Abstract:
A method is described for the decomposition of polymers, especially waste plastics and used plastics, in which so-called NOR--HALS compounds--that is, for example, compounds comprising the group ##STR1## in which R* is C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, OH-substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, optionally C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl-substituted C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 cycloalkyl or O- or S-interrupted C.sub.2 -C.sub.20 alkyl--are added and heating is carried out at temperatures which lie above the customary processing temperatures for polymers (280.degree. C. or more).
Abstract:
Compounds which contain peroxide linkages as well as a hindered amine light stabilizer moiety of low basicity function as free radical polymerization initiators and provide a polymer containing a hindered amine stabilizer chemically bonded to said polymer. The low basicity of the instant compounds prevents interaction with acid catalysts used in some polymerization systems.
Abstract:
N-OR.sub.1 substituted hindered amine light stabilizers impart outstanding stabilization properties to acid catalyzed thermoset coating compositions providing enhanced resistance against the deleterious effects of light, moisture or oxygen without inhibition of cure.
Abstract:
Long chain N-alkyl-alpha-alkyl nitrones represent particularly valuable process stabilizers for polyolefin compositions. The nitrone derived from the long chain alkyl mixture present in di(hydrogenated tallow)amine is especially useful for this purpose.
Abstract:
5-alpha-Cumyl-2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole and related 2H-benzotriazoles substituted on the benzo ring by at least one aralkyl group such as benzyl, alpha-methylbenzyl or alpha-cumyl exhibit outstanding efficacy in protecting organic substrates from light-induced deterioration as well as good resistance to loss by volatilization or exudation during the high temperature processing of stabilized compositions. The above-named compounds are surprisingly soluble in common organic solvents, and exhibit very high extinction coefficients.
Abstract:
Compounds of the formulae ##STR1## are useful stabilizers of organic polymeric materials which are subject to thermal, oxidative and/or actinic degradation.
Abstract:
5-tert-Octyl-2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-alpha-cumylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole and related 2H-benzotriazoles substituted on the 5-position of the benzo ring by a higher alkyl group such as tert-octyl or dodecyl exhibit outstanding efficacy in protecting organic substrates from light-induced deterioration as well as good resistance to loss by volatilization or exudation during the high temperature processing of stabilized compositions. The above-named compounds exhibit good solubility in common organic solvents, and exhibit very high extinction coefficients.
Abstract:
N,N-Dibenzylhydroxylamine and other selected hydroxylamine derivatives are effective in stabilizing polyolefin compositions containing a stabilizer or mixture of stabilizers selected from the group consisting of the phenolic antioxidants, the hindered amine light stabilizers, the ultraviolet light absorbers, the organic phosphorus compounds, the alkaline metal salts of fatty acids and the thiosynergists, against degradation upon high temperature extrusion, exposure to the combustion products of natural gas, gamma irradiation or upon storage for extended periods.
Abstract:
Polyimides having a recurring unit ##SPC1##Wherein R is an organic blocking group; A is NH, O or S; Z is the direct bond, O, S, SO.sub.2, ##EQU1## or CH.sub.2 ; n is 0 or 1; and R.sup.1 is a divalent organic radica are prepared by reacting a diamine with a s-triazine dianhydride. These polyimides can be fabricated into films, coatings, laminates and the like. The polyimides are also fusible and moldings thus obtained are low in void content.
Abstract:
s-Triazine hexacarboxylic acids having the formula ##SPC1##Can be prepared by reacting cyanuric chloride with a diakyl substituted aromatic compound and thereafter oxidizing the intermediate to yield the above acid. By dehydrating the acid a corresponding trianhydride is obtained. Such compounds are useful as crosslinking agents for resin systems.
