Description

SPECIFICATION Improvements in or relating to organic compounds The invention relates to flameproofed polyethylene with good light stability and processes for preparing such material.
It is well known that polyethylene can be flameproofed using halogenated organic compounds in particular in combination with antimony trioxide. Such halogenated compounds are chlorinated paraffins or brominated aromatic compounds. These compounds have the disadvantage that the stability to light is lessened to such an extent that the addition of a U.V stabiliser will not compensate for the decreased light stability.
Surprisingly, it has been found that both good light stability and good flameproofing properties are imparted to polyethylene by a composition comprising a) a compound for formula I
in which X is S or O; teach R, independently is hydrogen, C1 4alkyl, -CH2-Br, -CH2-CI, -CH2-O-(C, 4alkyl) or phenyl; each R2 independently is hydrogen, C, 4alkyl, -CH2-CI, -CH2-Br or -CH2-O-(C, 4alkyl); or R, and R2 on the same ring together with the C-atom to which they are attached form unsubstituted cyclohexylidene, 3,4-dibromocyclohexySidene or unsubstituted cyclohexenylidene; each R3 independently is hydrogen or C, 4alkyl; and each R4 independently is hydrogen or methyl; with the provisos: i) that at least one of the substituents R, to R4 is other than hydrogen on each ring system; and ii) when R, and R2 is -CH2-Ci or -CH2-Br or R1 and R2 form a cyclic significance R3 and R4 are hydrogen; together with b) a U.V. absorber.
Preferably the ratio of component a) to b) is 3:5 to 1250:1 more preferably 5:2 to 1000;1; most preferably 7:1 to 150:1. The ratios are by weight.
Preferably according to the invention there is provided a polyethylene material containing: a) 3 to 25 % (by weight of polyethylene material) of a compound of formula I defined above; and b) 0.02 to 5 % (by weight of polyethylene material) of a U.V. absorber.
The preferred amount of component a) (by weight of polyethylene material) is 5-20 %, more preferably 7-15 %. The preferred amount of component b) (by weight of polyethylene material) is 0;02-2 % more preferably 0.1-1 %.
Unless indicated to the contrary where a significance occurs more than once in a formula its significances are independent of one another.
Preferably any Cm 4alkyl is methyl, ethyl or propyl, more preferably methyl.
Preferably R3 is hydrogen or methyl, more preferably hydrogen.
Preferably R4 is hydrogen.
Preferably X is sulphur.
Preferred compounds of formula I are of formula la
in which X is-as defined above; R, is -CH3, -C2H5, -C3H7, -CH2-Br, -CH2-CI or unsubstituted phenyl; R2 is -CH3, -C2H2, -C3H7, -CH2-Br or -CH2CI.
The compounds of formula I and la are known or may be prepared by known methods from known compounds.
Preferred U.V. absorbers are of the 2(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benztriazole series, of the 2-hydroxy benzophenone series, of the nickel complex series (such as nickel pyrazolone), of the sterically hindered amine series or of the oxalic acid diamide series. Preferred light stabilisers are also described in German Offenlegungschrift 2606358. Further preferred light stabilisers are described in the book "Kunststoff-Additive" by Gächter and Miller pages 105 to 1 39.

where R3 is hydrogen or CH3 and the symbol + signifies tertiary butyl.
Usual 2-hydroxybenzophenones are as follows:
Usual nickel complex compounds are as follows:
where R4 is C2 4alkyl and + signifies tertiary butyl,
where R9 is C4 6alkyl or cyclohexyl; Usual sterically hindered amines are tetraalkylpiperidines as follows:

Usual oxalamide derivatives are as follows::
Preferred as U.V. absorbers are those of the 2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidine series, of the 2hydroxybenzophenone series and of the nickel complex compounds, in particular 2,2,6,6tetraalkylpiperidine compounds.

