Description

(54) COMPOSITION FOR STABILISATION OF VINYL CHLORIDE POLYMERS (71) We, DURHAM CHEMICALS LIMITED, a British Company of Birtley, Chester-Le-Street, County Durham, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to a composition for the stabilisation of vinyl chloride polymers.
Our co-pending Patent Application No. 42642/75 (Serial No. 1,570,177) describes and claims stablised vinyl chloride polymer compositions comprising (a) a vinyl chloride polymer (b) an ester which is a plasticiser for vinyl chloride polymers (c) a chlorinated paraffin which is a plasticiser for vinyl chloride polymers (d) a metal compound which is a heat stabiliser for vinyl chloride polymers (e) a non-fibrous filler, and (f) a stabiliser which is an organic nitrogen-containing compound.
The present invention provides a stabilising composition for use in the production of a stabilised vinyl chloride polymer composition including a chlorinated paraffin plasticiser and a non-fibrous filler, comprising (1) an organic nitrogen containing compound and (2) a poly basic inorganic lead compound which is a heat stabiliser for a vinyl chloride polymer, the weight ratio of the lead compound to the organic nitrogen-containing compound being 4:1 to 100:1.
Suitable nitrogen containing compounds include: 1. alkanolamines such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, mono-, di- and tri-propanolamines and butanolamines; 2. urea: quinolines such as a hydroxy-quinoline e.g. 8-hydroxy quinoline or 2,2,4 trimethyl-l ,2-dihydroxy quinoline (Flectrol H); intercyclic dicarboxylic acid amides such as phthalimide; or Chloramine -T, (sodium p-toluene-sulphochloramine); and 3. cyclic or acyclic compounds containing the molecular grouping
This last-mentioned class of compounds (3) represents a preferred class of organic nitrogen containing compound and includes, as cyclic compounds, the various nitrogen substituted triazines such as melamine, dimers and trimers of melamine (melam and melem), N,N',N"-triphenylmelamine; 2-aminopyrimidines, an imidazole such as 2-aminoimidazole and 1,2-dimethylimidazole; acyclic compounds which can be used include the various guanidines or dicyandiamides such as dicyandiamide itself, diphenylguanidine, acetylguanidine, aminoguanidine, phenylaminoguanidine, N-oxymethyl N'-cyanguanidine, N-carboethoxy N'cyanguanidine and N-methylguanidine. Aromatic amines, alkylamines and thioureas are not recommended as they do not always have a beneficial influence on both colour and heat stability of the composition.
The polybasic inorganic lead compound used in the composition of the invention will normally be a tribasic lead sulphate. Other inorganic leads such as white lead or dibasic lead phosphite may also be used.
The composition may additionally contain at least one further heat stabiliser for the vinyl chloride polymer which is an organic lead compound or a barium, cadmium, calcium, zinc or tin containing compound, the weight ratio of the total heat stabiliser to the organic nitrogen containing compound being 4:1 to 100:1. The further heat stabiliser may be, for example, (I) organic lead compounds such as dibasic lead phthalate; (2) metal soaps such as lead stearate, barium stearate, cadmium stearate, calcium stearate or zinc stearate; (3) solvent soluble compounds such as barium phenolate or cadmium 2-ethylhexanoate or (4) organo-tin compounds such as dibutyl tin maleate or di-n-octyl tin thioglycollate.The lead compounds will normally be present in amounts of 110%, preferably 15% by weight of the vinyl chloride polymer, and, when used, the barium, cadmium, calcium or zinc compounds in an amount of 13% by weight of the vinyl chloride polymer and the tin compounds in an amount of 0.5 to 2% by weight of the vinyl chloride polymer. Heat stabilisers (I) identified above are to be preferred, particularly a mixture of tribasic lead sulphate and lead stearate.
It is essential that the weight ratio of the heat stabiliser present in the composition to the organic nitrogen containing compound present in the composition be 4:1 to 100:1, preferably 10:1 to 25:1 e.g. 20:1.
The composition of this invention is prepared by mixing the organic nitrogen containing compound with the polybasic inorganic lead compound and the resulting composition can then be incorporated in a vinyl chloride polymer together with the two plasticisers, the filler and any optional components to form the composition of the parent application.
The following Examples are given to illustrate the invention.
EXAMPLES 1--6 and EXPERIMENTS A-B.
Compositions were prepared by compounding the ingredients given in Table I below in the proportions given in Table 1 below in the following way.
The ingredients of each formulation were weighed into a beaker and mixed with a palette knife. The contents of the beaker were then transferred onto a 2 roll mill operating at 1700C., from which after gelation and mixing for 3 minutes the composition was removed as a sheet. From this specimens were cut for heat stability tests. The PVC resin used was a vinyl chloride homopolymer which is a cable grade resin sold under the Registered Trade Mark Corvic D60/13. D.I.O.P. is an ester plasticiser di-isooctylphthalate. The chlorinated paraffin used, Cereclor S45 is a chlorinated paraffin containing 45% by weight chlorine of approximate molecular weight 610.
T.B.L.S./lead stearate 4:1 is a mixture of tribasic lead sulphate and lead stearate in a 4:1 ratio by weight. Bisphenol A is the known antioxidant 2,2-(bis-phydroxyphenyl)-propane. In the Table below, the amounts given are in parts by weight. Experiments A-B are not in accordance with the invention and are included for comparison purposes.

In this test, the specimens were placed in an oven and @eated at 180 C., and were removed at 15 minute intervals and examined for general discolouration (yellowing) and for the appearance of spots. The samples were assessed visually on each occasion and given a discolouration index on a scale of 0 (white sample no discolouration) to 10 (sample completely black). The following results set out in Table 1A were obtained.

In addition to exhibiting the favourable heat stability as illustrated above, the compositions of the invention show a significant improvement in stability as measured by the congo red test which is particularly important in compositions to be used in cable making.
