Definitions

  • This invention relates to stabilised polyamides using copper compounds as stabilisers.
  • Mouldings of polyamdes obtained by polymerising diamines with dicarboxylic acids or from aminocarboxylic acids or their lactarns; for example filaments, bristles or films, are deteriorated by the action of air and oxygen, particularly at elevated temperatures, to such an extent that their relative viscosity decreases whilst their strength and elasticity deteriorate. At the same time, the polyamide becomes progressively browner in colour.
  • the known stabilisers have the disadvantage either that their stabilising action is too weak, as is the case, for example, with manganese salts, phosphorus compounds and phenols, or the disadvantage that they cause discolouration, particularly when they are added to the polyamide-forming starting mixture before polymerisation, as is the case for example with copper salts, or that they are sensitive to light and, over a period of time, discolour the polyamide, as is the case for example with aromatic amines and phenols.
  • polyamides can be stabilised without the aforementioned disadvantages by using, as the stabiliser, a combination of (a) a salt of monovalent or bivalent copper with an inorganic or organic acid, and (b) aphosphine.
  • a further object of this invention is to combine the stabilising mixture consisting of a copper salt and a phosphine with an inorganic or organic salt of hydriodic acid.
  • the more difficulty volatile compounds from the triaryl-, trialkylor tri-(aryl-alkyD-phosphine series are preferably used in accordance with the invention as the phosphines.
  • phosphines are triphenyl phosphine, tris-(dimethylaminophenyl)-phosphine, tritolyl phosphine, phenyldimethyl phosphine, dimethylarninophenyl-dimethyl phosphine, naphthyl diethyl phosphine, tributyl phosphine, tripentyl phosphine, trioctyl phosphine,
  • Preferred copper salts are the cupric and cuprous salts of hydrohalic acids and hydrocyanic acid, and the copper salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids.
  • Suitable copper salts are cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide, cuprous iodide, cuprous cyanide, cupric chloride, cupric acetate and cupric stearate.
  • the copper salts are preferably added in such a quantity that the polyamide contains 0.0001 to 0.1% by weight, most preferably 0.001 to 0.02% by weight, of copper.
  • the phosphorus compounds are preferably added in such a quantity that the polyamide contains 0.001 to 0.1% by weight, most preferably 0.001 to 0.05% by weight, of phosphorus.
  • Ammonium iodide sodium iodide, potassium iodide, calcium iodide, magnesium iodide, zinc iodide or cadmium iodide.
  • Hydriodides of primary amines such as hexadecylamine hydriodide; hexamethylene diamine dihydriodide and cyclohexylamine hydriodide.
  • Hydriodides of secondary amines such as N-ethylbenzylamine hydriodide; piperidine hydriodide and N- methyloctadecylamine hydriodide.
  • Hydriodides of tertiary amines such as N,N- dimethylbenzene-amine hydriodide; N,N,N-triethanolaminehydriodide; pyridine hydriodide; trioctadecylaminehydriodide and N,N-dimethyldodecylamine hydriodide.
  • Iodides of quaternary ammonium compounds such as N-benzyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium iodide; N-ethyl- N-benzyl-N,N-diethylammonium iodide; N-dodecyl-N,N, N-triethyl-ammonium iodide and N,N,N,N',N,N-hexamethyl-N,N-ethylene-bis-ammonium iodide.
  • Hydriodides of aminocarboxylic acid esters and amides such as N,N-dimethyl-6-aminocaproic acidmorpholide hydriodide; N,N dimethyl 6 aminocaproic acid dodecylamide hydriodide; N-methyl-N-cyclohexyl-6- aminocaproic acid ethyl ester hydriodide and N,N-dimethyl-1l-aminoundec-anic acid anilaide hydriodide.
  • Iodides of carbamylamrnonium compounds such as N- (N-dodecylcarbamylpentyl) N,N,N trimethylammonium iodide and N-(N'-3,4-dichlorophenylcarbamylpentyl) -N,N,N-trimethylammonium iodide.
  • the inorganic or organic salts of hydriodic acid are preferably added in such quantity that the polyamide contains 0.001 to 5% by weight, most preferably 0.01 to 1.0% by weight, of iodine.
  • the combinations according to the invention of copper salts and phosphorus compounds can be either mixtures of the components, or stable, crystallised addition compounds of phosphines and substances correspond ing to the formula CuX, in which X represents chlorine, bromine, iodine or cyanogen.
  • X represents chlorine, bromine, iodine or cyanogen.
