Stabilised polyolefin Abstract of the disclosure Combinations of compounds of the formula

Description

~ D ~

Stabilised polvole~m Tlle present invention relates to a polyolefin stabilised against thennal, oxidative andlor ` actinic degradation, which comprises a benzofuran-2-one and a phosphite or/and phosphonite as stabiliser.
.
The use of benzofuran-2-ones as stabilisers for polyolefins is described, for example, in US-A-4,32~,863 and US-A-4,338,244. According to these publications, these compounds are usually added to the polyole~ln in amounts of 0.01 to 5 %, relative to dle total weight of the material to be stabilised. Surprisingly, it has now been found that benzofuran-2-ones are also capable of effectively stabilising polyole~ms even in much lower concentrations if used together with phosphites, phosphonites or aza analogs thereof. In particular, this also effectively reduces the yellowing of the polyolefins during processing.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to a polyole~ln containing, as stabiliser, a mixture comprising at least one phosphite or phosphonite or aza analogs thereof and at least one benzofuran-2-one in an amount of 0.0001 to O.OlS % by weight of the formula Rs R3 ~ C = O

The present invention also relates to a process for the stabilisation of polyolefins, which comprises incorporadng therein or applying thereto a stabiliser mixture as defined above.

The benzofuran-2-ones of the formula (1) and processes for their preparation are described in the mentioned IJS-A-4,325,863 and US-A-4,338,244. US-A-4,374,219; 4,318,845;

Alkyl substituents in the compounds of the formula (1) can contain up to 22 carbon atoms.
Exarnples of these are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, eicosyl or docosyl and the corresponding branched isomers, in particular tert-butyl, i-octyl and i-dodecyl. Alkoxy and alkoxycarbonyl radicals are derived from these groups as are the alkylene radicals which are contained in the definitions of the substituents shown in formula (1). The alkyl radicals : 2~2~

listed can be interrupted by oxygen or sulfur, in order to form in particular structural units such as -CH2CH2-O-CH2CH2-, -CH2CH2-S-CH2CH2- or -O-(CH2)6-O-. Alkyl radicals as substituents on the phenyl rings preferably occupy the 3 and 5 positions.

Further preferred costabilisers are esters of thiodipropionic acid, for example lauryl thiodipropionate, stearyl thiodipropionate, myristyl thiodipropionate and tridecyl thiodipropionate.

The polyolefins which can be stabilised accoriding to the invention are preferably polymers of mono- or diolefins, such as polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polybutene, polyisoprene, polybutadiene and polyethylene, for example high- and low-density polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The stabilisation according to the invention of mixtures of these polymers is also possible.

Preferably, polyethylene and polypropylene are stabilised.

Incorporation of the compounds of the formulae (1) to (14) and, if appropriate, further costabilisers into the polymeric organic material is carried out by known methods, for example before or during moulding or else by applying the dissolved or disperse - 17 2~2~

compounds to the polymeric organic matelial, if necesary with subsequent evaporation of the solvent. The compounds can also be added to the materials to be stabilised in the forn of a masterbatch which contains these compounds, for example, in a concentration of 2.5 to 25 % by weight.

Thc compounds of the formulae (1) to (14) can also be added before or during polymerisation or before crosslinking.

The compounds can be incorporated into the material to be stabilised in pure form or encapsulated in waxes, oils or polymers.

The compounds can also be sprayed onto the polymer to be stabilised. They are capable of diluting other additives (for example the abovementioned customary additives) or melts ~hereof, making it possible to spray them onto the polymer to be stabilised also together with these additives. It is particularly advantageous to add them by spraying during deactivation of the polymerisation catalysts, it being possible, for example, to use the vapour used for deactivation for spraying.

In the case of spherically polymerised polyole~ms, it may be, for example, advantageous to apply the compounds, if appropriate together with other additives, by spraying.

Accordingly, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is the use of the compounds of the formulae (1) to (14) for the stabilisation of polyole~ms against oxidative, thermal or actinic degradation, these compounds being sprayed onto the polymer.

The materials thus stabilised can be used in various forms, for example as films, fibres, tapes, moulding materials, profiles or as binders for paints, adhesives or cements.

The examples which follow illustrate the invention further. Parts and percentages are by weight.

Example 1: Stabilisation of high-density polyethylene.
100 parts of high-molecular-weight polyethylene powder, prepared using chromium-containing catalysts, of melt index 1.7-2.3 (at l90GC/21.6 kg)~ are mixed with 0.05 part of pentaerythritol tetrakis[3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate] and the stabiliser combination in the concentrations given in Table 1, and the mixture is ~,~6~7~

kneaded in a Brabender plastograph at 220C and 50 revolutions per minute. During this time, the resistance to kneading is continuously registered as torque. During the course of kneading, the polymer, after remaining constant for a fairly long time, starts to crosslink, which can be detected by the rapid increase in torque. In Table 1, the time until the torque increases noticeably is listed as the measure of stabiliser effect.
