  • Stabilizer A, bis(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanyl), was prepared as follows. Into a flask fitted with stirrer, nitrogen purge, feeding funnel, thermometer, and reflux condenser were charged 50 ml of dry benzene and 4.6 grams (0.1 mole) sodium:paraffin 50:50 dispersion. The mixture was stirred about 30 minutes at room temperature with a slow nitrogen purge and then a solution containing 15 grams, (0.1 mole) of 2-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-1 ,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan dissolved in 50 ml of dry benzene was fed in at such a rate that the temperature was kept below 30°C. The contents were stirred for 15 minutes at 25°C and then a solution of 12.0 grams (0.066 mole) of 2-chloro-2-oxo-5,5-dimethyl-1 ,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan dissolved in benzene (50 ml) was fed dropwise at 5 to 7°C. The reaction temperature was controlled by rate of addition and an ice acetone-water bath. After the feed was in, the reactants were stirred and digested at 25°C for three hours. The contents were again cooled to 5°C by an external source at which time 100 ml of an aqueous 5 percent NaHC03 solution was added and stirred for a few minutes. The contents were transferred to a separating funnel and allowed to phase out. At the interface a solid forms. The solid was filtered off then dried. It had a melting point of 222°C. The crude product was recrystallized using CHCI3:ethyl acetate (2:1), filtered then washed with water, filtered again then dried. The white needle crystals weighed 5.15 grams and had a melting point of 255°C. The product was identified by phosphorus-31 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance; Infrared; and Mass Spectroscopy as having the formula:

  • Stabilizer D was prepared as follows. 1.2 grams (0.05 mole) of magnesium was weighed into a 125 ml flask equipped with magnetic stirrer, thermometer, feeding funnel, N2 purge and reflux condenser.

The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature (25°C), transferred to a separating funnel and washed with 30 ml of water. The water was removed and the oil layer was allowed to evaporate in air to about 50 percent of the original volume. Then a second addition of 30 ml of water precipitated 2.1 grams of a white solid which, when recrystallized from acetonitrile, gave a product with a melting point of 150°C, consistent with reported literature results. The structure of the compound was determined to be as follows:

  • A copolycarbonate of phenolphthalein and Bisphenol A, hereinafter known as Polycarbonate E, was prepared by condensing 51.0 kg (112.5 pounds) of Bisphenol A and 17.0 kg (37.5 pounds) of phenolphthalein with 31 kg (68 pounds) of phosgene. The reaction was carried out in a solution of 544 kg (1200 pounds) of methylene chloride and 73.7 kg (162.5 pounds) pyridine in a 757 liters (200 gallon) glass-lined Pfaudler reactor 'PFAUDLER' is a registered Trade Mark. Para tertiary butyl phenol 0.95 kg (2.10 pounds) was added as a terminator to control molecular weight.
  • After polymerization, the pyridine hydrochloride formed in the reaction and any excess pyridine was removed by contacting the polymer solution with a solution of 34 kg (76 pounds) of 12N HCI in 114 liters (30 gallons) of distilled water. An aliquot of the polymer solution in methylene chloride was removed and washed two additional times with 30 volume percent distilled water. The water was separated and removed after each wash. Final traces of water were removed by contacting the solution with silica gel. The polymer solution was then filtered, the polymer precipitated with hexane, and air dried.
  • The copolycarbonate was 25 weight percent phenolphthalein and had a molecular weight of 33,000 weight average molecular weight by gel permeation chromatography.
  • Stabilizers A, B, C and D prepared as above were blended with Polycarbonate E using ethanol as the solvent.
  • Comparative Runs A, B, C and D were made employing no stabilizers and two commercially available stabilizers. Stabilizer F was tetrakis (2, 4-di-t-butylphenyl)-4,4'-bis-(phenyldiphosphonite) available as Sandostab P­-FPO®. 'Sandostab' is a registered Trade mark of 'SANDOZ'. Stabilizer G has 3,9-(di(octadecyloxy)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro-5,5-undecane available as Weston 618@. In Examples 1 through 4 and Comparative Runs C and D, the stabilizer level was 1000 parts per million.
  • The compositions were then air dried followed by vacuum drying at 1 10°C for four hours. One gram of each composition was weighed into a separate 13 by 100 mm test tube and purged with nitrogen. The test tubes were inserted into a 4.4 cm (1-3/4 inch) deep hole in an aluminum block with the temperature being controlled at 350°C. The heat cycle time was 30 minutes. A nitrogen pad (a pressure of about 3.7 mm of mercury) was maintained on the samples during the heat cycle.
  • After the heat cycle, the sample was cooled. The test tube was broken and the composition was dissolved in methylene chloride. The glass particles were removed by filtration and the filtrate was diluted with more methylene chloride to make up a 100 ml solution. The color was determined on the solution by using a "Spectronic" Bausch and Lomb Photometer at 350 m,u and reported in Table I as percent transmittance.
    Figure imgb0021
  • Example 5 and Comparative Run E
  • 6.8 kg (15 pounds) of high density polyethylene having a melt index of 5.0 and a density of 9.962 was dry blended with 3.4 grams (0.12 ounces) of Stabilizer A. The mixture was then double-pass extruded at 149°C on a 3.2 cm (1-1/4 inch) extruder with a nitrogen purge on the feed hopper of the extruder. After blending and extruding, the melt index of the polyethylene composition containing 500 parts per million of Stabilizer A was determined using ASTM Procedure D-1238.
  • The polyethylene composition was next subjected to a multiextrusion test employing the same extruder as above, but with the temperature of 260°C. After each pass through the extruder, the melt index of a sample of the extruded composition was determined. A decrease in the melt index signified a breaking down and crosslinking of the polymer. The best stabilizer would result in the smallest change in the melt index. In Comparative Run E, the same polyethylene as in Example 5 was extruded twice at 260°C, the polyethylene in the comparative run not containing any stabilizer.
  • The melt index values after extrusion are reported in Table II.
    Figure imgb0022
  • Example 6 and Comparative Run F
  • 300 grams of Polycarbonate E was slurried with approximately 2 liters of distilled water in a Waring Blendor. While the water-polymer slurry was vigorously agitated, a solution of 1.5 grams of Stabilizer G in 15 milliliters of methylene chloride was slowly added. The polycarbonate powder was then collected on a filter and air dried.
  • This procedure was repeated adding 1.5 grams of Stabilizer A to 300 grams of Polycarbonate E to give a composition containing 5000 parts per million of Stabilizer A.
  • The two compositions were vacuum oven dried and then injection molded. The molded samples were heat aged in a circulating air oven at 120°C. They were removed at various times and their yellow index was determined according to ASTM-1925-63T. The results of the tests are shown in Table III.
    Figure imgb0023
  • The data in Table III shows that the polycarbonate composition containing Stabilizer A is superior to a commercial stabilizer as far as reducing the level of color formation as determined by the yellow index.
