DAVIES COLLISON CAVE Patent Trade Mark Attorneys Level 10, 10 Barrack Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 Benzotriazole UV absorbers having enhanced durability The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me:- 5020 S A-21114/A/CGC 1896 -1- BENZOTRIAZOLE UV ABSORBERS HAVING ENHANCED DURABILITY Benzotriazole UV absorbers being substituted in the benzo ring by electron withdrawing moieties exhibit enhanced durability and low loss rates when incorporated into automotive coatings.
The benzotriazoles have long been an important class of UV absorbers and have gained wide commercial importance and acceptance for many industrial applications. The prior art is replete with references to their manufacture and utility. However, as requirements become ever more stringent and demanding, the search for still more stable and durable benzotriazoles continues. The gradual phase out of HAPS solvents, such as xylene, because of environmental concerns and their replacement with non-HAPS solvents, such as esters, ethers or ketones, and increased durability requirements for automotive coatings make this search more urgent. Indeed, the automotive industry is most concerned about UVA losses from automotive paints and coatings as seen in the publication by J. L. Gerlock et al., Proc. 36th Annual Tech. Sym. (Cleveland Coating Society), May 18, 1993.
Vysokomol Soedin, Ser. A, 18(3), 553 (1976) describes the linear dependence of hydrogen e bond strength and photostability in benzotriazoles.
SJ. E. Pickett et al., Angew. Makromol. Chem. 232, 229 (1995) describe the photodegradation of benzotriazole UV absorbers in poly(methyl methacrylate) films.
Structural variation generally caused only small differences in the rates of degradation unless the substitution disrupted the intramolecular hydrogen bonds which are critical for stability. Pickett et al. did not test any benzotriazoles containing both electron withdrawing and electron donating groups as in the instant invention.
The prior art leads one to the conclusion that strengthening the hydrogen bond leads to a more stable benzotriazole, but does not teach how this can be accomplished. The instant invention discloses benzotriazoles which exhibit enhanced durability, but surprisingly this enhanced durability is not always related to greater hydrogen bond strength. Indeed, compounds with enhanced durability often have weaker, not stronger hydrogen bonds United States Patent Nos. 4,226,763; 4,278,589; 4,315,848; 4,275,004; 4,347,180; 5,554,760; 5,563,242; 5,574,166 and 5,607,987 describe selected benzotriazoles, substituted in the 3-position of the hydroxyphenyl ring by an a.-cumyl group, which show -2very good durability in automotive coatings. These benzotriazoles represent the present state of the art. The instant invention is directed at preparing benzotriazoles which exhibit still better durability and low loss rates from the prior art benzotriazoles.
United States Patent Nos. 5,278,314; 5,280,124; 5,436,349 and 5,516,914 describe redshifted benzotriazoles. These benzotriazoles are substituted in the 5-position of the benzo ring by thio ethers, alkylsulfonyl or phenylsulfonyl moieties. Red-shifting the benzotriazoles is desirable for spectral reasons. A group at the 5-position which is also electron withdrawing provides additional benefits in low loss rates and durability as found in the instant invention.
The instant invention pertains to benzotriazole UV absorbers having enhanced stability and durability and a low loss rate when incorporated into automotive coatings.
More particularly, the instant invention pertains to a coating composition, stabilized with a benzotriazole, which benzotriazole exhibits enhanced durability and a low loss rate when incorporated in said coating, which composition comprises a resin selected from the group consisting of a thermoset acrylic melamine resin, an acrylic urethane resin, an epoxy carboxy resin, a silane modified acrylic melamine, an acrylic resin with carbamate pendant groups crosslinked with melamine or an acrylic polyol resin crosslinked with melamine containing carbamate groups, and 0.01 to 5% by weight, based on resin solids, of a benzotriazole of formula A, B, C or D

-18- The instant invention also pertains to a composition stabilized against thermal, oxidative or light-induced degradation which comprises, an organic material subject to thermal, oxidative or light-induced degradation, and an effective stabilizing amount of a compound of formula I, 11, III or IV.
Preferably, the organic material is a natural, semi-synthetic or synthetic polymer, especially a thermoplastic polymer.
Most preferably, the polymer is a polyolefin or polycarbonate, especially polyethylene or polypropylene; most especially polypropylene.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention the organic material is a resin selected from the group consisting of a thermoset acrylic melamine resin, an acrylic urethane resin, an epoxy carboxy resin, a silane modified acrylic melamine, an acrylic resin with carbamate pendant groups crosslinked with melamine or an acrylic polyol resin crosslinked with melamine containing carbamate groups.
