judicious to use organic metal soaps from the series of the aliphatic saturated C2-C22 carboxylates, the aliphatic unsaturated C3-C22 carboxylates, the aliphatic C2-C22 carboxylates substituted by at least one OH group, the cyclic and bicyclic carboxylates having 5-22 carbon atoms, the unsubstituted benzenecarboxylates substituted by at least one OH group and/or by C1-C16-alkyl, the unsubstituted naphthalenecarboxylates substituted by at least one OH group and/or by C1-C16-alkyl, the phenyl C1-C16-alkylcarboxylates, the naphthyl C1-C16-alkylcarboxylates or the unsubstituted or C1-C12-alkyl-substituted phenolates, tallates and resinates.
Named examples which may be mentioned are the zinc, calcium, magnesium or barium salts of monovalent carboxylic acids such as acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, hexanoic, enanthoic, octanoic, neodecanoic, 2-ethylhexanoic, pelargonic, decanoic, undecanoic, dodecanoic, tridecanoic, myristic, palmitic, isostearic, stearic, 12-hydroxystearic, behenic, benzoic, p-tert-butylbenzoic, N,N-dimethylhydroxybenzoic, 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic, toluic, dimethylbenzoic, ethylbenzoic, n-propylbenzoic, salicylic, p-tert-octylsalicyclic and sorbic acid; calcium, magnesium and zinc salts of the monoesters of divalent carboxylic acids such as oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, fumaric, pentane-1,5-dicarboxylic, hexane-1,6-dicarboxylic, heptane-1,7-dicarboxylic, octane-1,8-dicarboxylic, phthalic, isophthalic, terephthalic and hydroxyphthalic acid; and of the di- or triesters of tri- or tetravalent carboxylic acids such as hemimellitic, trimellitic, pyromellitic and citric acid.
Preference is given to calcium, magnesium and zinc carboxylates of carboxylic acids having 7 to 18 carbon atoms (metal soaps in the narrow sense), such as, for example, benzoates or alkanoates, preferably stearate, oleate, laurate, palmitate, behenate, hydroxystearates, dihydroxystearates or 2-ethylhexanoate. Particular preference is given to stearate, oleate and p-tert-butylbenzoate. Overbased carboxylates, such as overbased zinc octoate, are also preferred. Preference is likewise given to overbased calcium soaps.
If desired, it is also possible to employ a mixture of carboxylates of different structures.
Preference is given to compositions, as described, comprising an organozoic and/or organocalcium compound.

Examples of the chlorine-containing polymers to be stabilized are: polymers of vinyl chloride and of vinylidene chloride, vinyl resins comprising vinyl chloride units in their structure, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride, and vinyl esters of aliphatic acids, especially vinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl chloride with esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid and with acrylonitrile, copolymers of vinyl chloride with diene compounds and unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride with diethyl maleate, diethyl fumarate or maleic anhydride, post-chlorinated polymers and copolymers of vinyl chloride, copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride with unsaturated aldehydes, ketones and others, such as acrolein, crotonaldehyde, vinyl methyl ketone, vinyl methyl ether, vinyl isobutyl ether and the like; polymers of vinylidene chloride and its copolymers with vinyl chloride and other polymerizable compounds; polymers of vinyl chloroacetate and dichlorodivinyl ether; chlorinated polymers of vinyl acetate, chlorinated polymeric esters of acrylic acid and of alpha-substituted acrylic acid; polymers of chlorinated styrenes, for example dichlorostyrene; chlorinated rubbers; chlorinated polymers of ethylene; polymers and post-chlorinated polymers of chlorobutadiene and copolymers thereof with vinyl chloride, chlorinated natural and synthetic rubbers, and also mixtures of these polymers with one another or with other polymerizable compounds. In the context of this invention, PVC also embraces copolymers with polymerizable compounds such as acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate or ABS, which can be suspension, bulk or emulsion polymers. Preference is given to a PVC homopolymer, alone or in combination with polyacrylates. Also included are graft polymers of PVC with EVA, ABS and MBS. Preferred substrates are also mixtures of the abovementioned homo- and copolymers, especially vinyl chloride homopolymers, with other thermoplastic and/or elastomeric polymers, especially blends with ABS, MBS, NBR, SAN, EVA, CPE, MBAS, PMA, PMMA, EPDM and polyactones.
Examples of such components are compositions of (i) 20-80 parts by weight of a vinyl chloride homopolymer (PVC) and (ii) 80-20 parts by weight of at least one thermoplastic copolymer based on styrene and acrylonitrile, in particular from the group ABS, NBR, NAR, SAN and EVA. The abbreviations used for the copolymers are familiar to the person skilled in the art and have the following meanings: ABS: acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene; SAN: styrene-acrylonitrile; NBR: acrylonitrile-butadiene; NAR: acrylonitrile-acrylate; EVA: ethylene-vinyl acetate. Also suitable in particular are acrylate-based styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers (ASA). Preferred components in this context are polymer compositions comprising as components (i) and (ii) a mixture of
25-75% by weight PVC and 75-25% by weight of the abovementioned copolymers. Examples of such compositions are: 24-50% by weight PVC and 75-50% by weight copolymers of 40-75% by weight PVC and 60-25% by weight copolymers. Preferred copolymers are ABS, SAN and modified EVA, especially ABS, NBR, NAR and EVA are also particularly suitable. In the composition of the invention it is possible for one or more of the abovementioned copolymers to be present. Particularly important components are compositions comprising (i) 100 parts by weight of PVC and (ii) 0-300 parts by weight of ABS and/or SAN-modified ABS and 0-80 parts by weight of the copolymers NBR, NAR and/or EVA, but especially EVA.
For stabilization in the context of this invention, further suitable polymers are, in particular, recyclates of chlorine-containing polymers, these polymers being the polymers described in more detail above that have also undergone damage through processing, use or storage. PVC recyclate is particularly preferred. The recyclates may also include small amounts of extraneous substances, such as, for example, paper, pigments, adhesives, which are often difficult to remove. These extraneous substances may also arise from contact with various materials in the course of use or reprocessing, examples being residues of fuel, fractions of coating material, traces of metal and residues of initiator.
Stabilization in accordance with the invention is of particular advantage in the context of PVC formulations as are customary for pipes and profiles. Stabilization can be effected without heavy metal compounds (Sn, Pb, Cd, Zn stabilizers). This characteristic offers advantages in certain fields, since heavy metals—with the exception of zinc at best—are often unwanted both during the production and during the use of certain PVC articles, on ecological grounds. The production of heavy metal stabilizers also often causes problems from an industrial hygiene standpoint. Similarly, the processing of ores containing heavy metals is frequently associated with serious effects on the environment, the environment here including the biosystem of humankind, animals (fish), plants, the air and soil. For these reasons, the incineration and landfilling of plastics containing heavy metals is also disputed.
The stabilizers can judiciously be incorporated by the following methods: as an emulsion or dispersion (one possibility, for example, is the form of a pastelike mixture. An advantage of the combination of the invention in the case of this form is the stability of the paste); as a dry mix in the course of the mixing of additional components or polymer mixtures; by direct addition to the processing apparatus (e.g. calenders, mixers, compounders, extruders and the like), or as a solution or melt or as flakes or pellets in dust-free form as a one-pack product.
The PVC stabilizer in accordance with the invention, to which the invention likewise relates, can be prepared in a manner known per se using devices known per se such as the abovementioned processing apparatus to mix the stabilizer combination of the invention and any further additives with the PVC. In this case, the stabilizers can be added individually or as a mixture or else in the form of so-called masterbatches.
The PVC stabilized in accordance with the present invention can be brought into the desired form by known methods. Examples of such methods are milling, calendering, extruding, injection molding or spinning, and also extrusion blow molding. The stabilized PVC can also be processed to foam materials.
A PVC stabilized in accordance with the invention is suitable, for example, for hollow articles (bottles), packaging films (thermoform sheets), blown films, pipes, foam materials, heavy profiles (window frames), transparent-wall profiles, construction profiles, sidings, fittings, office films and apparatus enclosures (computers, domestic appliances).
Preference is given to PVC rigid foam articles and PVC pipes for drinking water or wastewater, pressure pipes, gas pipes, cable-duct and cable protection pipes, pipes for industrial pipelines, seepage pipes, flowoff pipes, guttering pipes and drainage pipes.

Preparation Examples Example 4
A 1 l 4-neck flask with KPG stirrer, air condenser, thermometer and bubble counter is charged under nitrogen with 155.2 g (1.0 mol) of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, 160 g (1.1 mol) of 2-aminophenol hydrochloride and 300 g of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether and this initial charge is stirred at 145-155° C. for 75 minutes. Subsequently, the reaction mixture is cooled to 10° C., the precipitated crystals are filtered off on a suction filter, and the filter product is washed twice with 100 ml of i-propanol each time. The crystals are dried in a vacuum drying cabinet at 80° C. This dried residue of 244.1 g is then stirred with 300 g of water for 30 minutes and the reaction product is filtered off with suction, washed with 100 g of water and dried.
Yield: 188.6 g (≈76.3% of theory) of white, crystalline powder (m.p. 228-230° C.)
A mixture of 43.5 g (0.357 mol) of p-anisidine, 27.3 g (0.176 mol) of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil and 20 g of 32% strength hydrochloric acid is heated to 150° C. with stirring over the course of 1.5 hours. During the heating phase, the water is distilled off. The reaction mixture is stirred at 150° C. for a further 1.5 hours, and then cooled to 90° C., 100 ml of methanol are added, and the mixture is heated at reflux for 30 minutes and then cooled to 5° C. The crystalline precipitate is filtered off with suction and subsequently recrystallized from a mixture of 200 ml of n-propanol/60 ml of water.
Yield: 18.3 g (≈40% of theory) of white crystals (m.p. 167-168° C.)
26.2 g (0.15 mol) of 6-chloro-1,3-dimethyluracil, 20 g of ethanolamine and 50 ml of water are heated at 20° C. with stirring for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitated crystals are filtered off with suction, washed with THF and then dried. This gives a crude product yield of 28.8 g of light brown crystals. For further purification, these brownish crystals are heated with a solution of 100 ml of methanol/n-propanol (1:1) and 1 g of sodium hydroxide, the cloudy component is removed by filtration, the filtrate is cooled, and the precipitated white crystals are filtered off with suction and dried.
Yield: 22.4 g (≈75% of theory) of white crystals (m.p. 179-181° C.)
Static Heat Test
The mixtures in accordance with the following tables and their keys are each plasticated on a set of mixing rolls for 5 minutes at 180° C. or 190° C. Test strips are cut from the resultant films (thickness 0.3 mm) and these strips are subjected to thermal stress at 190° C. in a Mathis Thermo-Takter for the period indicated in the table below. Subsequently, the yellowness Index (YI) is determined in accordance with ASTM-1925-70. The lower the YI found, the more effective the stabilizer system.
The results are shown in Table 2 below. Low YI values denote good stabilization.
