Description

~Z5~333 3-15686/=lCGC 1170 SUBSTITUTED AMI~OXYETHYL SULFOXIDES AND SULFO~ES

The present invention relates to novel aminoxyethyl sulfoxides and sulfones, to the use thereof and to the organic material stabilized with the aid of said sulfoxides or sulfones against thermal, oxidative and/or light induced degradation.

Organic polymeric materials such as plastics and resins, are subject to thermal, oxidative and photo-degradation. A great variety of stabilizers are known in the art for stabilizing a diversity of substrates. Their effectiveness varies depending upon the causes of degradation and the substrate stabilized. In general, it is diffi-cult to predict which stabilizer will be most effective and most ec~nomical for any one area of application. For example, stabilizer effectiveness in reducing volatility may depend upon preventing bond scission in the substrate molecule. Limiting embrittlement and retaining elasticity in a polymer or rubber may require prevention of excessive crosslinking and/or chain scission. Prevention of discolo~ation may require inhibiting reactions which yield new chromophores or color bodies in the substrate or stabilizer.
Problems of process stability and incompatibility must also be considered.

Various organic hydroxylamine compounds are generally known and some are commercially available. A number of patents disclose nitrogen-substituted hydroxyl-amines as antioxidant stabilizers for various substrates including polyolefins, polyesters and polyurethanes.
U.S. 3,432,57~, 3,644,278, 3,778,4S4, 3,408,422, 3,926,909, 4,316,996 and 4,386,224 are representative of such patents which 9~

basically disclose N,N-dialkyl-, N,N-diaryl- and N,N-diaralkyl hydroxylamine compounds and their color improvement and color stabilizing activity.

U.S. Patent 3,316,299 describes the preparation of R2NOCH2C~z~CH2CH20NRz ( )2 wherein R2N is di-lower-alkylamino (C1 to C8~ or heterocyclic moieties like aziridinyl, pyrrolidinyl, etc. and mentions the use of these compounds as central nervous system depressants in animals.

It has now been determined that the substituted dibenzyl aminoxy-ethyl sulfoxides and sulfones of this invention exhibit a variety of desirable properties which makes them particularly effective and useful as stabilizers. Thus, the compounds serve to protect various substrates such as polyolefins, elastomers and lubricating oils against the adverse effects of oxidative and thermal degradation.
They are most effective as color improvers and process stabilizers in polyolefln compositions which may contain metal salts of fatty acids and which contain a phenolic antioxidant. Thus, they serve to substantially reduce color formation resulting from the presence of the phenolic antioxidant andlor from the processing conditions as well as to directly protect the polymer from said processing conditions. They also prevent the discoloration of polyolefin compositions containing hindered amine light stabilizers or combi-nations of phenolic antioxidants and organic phosphites. In addi-tion, the gas fading that may be experienced upon exposure to the combustion products of natural gas is also significantly reduced.

It is the primary object of this invention to provide sulfoxides and sulione derivatives which exhibit a broad range of i~proved stabili-zation performance characteristics.

Various other objects and advantages of this invention will become evident from the following description thereof.

The indicated stabilizers are solvent blended into polypropylene as solutions in methylene chloride and after removal of solvent by evaporation at reduced pressure, the resin is extruded using the following extruder conditions-Temperature ( C?
Cylinder #1 232 Cylinder #2 246 Cylinder 1~3 260 Gate #1 260 Gate #2 260 Gate #3 260 During extrusion, the internal extruder pressure is determined using a pressure transducer. After each of the first, third and fifth extrusions, resln pellets are compression molded into 3.2 mm thick plaques at 193C and specimen yellowness index (Y.I.) determined according to ASTM D1925-63T.

The melt flow rate ~MFR) is determined by ASTM method 1238 condi-tion L. Ths melt flow rate varles inversely as the transducer pr~ssure and both are a measure of the molecular weight for a specific type of polymer.