In a similar fashion compounds of component b) can be made up as a master batch containing 5 to 30 % of component b) and 70 to 95 % of a carrier, preferably polyethylene.
For the avoidance of doubt mixtures of two or more compounds of formula I and mixtures of two or more light stabilisers may be used in the compositions according to the invention, polyethylene substrates according to the invention and processes for preparing the same.
The compounds of formula I can be worked into the polymeric material by known methods, for example the compounds of formula I can be mixed with a polyethylene powder and the mixture extruded into foils, granulates or sheets or by foaming techniques.
Preferably the polyethylene material according to the invention is formed into thin sheets.
Preferably the density of the sheet polyethylene material according to the invention is 0.912 to 0.930 g/cm3. Preferably the polymeric material has a crystallinity of 25 to 50 %.
Such polyethylene material is described in Adv. Polym. Sci. 7 (1970) pages 386 to 448-Mortimer s Ehrlich entitled "Fundamentals of the free radical polymerisation of ethy lene". These pages are incorporated herein by reference.
Further examples of polyethylene useful in the present invention are described in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology Vol. 6 (Interscience 1967) and US Patent 2,153,553.
-These references are incorporated herein by reference.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples in which all parts and percentages are by weight and all temperatures are in "C unless indicated to the contrary.
Example 1 70 Parts of a commercial form of polyethylene powder (Melt Flow Index [190 /2.16 Kp)= 20) is mixed with 30 parts of compound 9 given in Table 1 below and is then worked in a continuous kneader at a temperature of 1 20' to 185 to produce a master batch in granular form. (This master batch will be referred to as Masterbatch A).
5 Parts of a U.V. absorber of the 1-hydroxy-4-octoxybenzophenone type and 5 parts of a nickel complex of formula II
is mixed with 90 parts of a commercial form of polyethylene powder (MFI [190"/2. 16 Kp = 20) and is then worked in an extruder at 1 20 to 150 to produce a master batch in granular form. (This masterbatch will be referred to as Masterbatch B).
34 Parts of Masterbatch A are mixed with 60 parts of a commercial form of polyethylene granulate (MFI [190 /2.16 Kp] = 1.4) and 6 parts of Masterbatch B. This mixture is worked through an extruder with blow head at a temperature of 1 50 to 1 75 C to produce blow films about 1 50 ,u thick. The resulting films show good flameproofing properties and have a good light stability.
Example 2 70 Parts of a commercial form of polyethylene powder (MFI [190"/2. 16 Kp] = 20) are mixed with 30 parts of Compound I given in Table 1 below and the mass is worked on a continuous kneader at a temperature of 15.0 to 120 into a masterbatch in granular form (this masterbatch is hereafter referred to as Masterbatch C).
1 7 Parts of Masterbatch C are mixed with 1 7 parts of Masterbatch A, 6 parts of Masterbatch B and 60 parts of a commercial form of polyethylene granulate (MFI [1 90o/2.19 Kp] = 1.4) and the mixture is worked into films in a method similar to that described in Example 1. The resulting films have good flameproofing properties and very good stability to light.
Similar results to the above Examples 1 and 2 can be obtained by replacing compound 9 or 1 respectively by any other compound of compounds 1 to 1 9 described in Table 1 below.
Example 3 90 Parts of a commercial polyethylene powder (MFI [190"/2. 16 Kpl = 1.4) are mixed with 10 parts of the compound 9 of Table 1 and 0.4 parts of a sterically hindered amine of the formula
of molecular weight > 2000 (Tinuvin 622) are mixed together and the mixture is worked through an extruder with a blow head at a temperature of 1 50 to 175"C to form blow film about 1 50 itm thick. The resulting flameproofed polyethylene has very good light fastness. ("TINUVIN" is an R.T.M.) Examples 4 to 21 The polyethylene material of Example 1 can be treated according to the method of Example 1 using instead of the compound 9 of Table 1 any one of Compounds 1 to 8 and 10 to 1 8.
