Case 3-12247/CGM 224/1-3/~_ CANADA

Mixtures of organo-tin compounds The present invPntion relates to mixtures of organo-tin compounds and to chlorinated polymers and foamed plastics materials which contain these mixtures.

Mixtures consisting of an organo-tin mercaptide and an organo-tin compound selected from the group consisting of organo-t;n, organo-tin carboxylate, organo-tin alcoholate or organo-tin oxide, are described as effective thermostabilisers in German Offenlegungs-schrift 1 926 949. A mixture consisting of an organo-tin thioglycolic acid ester and an organo~tin compound as described above is speci-fically disclosed in this publication.

As it is known that organo-tin mercaptides lower the impact strength of rigid polymers, there is considerable interest in highly effec-tive sta-~ilisers which can be employed in small amounts.

Organo-tin compounds are also employed as activators for the manu-facture of foamed articles composed of plastics. These articles are ordinarily manufactured ~y known methods, for example by in-jection moulding, by blending the plastics material with a suitable blowing agent and choosing the processing temperature such that it is above the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent.
Often, however, the decomposition temperature is too high above the processing temperature, so that the blowing agent cannot be uséd alone. For this reason, activators are often employed which hasten Lhe decomposition of the blowing agent and/or the decompo-sition temperature.

It has now been found that a mixture of organo-tin compounds and of an organo-tin mercaptopropionic acid ester imparts surprisingly good light and heat stability to chlorinated polymers and, in addition, is an effective activator for the manufacture of foamed plastics.

Accordingly, the present invention provides mixtures consisting of an organo-tin mercaptide of the formula II or III

(R )n-Sn(-S-cH2cHz~cOOR )3-n (II) X
R -sn-s-cH2cH2-cooR (III) 5 and an organo-tin carboxylate of the formula IV or V

(R ~ Sn(-OOC-R6)2 (IV) R -COO-Sn---O---Sn-OOC-R (V) in which formulae R is Cl-Clz alkyl, X is sulfur or oxygen, R lS
the -S-CH2CH2-CooR5 or -X-Sn(R ) (S-CH~CH2-COOR )3 group, in which R and X are as defined above, R is C8-C14 alkyl, n is 1 or
2, and R is C10-C30 alkyl, the weight ratio of II:IV or III:IV
being in the range from 9:1 to 1:9.

R as Cl-C12 alkyl is e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, tert.-butyl n-amyl, iso-amyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-dodecyl. Preferably, R is methyl, n-butyl, n-amyl, n-hexyl and ., ~7~1~3~
3 --n-octyl. Most preferably, R is methyl, n-butyl and n-octyl.

R can be the group -S-CH2CH2-CooR5, wherein R5 is C6~C14 alkyl, e.g. 2-ethylhexyl, decyl, dodecyl, isotridecyl, tetradecyl. R
is preferably 2-ethylhexyl, dodecyl and isotridecyl, especially 2-ethylhexyl and isotridecyl.

Examples of compounds of the formula II are:

The preferred compound of the formula IV is dibutyl-tin di-isoocta-decylate.

The chlorinated polymers which contain the stabiliser mixture of the invention can be homopolymers, e.g. polyvinyl chloride, poly-vinylidene chlor;de etc. Suitable polymers are emulsion, suspension and mass polyvinyl chloride. The polymers can also be copol~ners which have been obtained by copolymerising vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride with other ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
Ethylenically unsaturated monomers are compounds which contain polymerisable C C double bonds, and comprise acrylates, e.g. acrylic acid, ethyl acrylate9 acrylonitrile; vinyl monomers, e.g. styrene, vinyl acetate; maleic acid derivatives, e.g. maleic aci~, maleates, maleic anhydride.

The mixtures of this invention can also be employed as activators for foaming plastics materials. These plastics materials can be chlorinated polymers, such as those described above; but polyesters, polylactones? polyamides, polyethers, polycarbonates and, preferably, polyols, are also suitable~

It is especially preferred to use the mixtures of this invention in polymers based on polyvinyl chloride, especially in PVC, viz. both in plasticised PVC and in rigid PVC. Rigid PVC ~hich has been stabilised with the mixtures of this invention is most suitable for external use.

Organo-tin carboxylates as light and heat stabilisers Eor halogenated polymers have been described in the above mentioned German Offen-legungsschrift 1 92~ 949 in combination with organo-tin mercapto-rarboxylates These latter are also known from US patent specifi-cation 3 642 677.

~7~3~

The organo~tin carboxylates can be obtained by simple rection of the alkali salts of the acid in question with a water-soluble salt of tin.

A particularly uncomplicated method of manufacture is to react the carboxylic acid, mercaptan and tin reactants simultaneously.

The amount of organo-tin compounds in the substrates depends on economic and technical aspects. ~s a rule, 0.1 to 3 ~ by weight, based on the polymer, especially 0.3 to 2 % by weight, is added.
The weight ratio of organo~tin compounds of the formulae II:IV
or III:IV in the mixtures of the invention is 9:1 to 1:9, preferably 9:1 to 6:4.

If desired, it is possible to add to the stabilised polymer mixtures of the invention 0.1 to 5 % by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3 % by weight, of conventional additives, especially anti-oxidants, light stabilisers or mixtures thereof. Examples of such additives are:

antioxidants, such as 2,6-dialkylphenols, e.g. 2,4,6-tri-tert.-butyl-phenol, 2,6-di-tert.-butyl-4-methylphenyl, 2-tert.-butyl-4,6-di-methylphenol, the ~-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionie acid ester of pentaerythritol ~IRGANOX ~ 1010) or the same ester of stearyl alcohol (IRGANOX ~ 1076), and others such as bisphenol ~ A, UV-absorbers and light stabilisers such as 2-(Z'-hydroxyphenyl)-benztriaæoles, 2,4-bis(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-~-s-triazines, 2-hydroxy-benzophenones, 1,3-bis-(2'-hydroxybenzoyl)~benzenes, esters of un-substituted or substituted benæoie aeids, aerylates, and also nickel eompounds, sterically hindered amines, oxalie diamides, or other additives, e.g. plasticisers, lubricants, emulsifiers9 fillers, carbon black, asbestos, kaolin, tale, glass fibres, pigments, fluorescent whitening agents, flame retardants, antistatic agents.

,~ .

.

The mixture of organo-tin compounds of this invention can be blended with the polymer by known methods in known mixing devices. To this end, it is possible to add the blowing agent for foamed plastics material together with the organo-tin activa~or, or to blend the activator with a plastics material which already contains the blowing agent. In oLder to obtain as homogeneous mixtures as possiblej it is advantageous to blend the individual components in powder form. It is possible, however, to use plastics granulates, in whic~
case a binder can additionally be employed for better adhesion of the blowing agent and/or the organo-tin activator.

The mixtures of the present invention are surprisingly effective heat and light stabilisers. Owing to their excellent light protective action, the stabilised polymer is especially suitable for external use. In addition, the mixtures of the invention are surprisingly effective activators for the manufacture of foamed plastics.

The invention is illustrated in more detail by the following Examples, in which parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise stated.
