Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to the preparation of a sterile article made from a polymer having a halogen-containing repeating unit, where the polymer contains a compound based on a poly(oxyalkylene) (POA). In particular, it relates reducing the yellowing of an article made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) after exposure to gamma radiation by incorporating compounds based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) into the PVC. [0001]
  • PVC is a versatile thermoplastic that is widely used for making medical articles and for food packaging due to its clarity, gloss, unique versatility, excellent functional performance, inertness to fluids, and relatively low cost. Medical devices and food packaging are usually sterilized before they are used. While ethylene oxide sterilization imposes little or no harmful effects on the physical properties of PVC, radiation sterilization, such as with gamma rays, can adversely effect the polymer, such as yellowing it. [0002]
  • PEG, PEG dibenzoate, and PPG dibenzoate have been used as PVC plasticizers. They are primarily used as alternatives for phthlate plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate (DOP). The use of these materials may also improve other properties of PVC. (J. H. Lee, K. O. Kim, Y. M. Ju J. Biomed. Mater. Res (Appl. Biomater) 48, pages 328 to 334 (1999); W. D. Arendt, J. Lang J.

    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • We have discovered that POA-based compounds inhibit the yellowing of polymers having halogen-containing repeating units after exposure to sterilizing radiation. The stabilizers of this invention also improve the mechanical strength of PVC compounds and reduce or eliminate the need to use DOP. [0004]
  • Some of the stabilizers of this invention are novel compounds while others are commercially available. [0005]

  • The stabilizers of this invention have the general formula: TGOT′, where each T is independently selected from R—, R—CO—, —P(R)[0006] 2, —P(OR)2, —Si(R)3, or —Si(OR)3, T′ is T or A[GOT]n, each A is independently selected from LS—Sn(R)3-q(SLJ)q, L—O—Sn(R)3-q(OLJ)q, (CH2)pS—Sn(R)3-q(S(CH2)p—J)q, LCO2Sn(R)3-q(OLCO—J)q, or LSn(Y)3-q(LJ)q when n is 0, from CO, E, CO—E—CO, Si(R)2, Si(OR)2, (Si(R)2G)r, (CO—E—CO—G)r, (CO—G)r, or (E—G)r when n is 1, and from P, PO, and trimellitate when n is 2, Y is —SLJ, —SLOR, —OLJ, —OLR, —S(CH2)p—J, —S(CH2)pR, OLCO—J, or OLCOOR, G is (O—CH2—R′CH)m, J is O—(CH2CR′HO)T, L is CO(CH2)p, each R is independently selected from R′, aralkyl from C6 to C12, and alkaryl from C6 to C12, each R′ is independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl from C1 to C12, and aryl from C6 to C12, E is alkylene from C1 to C12, aralkylene from C6 to C12, alkarylene from C6 to C12, arylene from C6 to C12, m is 1 to 20, n is 0 to 2, p is 0 to 10, q is 0 to 3, and r is 1 to 20. The ethers (T=R, T′=R) are preferred and R is preferably alkyl from C1 to C8 as those stabilizers are more effective, R′ is preferably methyl or phenyl because they increase the lipophilicity of the stabilizers, resulting in better miscibility with the polymers. The A group is preferably CO—E—CO or (CO—E—CO—G)r because the lipophilicity of the materials can be tailored and these materials are easily prepared. The Y group is preferably —SLJ, —SLOR, —S(CH2)p—J, or —S(CH2)pR because they are more effective. Of the tin stabilizers, sulfer-containing tin stabilizers are preferred because they are better thermo stabilizers. Finally, m is preferably 2 to 5 as smaller values may be less effective and greater values may not be compatible with PVC, resulting in a hazy appearance, n is preferably 0 to 1 because these stabilizers can better inhibit the discoloration of the polymers, p is preferably 1 to 2 because these stabilizers are readily available, q is preferably 1 to 2 because those stabilizers are also better thermal stabilizers, and r is preferably 2 to 5 because they mix well with PVC. Preferably, all the T groups are identical as those stabilizers are easier to prepare.

The preferred polymer is PVC because PVC is more frequently used in medical applications where it is subjected to gamma radiation. [0013]
  • The polymer can be stabilized by the addition of about 0.005 to about 65 phr (parts by weight per 100 part by weight of the polymer) of the stabilizer to the polymer. Less stabilizer is less effective and more stabilizer offers little additional benefit; the preferred amount of stabilizer is about 0.2 to about 20 phr. The stabilizer can be added to the polymer in a variety of ways, such as by mixing the reactants at the beginning or during polymerization. The stabilizer is preferably added after at least 70 wt % of the monomer has polymerized. The stabilizer can be added as a solid or with a solvent as a slurry or a solution. Common organic solvents can be used, such as N-methylpyrrolidone, diglyme, acetamide, acetone, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, dimethylsulfoxide, ordimethylformamide; water can also be used. Water miscible solvents, such as acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and methanol, are preferred for PVC. If the stabilizer is a solid, it is preferable to add the stabilizer in a solvent as that achieves a more uniform distribution of the stabilizer in the polymer. The stabilizer can also be added along with shortstop, or during the drying or compounding of the polymer. Various methods can be used for compounding, including milling, dry mixing, and extrusion. The stabilizers function as antioxidants to inhibit various forms of oxidation. [0014]

    • EXAMPLES 1 to 59
  • To a mixture of 150.00 g PVC (sold by Occidental Chemical Corporation as “Oxy 240” or by Oxy Vinyls as “OV 30”), 0.30 g stearic acid (used as a lubricant), 0.23 g of a zinc and calcium mixed salts of mixed fatty acids (used as a heat stabilizer; sold by Witco as “Mark 152 S”), 97.50 g dioctyl phthalate (used as a plasticizer to increase flexibility), minus the amount of stabilizer used, 15.00 g epoxidized soy bean oil (used as an HCl scavenger to reduce degradation; sold by Witco as “Drapex 6.8”), was added various amounts of different stabilizers. The mixture was thoroughly blended and hot milled at 300° F. (182° C.) for 5 minutes. The resulting PVC sheet was cut and pressed into a 4″×3″×¼″ (10×8×0.6 cm) plaque at 330° F. (182° C.). The plaque was divided into two smaller pieces. One was saved for comparison and one was subjected to γ radiation at a dose of 50 kGy. The irradiated piece was again divided into two pieces and one of these pieces was oven aged at 50° C. for 48 hours. All of the samples were measured for yellowness index with a Macbeth 2020 Plus Color Eye Spectrometer, as described by the Hunter equations (see “The Measurement of Appearance” by Richard S. Hunter, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1975). The following table gives the stabilizers used and the results. [0016]

  • As can be observed from the above table, after gamma radiation the polymers that contained a stabilizer had significantly less discoloration than the control samples. The table also shows that a mixture of PEG- and PPG-based materials was also effective for stabilizing the PVC color after radiation. This feature makes it possible to tailor a stabilizer for a specific application if certain physical properties of the PVC are desired. [0017]
