Patent ID: 7442325

Claim:
A stabilized crosslinking composition consisting essentially of: (I) a compound of Formula I: A′-NR A —R D (Formula 1), in which A′ is selected from: (a) a monovalent moiety of a compound selected from: linear ureas, cyclic ureas, cyanuric acid, substituted cyanuric acids, linear amides, cyclic amides, glycolurils, hydantoins, linear carbamates, cyclic carbamates and mixtures thereof, and (b) a moiety of Formula 2: R A is selected from: R D , hydrogen, C 1-20 alkyl, and where R A taken together with A′ forms a cyclic compound; R D is <—CHR C OR B , where R B is selected from: hydrogen, C 1-24 alkyl, C 3-24 aryl, C 4-24 aralkyl and C 4-24 alkaryl; and R C is selected from: optionally halogenated C 1-24 alkyl; C 3-24 aryl, optionally halogenated C 4-24 aralkyl; C 2-24 alkoxyalkyl, and C 4-24 alkaryl, and A is a monovalent moiety of a compound selected from: linear ureas, cyclic ureas, cyanuric acid, substituted cyanuric acids, linear amides, cyclic amides, glycolurils, hydantoins, linear carbamates, cyclic carbamates and mixtures thereof; B is a divalent residue of a poly(alkylaldehyde) with n aldehyde groups; n is an integer of from 2 to 8 (inclusive); R a is selected from: R d , hydrogen, C 1-20 alkyl and where R a taken together with A forms a cyclic compound; and R b selected from: hydrogen, C 1-24 alkyl, C 3-24 aryl, C 4-24 aralkyl and C 4-24 alkaryl; where R d is selected from: a radical <—CHR C OR b and a moiety of Formula 3: R c is selected from: optionally halogenated C 1-24 alkyl; C 3-24 aryl; optionally halogenated C 4-24 aralkyl; C 2-24 alkoxyalkyl; and C 4-24 alkaryl; and where, when A′ is from a compound other than triazine, the alkyl and aryl groups in each radical may optionally have heteroatoms in their structure; (II) a carboxylic acid group containing organic acid stabilizer in amount of from 1:50 to 50:1 moles of the amount of moles of (I) the compound of Formula 1; and (III) a solvent.
