POLYMER STABILIZERS CONTAINING BOTH
HINDERED AMINE AND HYDROXYLAMINE MOIETIES

Abstract of the Disclosure Compounds possessing both a hindered amine moiety, such as a derivative of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, and a hydroxylamine moiety where the N-hydroxy group is not attached to a nitrogen atom in a piperidine ring are valuable stabilizers for protecting polymer compositions against the deleterious effects of actinic light and from the adverse effects of high temperature polymer processing environments.

Description

2~2~

A ~17823~~/CGC 1441 POLYM~R STABILIZERS CONTAINING BOT~
HINDERED AMINE AND HY3~0XYLAMINE MOIETIES
-The instant invention pertains to compounds, and to compositions stabilized therewith, which possess both a hindered amine moiety and a hydroxylamine moiety in the same moiety and where the N~hydroxy group is not attached to the N-atom of the piperidine riny.
. .
Background of the Invention The hindered amines, such as the derivatives of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, have long been known as very effective stabilizers against the deleterious effects of actinic light. Indeed, a number of such compounds enjoy considerable economic success as light stabilizers for a host o~ organic substrates.

Hydroxylamines are known as stabilizers for various polymeric systems either when used alone or in conjunction with phenolic antioxidants, organic phosphorus compounds, hindered amines or the like, as is taught in United States Patent Nos. 4,590,231 and 4,782,105, and in copending application Serial No. 139,~08.

~ lindered amines substituted by a hydroxyl group on the N-atom o~ the piperidine ring are also known and are found to be eEfective processing stabilizers as taught in United States Patent Nos. 4,590,231; 4,668,721 and 4,691,015.
The instant compounds have both a hindered amine moiety and a hydroxylamine moiety where the N-OH group is not part of a 2~2~g~

piperidine ring. Such compounds are novel and allow for much greater flexibility in molecular structures than do the hydroxylamines oE the prior art.

This can be especially seen where the N-atom of the hindered amine is substituted by a hydrocarboxy group. Such groups are non-interacting and allow the hindered amine to be used in poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, and acid catalyzed thermo set acrylic coatings where hindered amines with high basicity sometimes cause problems.

Objectlves of the Invention One object of the invention is to provide a compound having both a hindered amine moiety and a hydroxylamine moiety in the same molecule so that one stabilizer can be used to achieve light stability and process stability for various polymer substrates.

~ nother object of the invention is to provide polymer compositions stabilized by having at least one of the instant compounds present.

~ -E Y ~

wherein M and Y are independently methylene or carbonyl, preferably M being methylene and Y being carbonyl. It is understood that the identified substituents applicable to such compounds are those which are appropriate for substitution on the ring nitrogen atoms.

The instant invention also pertains to stabilized compositions which comprise (a) a polymer subject to the deleterious effects of actinic light or o~ heat, and (b) an effective stabilizing amount of a compound of formula I, II, III or IV.

The instant compounds can be synthesized by a number of methods. These include N-alkylation of hydroxylamine or of a mono-substituted hydroxylamine; or by the hydrogenation of the corresponding nitrone.

Mono-substituted hydroxylamines already containing a hindered amine group can be prepared by hydrogenation of oxime derivatives of compounds containing hindered amine moieties. These same mono-substituted hydroxylamines can be condensed with aldehydes or ketones in order to prepare the corresponding nitrones. Alternatively, the intermediate nitrones can be prepared by direct oxidation of secondary amines.

The starting materials needed to make the instant compounds are largely items of commerce or can be made by generally known methods.

Substrates in which the compounds of this invention are particularly useful are polyolefins such as polyethyl-elle and polypropylene; polystyrene, including especially impact polystyrene; ABS resin; elastomers such as e.g.
butadiene rubber, EP~, EPDM, SBR and nitrile rubber.

O~ particular interest is the utilization of the instant derivatives in a variety of coating systems including ambient cured and acid catalyzed coating systems. In particular, the physical integrity of the coatings is maintained to a higher degree with signiEicant reduction in loss of gloss and yellowing~ Key improvements include the substantial absence of the cure retardation ~2~

encountered with N-alkyl hindered amine light stabilizers;
the substantial absence of flocculation and dispersion destabilization seen when N-alkyl hindered amines are utilized in certain pigmented coating systems and the absence of adhesion loss between the coating and polycarbonate substrate. Accordingly, the present invention also relates to the use o~ the instant compounds, optionally together with further stabilizers, for stabilizing ambient cured coatings based on alkyd resins;
thermoplastic acrylic resins; acrylic alkyds; acrylic alkyd or polyester resins optionally modified with silicon, isocyanates, isocyanurates, ketimines or oxazolidines; and epoxide resins crosslinked with carboxylic acids, anhydrides, polyamines or mercaptans; and acrylic and polyester resin systems modified with reactive groups in the backbone thereof and crosslinked with epoxides; against the degradative effects of light, moisture and oxygen.

Furthermore, in their industrial uses, enamels with high solids content based on crosslinkable acrylic, polyester, urethane or alkyd resins are cured with an additional acid catalyst. Light stabilizers containing a basic nitrogen group are generally less than satisfactory in this application. Formation of a salt between the acid catalyst and the light stabilizer leads to incompatibility or insolubility and precipitation of the salt and to a reduced level oE cure and to reduced light protective action and poor resistance to moisture.

These acid catalyzed stoving lacquers are based on hot crosslinkabLe acrylic, polyester, polyurethane, polyamide or alkyd resins. The acrylic resin lacquers, which can be stabilized against light, moisture and oxy~en 2 ~

in accordance with the invention, are the conventional acrylic resin stoving lacquers or thermosetting resins including acrylic/melamine systems which are described, for example, in H. Kittel's "Lehrbuch der Lacke und Beschichtungen", Vol. 1 Part2, on pages 735 and 742 (Berlin 1972), "Lackkunstharze" (1977), by H. ~lagner and H.F. Sar~, on pages 229-238, and in S. Paul's "Surface Coatings:
Science and Technology" (1985).

The polyester lacquers, which can be stabilized against the action of light and moisture, are the conventional stoving lacquers described e.g. in H. Wagner and ~.F. Sarx, op. cit., on pages 86-99.
The alkyd resin lacquers which can be stabilized against the action of light and moisture in accordance with the 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, op. cit., pages 99-123). Other crosslinking agents include glycoluril resins, blocked isocyanates or epoxy resins.
The acid catalyzed stoving lacquers stabilized in accordance with the invention are suitable both ~or metal ~inish coatings and solid shade finishes, especially in the case oE retouching finishes, as well as various coil coatin~ 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 b~ 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 instant substituted hindered amines are applicable for use in non-acid catalyzed thermoset resins such as epoxy, epo~y-polyester, vinyl, alkyd, acrylic and polyester resins, optionally modified with silicon, isocyanates or isocyanurates. The epoxy and epoxy-polyester resins are crosslin~ed 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.

To attain maximum light stability in such coatings, the concurrent use of other conventional light stabilizers can be advantageous. Examples are the aforementioned UV
absorbers of the benzophenone, benzotriazole, acrylic acid derivative, or oxanilide type, or aryl-s-triazinss or metal-containing light stabilizers, for example organic nickel compounds. In two-coat systems, these additional light stabilizers can be added to the clear coat and/or the pigmented base coat.

If such combinations are employed, the sum of all light stabilizers is 0.2 to 20~ by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5~ by weight, b~sed on the film-forming resin.

Examples Oe the UV absorbers which may be used in the instant compositions in conjunction with the aforementioned piperidine compounds are:
