Description

A-20789/A/CGM 457 ~ i 3 6 4-Acylamido~pi~eri~;.,e cG,.".)ounds in stabilizer combi"~io"s for chlorine-conlairling polymers The invention relates to a stabilizer combination comprising an organozinc compound with an Zn-O and/or Zn-S bond, in particular a zinc carboxylate, and at least one compound of the formulae 1, Il, lll and IV depicted below, which is suitable for stabilizing chlorine-containing polymers, especially PVC.
PVC can be stabilized by a range of additives. Compounds of lead, of barium and of cadmium are particularly suitable for this purpose, but are nowadays controversial on ecological grounds (cf. "Taschenbuch der Kunststoffadditive", Eds. R. Gachter and H.
Muller, Carl Hanser Verlag, 3rd Edition, 1989, pages 303-311, and Kunststoff Handbuch PVC, Volume 2/1, G.W.Becker, D.Braun, Carl Hanser Verlag 1985, pages 531-538). The search is therefore continuing for effective stabilizers and stabilizer combinations devoid of disadvantageous properties.
Sterically hindered amines have already been added to the PVC as light stabilizers. The thermal stability may also be favourably affected (cf. e.g. EP-A-366271 and EP-A-488951 ).
It has now been found that organozinc compounds, such as zinc carboxylates, can be combined advantageously with compounds of the formulae RJ~X- R2 N/ ~ J~ ~ N N )~

Particular preference is given to the use of zeolite P types of the formula Vll in which x is 2 to 5 and y is 3.5 to 10, especially zeolite MAP of the formula Vll in which x is 2 and y is 3.5 to 10. The substance concerned is, in particular, zeolite Na-P, i.e. M is Na. This zeolite occurs generally in the variants Na-P-1, NaP-2 and Na-P-3, which differ in their cubic, tetragonal or orthorhombic structure (R.M.Barrer, B.M.Munday, J.Chem.Soc. A 1971, 2909-14). The literature reference just mentioned also describes the preparation of zeolite P-1 and P-2. Zeolite P-3 is accordingly very rare and therefore of virtually no practical interest.
The structure of zeolite P-1 corresponds to the gismondite structure known from the abovementioned Atlas of Zeolite Structures. In more recent literature (EP-A-384 070) a distinction is made between cubic (zeolite B or Pc) and tetragonal (zeolite P1 ) zeolite of the P type. Also mentioned therein are more recent zeolites of the P type with Si:AI ratios below 1.07:1. These are zeolites bearing the designation MAP or MA-P, for Maximum Aluminium P. Depending on the preparation process, zeolite P may include small fractions of other zeolites. Highly pure zeolite P has been described in WO 94/26662.

In the context of the invention it is also possible to use those finely divided, water-insoluble sodium alumosilicates which have been precipitated in the presence of water-soluble inorganic or organic dispersants and crystallized. These can be introduced in the reaction mixture in any desired manner, prior to or during the precipitation or crystallization.

Preference is given to Na-zeolite A and Na-zeolite P.

The hydrotalcites and zeolites can be naturally occurring minerals or synthetically prepared compounds.

The hydrotalcites and/or zeolites can be employed in amounts of, for example from 0.1 to 50 parts by weight, expediently from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight and, in particular, from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of halogen-containing polymer.

(Al203) . (S02)2.2H20}, calcium alumooxalate {(CaO).(AI203).(C202)2.5H20}, magnesium alumotetraborate {(MgO).(AI203).(B406)2.5H20}, {([Mg0,2NaO.6]20).(AI203).(CO2)2.4.1H20}, {([Mg0.2NaO.6]2 0) ~ (Al203) . (C02)2.4.3H20} and {([Mg0 3NaO 4]20) . (Al203) . (C02)2 2.4.9H20}.

The mixed alumo salt compounds can be obtained in accordance with methods known per se by cationic exchange, preferably from the alkali metal alumo salt compounds, or by combined precipitation (see for example US 5,055,284).

Preferred alumo salt compounds are those of the above formula in which M is Na or K; Z is C~2, S~2 or (C1207)"2; m is 1-3; n is 1-4; o is 2-4 and p is 0-20. Z is particularly preferably CO2.

Examples of the chlorine-containing polymers to be stabilized or their recyclates are:
polymers of vinyl chloride, vinyl resins containing vinyl chloride units in their structure, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl esters of aliphatic acids, especially vinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl chloride with esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid and with acrylonitrile, copolymers of vinyl chloride with diene compounds and unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride with diethyl maleate, diethyl fumarate or maleic anhydride, post-chlorinated polymers and copolymers of vinyl chloride,copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride with unsaturated aldehydes, ketones and others, such as acrolein, crotonaldehyde, vinyl methyl ketone, vinyl methyl ether, vinyl isobutyl ether and the like; polymers of vinylidene chloride and copolymers thereof with vinyl chloride and other polymerizable compounds; polymers of vinyl chloroacetate and dichlorodivinyl ether; chlorinated polymers of vinyl acetate, chlorinated polymeric esters of acrylic acid and of alpha-substituted acrylic acid; polymers of chlorinated styrenes, for example dichlorostyrene; chlorinated rubbers; chlorinated polymers of ethylene; polymers and post-chlorinated polymers of chlorobutadiene and copolymers thereof with vinyl chloride, chlorinated natural and synthetic rubbers; and mixtures of the abovementioned polymers with each other or with other polymerizable compounds.

In the context of this invention the term PVC also includes copolymers with polymerizable compounds such as acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate or ABS, which can be suspension, bulk or emulsion polymers. Preference is given to PVC homopolymer, alone or in combination with polyacrylates.

Also included are the graft polymers of PVC with EVA, ABS and MBS. Other preferred substrates are mixtures of the abovementioned homo- and copolymers, especially, vinyl 3 ~
.

chloride homopolymers, with other thermoplastic and/or elastomeric polymers, especially blends with ABS, MBS, NBR, SAN, EVA, CPE, MBAS, PMA, PMMA, EPDM and polylactones.

Preference is given to suspension polymers and bulk polymers, and to emulsion polymers.

A particularly preferred chlorine-containing polymer is polyvinyl chloride, especially as suspension polymer and bulk polymer.

For stabilization in the context of this invention, further suitable polymers are, in particular, recyclates of chlorine-containing polymers, these polymers being the polymers described in more detail above that have undergone damage through processing, use or storage. PVC
recyclate is particularly pre~er,ed. The recyclates may also include small amounts of extraneous substances, for example paper, pigments, adhesives, which are often difficult to remove. These extraneous substances may also arise from contact with various materials in the course of use or of reprocessing, examples being residues of fuel, fractions of coating material, traces of metal and residues of initiator.
The stabilizer mixture is employed in a manner familiar to the skilled worker.
It is also possible, for instance, for the stabilizer mixture to be processed together with conventional additives, prior to the actual use, by shaping it into, for example, granules or extrudate or a paste.
The present invention additionally provides for the use of the above-described stabilizer mixture - as granules, extrudate or paste and/or in conjunction with lubricants (so-called one-packformulations) - for stabilizing a halogen-containing polymer or polymer recyclate.
For the individual stabilizers and for the halogen-containing polymer itself, the preferences expressed above apply; similarly, one of the above-described additional constituents can be employed.
The stabilizer mixture can be added to the polymer in a known manner, the abovementioned stabilizers and, if desired, further additives being mixed with the halogen-containing polymer using known devices such as mixers, compounders, extruders, mills and the like. In this context the stabilizers can be added individually or as a mixture or else in the form of so-called masterbatches. The invention consequently also provides a process for stabilizing halogen-containing polymer, which comprises mixing the stabilizer components and, if desired, further additives with the PVC using devices such as calenders, mixers, compounders, extruders and the like.

The invention also relates to the polymer compositions stabilized in this way comprising the novel stabilizer mixture. They can be brought into the desired form by known methods.
Examples of such methods are calendering, extrusion, injection moulding, sintering or spinning, and also extrusion blow moulding or processing by the plastisol process. The polymer compositions can also be processed to foams.
The invention also relates to the use of the st~ 7ed polymer compositions for preparing mouldings which can be prepared from halogen-containing polymer. The novel polymer compositions are suitable for semirigid and flexible formulations, for example for flexible formulations for wire sheathing and cable insulation. In the form of semirigid formulations, the novel polymer compositions are suitable for decorative films, foams, agricultural films, hoses, sealing profiles, office films, extruded profiles and sheets, flooring films and sheets, coated products and synthetic leathers, and also crashpad sheets (for use in the automotive sector).
In the form of rigid formulations, the novel polymer compositions are suitable for hollow articles (bottles), packaging films (thermoform films), blown films, crashpad sheets (cars), pipes, foams, heavy profiles (window frames), transparent wall profiles, construction profiles, sidings, fittings and apparatus enclosures (computers, domestic appliances) and also other injection-moulded articles.
Examples of the use of the polymer compositions stabilized in accordance with the invention as plastisol are artificial leathers, flooring, textile coatings, wallpapers, coil coatings and underbody protection for motor vehicles.
Examples of sinter applications of the polymer compositions stabilized in accordance with the invention are slush, slush mould and coil coatings.
The plepar~lion of the N-piperidinyltriazines is known from the literature (cf. e.g. Houben-Weyl "Methoden der organischen Chemie" Vol. Vlll, pp. 233-237, SAUERSTOFFVERBINDUNGEN lll, 3rd Ed., Thieme Verlag Stuttgart 1952). As starting material for the reaction with various N-piperidinylamines it is possible to employ cyanuric chloride, diamino-chloro-1,3,5-triazine or variously substituted bisdialkylamino-chloro-1,3,5-triazines or dialkylamino- and/or alkylamino-dichloro-1 ,3,5-triazines.
The examples which follow illustrate the invention in more detail without restricting it. As in the remainder of the description, parts and percentages are by weight unless stated otherwise.
Example 1: N,N'-bis[2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl]oxamide 3 ~

156.3 9 (0.8 mol) of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine are added slowly with stirring to 56.1 9 (0.4 mol) of diethyl oxalate, aminolysis taking place with severe evolution of heat.
The temperature rises to about 100~C. Following the addition of 150 ml of xylene, ethanol is distilled off at 88-137~C over the course of 18.5 hours. The batch is subsequently taken up in 1500 ml of xylene, filtered while hot, and cooled. The precipitated crystals are filtered off with suction and recrystallized from xylene.
Yield 1209 (82% of theory) m.p. 225-231 ~C.
The following products (Examples 2 - 8) were prepared by reacting 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine with the corresponding acid chlorides or by reacting bis-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1,6-hexanediamine with acetic anhydride:

Example 9: For preparing the stabilizers I and ll, a Zn/Ca stearate mixture is mixed intensively with a commercial beta-diketone (stab. I) and also with the piperidine compound 5 in a ratio of 8:2:1.5 (stab. Il) in a tumble mixer for a period of 1.5 hours. Of these stabilizer mixtures, portions of 1.0 part (stab. I) or 1.15 parts (stab. Il) are each mixed with 100 parts of S-PVC (K value 70) and 21 parts of a mixture of dioctyl phthalate/epoxidized soya oil and with a commercial liquid aryl-alkyl phosphite, and the mixture is plasticated on mixing rollers at 1 90~C for 5 minutes. Test specimens are cut from the resulting sheets (thickness 0.2 mm) and are subjected to thermal stress in a Mathis Thermotakter at 1 80~C for the period indicated in Table 1 below. Subsequently the Yellowness Index (Yl) is determined in accordance with ASTM-1925-70.
The lower the Yl value found, the more effective the prevention by the stabilizer system of yellowing and therefore of damage to the material. The long-term thermal stability of the stabilized polymer is evident from the sudden onset of massive discolouration. A stabilizer is all the more effective the longer this discolouration is delayed under thermal stress conditions.