Moste preferred the resin is a thermoset acrylic melamine resin or an acrylic urethane resin.
In yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention the organic material is a recording material.
o The recording materials according to the invention are suitable for pressure-sensitive copying systems, photocopying systems using microcapsules, heat-sensitive copying systems, photographic materials and ink jet printing.
o o.:i The recording materials according to the invention are distinguished by an unexpected improvement in quality, especially with regard to the fastness to light.
The recording materials according to the invention have the construction known for the particular use. They consist of a customary carrier, for example paper or plastic film, which has been coated with one or more layers. Depending on the type of the material, these layers contain the appropriate necessary components, in the case of photographic materials, for example, silver halide emulsions, dye couplers, dyes and the like. Material -19particularly suitable for ink jet printing has a layer particularly absorptive for ink on a customary carrier. Uncoated paper can also be employed for ink jet printing. In this case the paper acts at the same time as the carrier material and as the ink-absorbent layer. Suitable material for ink jet printing is, for example, described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,073,448 (incorporated herein by reference).
The recording material can also be transparent, as, for example, in the case of projection films.
The compounds of the formula I, 11, III or IV can be incorporated into the carder material as early as the production of the latter, in the production of paper, for example, by being added to the paper pulp. A second method of application is to spray the carder material with an aqueous solution of compounds of the formula I, 11, III or IV or to add the compounds of the to the coating composition.
Coating compositions intended for transparent recording materials suitable for projection cannot contain any particles which scatter light, such as pigments and fillers.
o°°oOO .oo The dye-binding coating composition can contain a number of other additives, for example antioxidants, light stabilizers (including also UV absorbers which do not belong to the UV absorbers according to the invention), viscosity improvers, fluorescent brighteners, biocides and/or antistatic agents.
0:0 The coating composition is usually prepared as follows: the water-soluble components, for example the binder, are dissolved in water and stirred together. The solid components, for example fillers and other additives already described, S"are dispersed in this aqueous medium. Dispersion is advantageously carded out by means of devices, for example ultrasonic samples, turbine stirrers, homogenizers, colloid mills, bead mills, sand mills, high-speed stirrers and the like. The compounds of the formula I, II, III and IV can be incorporated easily into the coating composition.
The recording material according to this invention preferably contains 1 to 5000 mg/m 2 in particular 50-1200 mg/m 2 of a compound of the formula I.
As already mentioned, the recording materials according to the invention embrace a wide field. The compounds of the formula I, 11, III or IV can, for example, be employed in pressure-sensitive copying systems. They can be introduced either into the paper in order to protect the microencapsulated dye precursors there from light, or into the binder of the developer layer in order to protect the dyes formed there.
Photocopying systems using light-sensitive microcapsules which are developed by means of pressure are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,416,966; 4,483,912; 4,352,200; 4,535,050; 4,5365,463; 4,551,407; 4,562,137 and 4,608,330, also in EP-A 139,479; EP-A 162,664; EP-A 164,931; EP-A 237,024; EP-A 237,025 or EP-A 260,129. In all these systems the compounds can be put into the dye-receiving layer. The compounds can, however, also be put into the donor layer in order to protect the colour formers from light.
Photographic materials which can be stabilized are photographic dyes and layers containing 0 such dyes or precursors thereof, for example photographic paper and films. Suitable materials are, for example, described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,749 (incorporated therein by :ovool S* reference). The compounds of the formula I, 11, III or IV act here as a UV filter against electrostatic flashes. In colour photographic materials couplers and dyes are also protected against photochemical decomposition.
The instant compounds can be used for all types of colour photographic materials. For example, they can be employed for colour paper, colour reversal paper, direct-positive o 6.o-6 colour material, colour negative film, colour positive film, colour reversal film, etc. They are o: preferably used, inter alia, for photographic colour material which contains a reversal substrate or forms positives.
Colour-photographic recording materials usually contain, on a support, a blue-senitive and/or a green-sensitive and/or a red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layer and, if desired, a protection layer, the compounds being, preferably, either in the green-sensitive or the redsensitive layer or in a layer between the green-sensitive and the red-sensitive layer or in a layer on top of the silver-halide emulsion layers.
The compounds of the formula I, II, III or IV can also be employed in recording materials based on the principles of photopolymerization, photoplasticization or the rupture of -21 microcapsules, or in cases where heat-sensitive and light-sensitive diazonium salts, leuko dyes having an oxidizing agent or dye lactones having Lewis acids are used.
Furthermore, they can be employed in recording materials for dye diffusion transfer printing, thermal wax transfer printing and not matrix printing and for use with electrostatic, electrographic, electrophoretic, magnetographic and laser-electrophotographic printers and pen-plotters. Of the above, recording materials for dye diffusion transfer printing are preferred as, for example described in EP-A-507,734.
They can also be employed in inks, preferably for ink jet printing, as, for example, further described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,477 (incorporated herein by reference).
The compounds of this invention exhibit superior hydrolytic stability, handling and storage stability as well as good resistance to extractability when present in a stabilized composition.
The methodology to make the instant compounds is described in the prior art. The intermediates needed to make the instant compounds are largely items of commerce.
Preferred compounds are those in which one of X and Y is and particularly those in which both X and Y are In general polymers which can be stabilized include S1.

These metals usually have one or more than one ligand, typically oxides, halides, alcoholates, esters, ethers, amines, alkyls, alkenyls and/or aryls that may be either n- or o-coordinated. These metal complexes may be in the free form or fixed on substrates, typically on activated magnesium chloride, titanium(lll) chloride, alumina or silicon oxide. These catalysts may be soluble or insoluble in the polymerisation medium. The catalysts can be used by themselves in the polymerisation or further activators may be used, typically metal alkyls, metal hydrides, metal alkyl halides, metal alkyl oxides or metal alkyloxanes, said metals being elements of groups la, Ila and/or Ilia of the Periodic Table. The activators may be modified conveniently with further ester, ether, amine or silyl ether groups. These catalyst systems are usually termed Phillips, Standard Oil Indiana, Ziegler (-Natta), TNZ (DuPont), metallocene or single site catalysts
(SSC).

oo The alkyd resin lacquers which can be stabilized against the action of light and moisture in S: accordance with the instant invention are the conventional stoving lacquers which are used in particular for coating automobiles (automobile finishing lacquers), for example lacquers based on alkyd/melamine resins and alkyd/acrylic/melamine resins (see H. Wagner and H.
F. Sarx, "Lackkunstharze" (1977), pages 99-123). Other crosslinking agents include glycouril resins, blocked isocyanates or epoxy resins.
The lacquers stabilized in accordance with the invention are suitable both for metal finish coatings and solid shade finishes, especially in the case of retouching finishes, as well as various coil coating applications. The lacquers stabilized in accordance with the invention are preferably applied in the conventional manner by two methods, either by the single-coat method or by the two-coat method. In the latter method, the pigment-containing base coat is applied first and then a covering coat of clear lacquer over it.
It is also to be noted that the compounds of the present invention are applicable for use in non-acid catalyzed thermoset resins such as epoxy, epoxy-polyester, vinyl, alkyd, acrylic and polyester resins, optionally modified with silicon, isocyanates or isocyanurates. The epoxy and epoxy-polyester resins are crosslinked with conventional crosslinkers such as acids, acid anhydrides, amines and the like. Correspondingly, the epoxide may be utilized as the crosslinking agent for various acrylic or polyester resin systems that have been modified by the presence of reactive groups on the backbone structure.
-37- When used in two-coat finishes, the compounds of the instant invention can be incorporated in the clear coat or both in the clear coat and in the pigmented base coat.
When water-soluble, water miscible or water dispersible coating are desired ammonium salts of acid groups present in the resin are formed. Powder coating composition can be prepared by reacting glycidyl methacrylate with selected alcohol components.
The instant benzotriazoles are made by conventional methods for preparing such compounds. The usual procedure involves the diazotization of a substituted o-nitroaniline followed by coupling the resultant diazonium salt with a substituted phenol and reduction of the azobenzene intermediate to the corresponding desired benzotriazole. The starting materials for these benzotriazoles are largely items of commerce or can be prepared by normal methods of organic synthesis.
While the instant benzotriazoles with their enhanced durability are particularly suited for automotive coating applications, it is contemplated that they will also be espeically useful in other applications where their enhanced durability is required such as in solar films and the like.

Use Example 39 To ascertain the effect on thermal durability and loss rate from a high solids thermoset acrylic coating of various 2H-benzotriazole UV absorbers substituted by a variety of electron withdrawing and electron donating groups, the following tests are carried out.