  • Example of these addition compounds which can be obtained from the components, optionally at elevated temperature, are CuC1 2 triphenyl phosphine, CuBr 2 triphenyl phosphine, CuI tri-nbutylphosphine, CuI .tri-n-pentylphosphine, Cul X 2 triphenyl phosphine and CuCNXtriphenyl phosphine.
  • the stabiliser combinations according to the invention may be added to the polyamide-forming starting mixture before polymerisation, after which polymerisation may be carried out either continuously or in batches, as known per se, Without there being any discolouration of the polyamide melt.
  • the polyamides may also contain the usual additives such as pigments, dyes, light stabilisers, fillers such as glass fibres, lubricants, mould-release agents and crystallisation activators.
  • polyamides stabilised in accordance with the invention against, in particular, damage by oxidation at elevated temperatures are eminently suitable for the production of industrial silk for fishing nets, drive belts, conveyor belts, tyre cord and mouldings exposed to thermal stressing in the presence of air or oxygen.
  • the advantages set out below can be obtained by using copper compounds in combination with phosphines, optionally together with inorganic or organic salts of hydriodic acid. These advantages can be explained by the chemical resistance of the phosphines to hydrolysing or decomposing agents, and by the fact that secondary reactions involving the products of hydrolysis or decomposition are avoided.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A mixture of 1.1 kg. of caprolactam, 35 g. of aminocaproic acid and 0.79 g. of CuCI 2 triphenyl phosphine (corresponding to 0.008% by weight of copper and 0.008% by weight of phosphorus in the end product), is polycondensed in the usual way in an auto clave at a temperature of 270 C. The resulting polyamide is then spun into a filament, chapped into granular form, freed from monomeric components by boiling with water and then dried. The resulting product is completely colourless and has a relative viscosity of 3.12 (measured on a 1% by Weight solution in m-cresol). In order to test the stability of the product to atmospheric oxidation, it is stored at 150 C. in a drying cabinet to which air has free access. After 144 hours, its relative viscosity is 3.46, after 500 hours it is 3.16 and after 1000 hours it is 2.96.
  • EXAMPLE 2 As in Example 1, a polyamide with a relative viscosity of 3.18 is prepared from 0.30 g. of Cu(II)Cl 2I-l O (corresponding to 0.011% by weight of copper in the end product) and 0.52 g. of tripheuyl phosphine (corresponding to 0.006% by weight of phosphorus in the end product). The product is completely colourless. After it has been stored at 150 C. in a drying cabinet to which air has free access, its relative viscosity is 3.48 after 144 hours, 3.09 after 500 hours and 2.94 after 1000 hours. A polyamide prepared under identical conditions, except that only 0.30 g. of Cu(II)Cl 2H O are added, is greenish in colour.
  • EXAMPLE 3 2 kg. of polycaprolactam with a relative viscosity of 3.15 are fused by means of a conventional screw extruder EXAMPLE 4 As in Example 3, a polyamide with a relative viscosity of 3.01 is prepared from 0.35 g. of Cu(II)-acetate H O (corresponding to 0.006% by weight of copper) and 0.44 g. of diphenyl ethyl phosphine (corresponding to 0.003% phosphorus). The product is completely colourless. After it has been stored at C in a drying cabinet to which air has free access, its relative viscosity is 3.24 after 144 hours, 3.05 after 500 hours and 2.92 after 1000 hours. A polyamide prepared under identical conditions, except that only 0.35 g. to Cu(-II)-acetate were added, is slightly greyish-green in colour.
  • a deep blue-grey coloured polyamide is obtained from 0.50 g. of Cu(I)-I- triisopropyl phosphite (corresponding to 0.008% by weight of copper and 0.004% by weight of phosphorus in the end product).
  • a deep-blue-grey coloured polyamide is obtained from 0.32 g. of Ou(II)- Cl .2H O (corresponding to 0.012% by weight of copper in the end product) and 1.24 g. of trinonylphenyl phos phite (corresponding to 0.006% by weight of phosphorus in the end product).
  • Triphenyl phosphine on its own does not have any stabilising effect on polyamides. This is demonstrated by the following comparison test:
  • EXAMPLE 5 1 kg. of a conventionally prepared colourless polycaprolactam with a relative viscosity of 3.12 (measured on a 1% by weight solution in m-cresol), is fused by means of a conventional screw extruder in which it is homogeneously mixed "with various stabilisers. The stabilised polycaprolactam is spun itno a filament of approx. 3 mm. diameter, chopped into granular form and dried. The granulate is then stored at 150 C. in a drying cabinet to which air has free access, and its relative viscosity measured after 144, 500 and 1000 hours.
