Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to mixtures of n-octyl tin compounds of the formulae (I) and (II) n-C8H17Sn(SCH2COOR)3 (I) (n-C8H17)2Sn(SCH2COOR)2 (II), wherein R is alkyl of 10 to 16 carbon atoms, and the molar ratio of (I) to (II) is 1 to 3. These mixtures can be used as stabilisers for PVC.

Description

Case 3-12623/CGM 2~5 Novel s~al~Llisers for PVC

The present invention relates to novel organo-tin stabilisers, to the production and use thereof, and to the PVC stabilised therewith.

Organo-tin compounds have long been employed as useful stabilisers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC)~ For example, British pa~ent specification 1 4~4 771 discloses n-oc~yl-tin-tris-(t~ra-decylthioglycolate) as stabiliser for PVC which, in accordance with Example 1, is prepared from 91% of octyl tin oxide and 9% of dioctyl tin oxide, and thus contains a small amount of the correspondîng dioctyl tin compound.

It has been found that these known stabilisers do not in all cases satisfy the requirements of practice. In addition to the respective organo-tin stabiliser, therefore, further stabilisers and/or auxiliaries are commonly used, whlch often have an adverse effect on each other. In particular, the very common concurrent use of lubricants is observed to have an adverse influence on the efectiveness of the known stabilisers for PVC. For example, the octyl tin stabiliser referred to above has a marked negative influence ~on account of the concurrently employed glycerol monooleate lubricant which is commerciallg available as Loxlol ~ G lo.

It is the object of the present invention to provide stabilisers for PVC which do not have these drawbacks, or have them only to an insignificant degree, and which, in particular, are much less impaired in their effectiveness bg concurrently employed lubricants.
E~ ~

L 1~44 Accordingly, ttle present invent:ion relates to mixtures o~ n-oc~yl ~in co~npo~ ds of the forrnulae (I) and (II) n-C8H17Sn(SCH2COOR)3 (I) (n-CgH17)2Sn(SCH2COOR)2 (II) , wherein R i5 alkyl of 10 to 16 carbon atomsS and the molar ratio of (I) to (II) is 1 to 3.

Alkyl radicals R are in particular straight-chain and preferably contain 12 and/or 14 carbon atoms, such that, in mixtures of C12 and C14, the final products (I) and (II~
preferably contain at least 60a/o mol.% of C14. Accordingly, R is most preferably n-C12H25, n-C14H29, and, in particular, mixtures thereof.

The molar ratio of (I) to (II) of 1 to 3 means that, preferably, compound (I) is present in greater amount, especially 55 to 76 mol.~tO, most preferably 60 to 75 mol.V/
as against 45 to 24 mol.% and 40 to 25 mol.% respectively of (II~.

The novel mixtures of compounds (I) and (II) of this invention are useful stabilisers for PVC compared with those of the prior art, especially in respect of dependence on lubricants. The stabilisers of the invention therefore do not have the drawbacks of the prior art, or have them only ~o a substantially lesser degree, which was not to be expected.

The novel mixtures can be obtained by methods which are known per se, especially in accordance with British paten~ specification 1 494 771 referred to at the outset, for example by reacting an alkyl ester of thioglycollic acid of the formula HSCH2COOR with a mixture of mo~ooctyl tin oxide or octyl stannonic acid and dioctyl tin oxide, in which mixture the molar amount o the ~onooctyl tin compound is 55 to 76 mol.%. The réac~ion can be carriad out T"ith or wlthout a solvent, by heating the components and removing the water of reaction.

A further method consists in reacting the above deined ester with a mixture of octyl tin trichloride and dioctyl tin dichloride, said mixture containing 55 to 76 mol.% of octyl tin trichloride, in the presence o a base. It is pre~erred to carry out the reaction in the presence of a water-immiscible organic solvent~ such as a hydrocarbon or a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g. toluene. Examples of suitable bases are triethylamine, aqueous sodium hydroxide or aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. ~he starting materials are known and commercially available.

The novel stabiliser mixtures can be added to chlorina~ed thermoplastics in the usual amounts, preerably 0.01 to 10% by weight, especially 0.1 to 5% by weight, and, most preferably, 0.2 to 2% by weight, based on the chlorinated thermoplastic.

Preferred chlorinated thermoplastics are vinyl chloride polymers or copolymers. Preferred polymers are suspension and mass polymers, and emulsion polymers which have been washed and therefore of low emulsi~ier content. Examples o~
suitable comonomers for the copolymers are: vinylidene chloride, trans-dichloroethane, e~hylene, p~opylene, butylene, maleic acid, acrylic acid, fumaric acid, and itaconic acld.
Further suitable polymers are post-chlorinated polyolefins.

The stabilised thermoplastics are obtained by known methods by incorporating the stabilisers and, i desired, further stabilisers, in the polymer. A homogeneous mixture of stabiliser and polyvinyl chloride can be obtained e g.
using a two-roll mixer in ~he temperature rcinge ~rom 150 to 210C. Depending on lhe end use o~ ~he moulding compourld, further additives can also be incorporated hefore or simultaneously with the incorporation of the stabiliser.
Examples of further additlves are: Iubricants, preferably montan waxes or glycerol esters, plasticisers, fillers, modifiers such as impact strength additives, pigments, light sta~ilisers, UV absorbers, antioxidants or further co-stabilisers, e.g. phosphites or epoxidised fatty acid esters.
In addition, the metal salts of barium, strontium, calcium zinc, cadmium, lead, tin and magnesiurn with phenols or carboxylic acids (fatty acids, epoxidised fatty acids) can be used concurrently. Mixtures of calcium and zinc carbox~lates, in which the carboxylate group can contain 8 to 20 carbon atoms, have proved particularly advantageous.
The thermoplastics can be processed to moulded articles by the conventional moulding methods, e.g. by extrusion, injection moulding or calendering.

The invention is illustrated by the ollowing non-limitative Examples.

Example 1: A mixture of 236.8 g (0.70 mole) of n-octyl tin trichloride, 124.8 g (0.30 mole) of di-n-octyl tin dichloride and 779.0 g (2.70 moles) of tetradecyl thioglycolate is dissolved in 500 ml of toluene. With efficient stirring, a solution of 108.0 g (2.70 moles) of sodium hydroxide in 300 ml of water is then added dropwise in the course oE 1 hour while keeping the temperature at 50C. Stirring is continued for 20 minutes when the addition is complete, Toluene together with residual water is distilled off from the organic phase. After filtration over a filter aid (Celite ~),the produc~ is obtained in the form of a light yellow liquid in a yield of 1032 g (99% of theory).