A high solids thermoset acrylic clear coat is prepared by mixing an experimental acrylic polyol resin and hexamethoxymethylmelamine (Resimene® 747, Monsanto) at a solids ratio of 60/40. The dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid catalyst (Nacure® 5225; King Industries) is *added at 0.70% by weight. A flow aid Modaflow® (Monsanto) is added at 0.25% by weight to form a model acrylic melamine resin system.
The model clear coat is reduced with xylene to a viscosity of 26-27 second using a Zahn #2 cup and applied via a conventional air spray at 50 psi (3.5 Kg/cm 2 over a l" x 3" (2.54 cm x 7.62 cm) quartz slide. Cure is achieved by baking the slide for 30 minutes at 260 0 F (127°C).
The clear coat is stabilized with 1% by weight of a hindered amine light stabilizer, bis-(1octyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl) sebacate, (TINUVIN® 123, Ciba-Geigy). The various test benzotriazole UV absorbers are incorporated at the 5 mmol by weight in the clear coat. The film thickness on the quartz slides range from 1.15 to 1.41 mils (0.029 to 0.036 mm).
The films on the quartz slides are weathered according to the following conditions in Xenon Arc Weather-Ometer with a controlled irradiance at 6500 W, using inner quartz and outer borosilicate S-type filter. The irradiation cycle is as follows: 40 minutes of straight irradiation with no water spray, followed by 20 minutes of light plus front spray, followed by 60 minutes of light irradiation and finally by 60 minutes dart plus rear spray (condensation). The setting is at 0.55 W/M 2 at 340 nm, 1.98 kJ/hour. In the light cycle the black panel temperature is controlled at 70+±2C. The relative humidity in the light cycle is in the range of 50-55% and in the dark cycle 100%. The absorbance of the long wavelength UV band as a function of Xenon arc weathering hours are recorded in the table below.
To follow the loss of UV absorbers from the clear coats, UV spectra are measured initially and after weathering at regular time intervals. The UV spectrophotometer measures absorbance linearly up to 5.5 absorbance units using a reference beam attenuation technique.
It is assumed that the degradation products from the UV absorber do not contribute to the UV spectrum. This is tested by following the ratio of absorbance of the band at about 300 nm and the band at about 340 nm. The ratio does not change upon weathering the sample, This suggests that the UV spectrum of the weathered films correspond to the amount of UV absorber remaining in the film with very little if any contribution to the spectrum by photo degradants.

17 P 0.2576 hydrogen a-cumyl a-cumyl Q 0.2492 hydrogen a-cumyl tert.-octyl Inspection of these data leads to some clear conclusions about the photostability of 2Hbenzotriazole UV absorbers and about the nature of the substitution which will affect that photostability.
Increased photostability occurs when R 1 is a-cumyl or phenyl and when G 2 is an electron withdrawing group such as phenyl-sulfonyl or cyano.
The nature of the R 2 group has less influence on the photostability of the benzotriazole UV absorbers.
From these observations, then an idealized benzotriazole UV absorber might theoretically be designed where G 2 is an electron withdrawing group, R 1 is an effective bulky group, and
R
2 is a thermally stable moiety. One such idealized compound might be a benzotriazole where G 2 is phenylsulfonyl, R 1 is a-cumyl and R 2 is tert-octyl. This benzotriazole is generically claimed in United States Patent No. 5,280,124. The data given in Example below confirms this prediction and this "idealized" compound does indeed exhibit a very low loss rate well below the present state of the art.
Example Following the general procedure of Example 39, a number of additional benzotriazole test compounds are incorporated into a high solids thermoset acrylic melamine resin at such concentrations between 1.93 and 3 by weight to give equal molar concentrations of test benzotriazole in equal film thickness, and sufficient to give a starting absorbance of approximately 2.0 absorbance units.
The test discs are exposed in a Xenon-Arc Weather-Ometer at X180 cycle (0.45 Watts/M 2 The initial UV absorbance is measured followed by measurements at roughly 250 hour intervals for the first 2000 hours and every 500 hours thereafter. Each clear coat also -52contains 1 by weight of a hindered amine light stabilizer, bis-(1-octyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl) sebacate, as well.

Compounds S, U, V and W are especially durable and fit the profile proposed above. Indeed, the prediction that Compound U would be particularly durable is borne out by the data above. Inspection of the data for compounds T and U shows the added beneficial effect of having an effective bulky group such as a-cumyl at the
