Description

"STABILIZATION OF POLYMERS AFTER EXPOSURE TO OXIDATION"
THIS INVENTION relates to the use of stabilizers to reduce the discoloration of certain polymers after they have been exposed to oxidation.
A number of different polymers, including polyvinyl chloride (PNC), polycarbonates, polyurethane, polyethylene, and polypropylene, are used to make various medical devices and as packaging for food. Sterilization can be accomplished by exposing the devices or packages to gamma radiation. However, the gamma radiation can degrade or yellow the polymer, making it unsuitable or less acceptable for certain applications. Polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC can also degrade and yellow after heating.
According to one aspect of this invention there is provided a polymer which comprises polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polycarbonate, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polyimide, polyether, polyester, or polyvinyl acetate containing about 0.005 to about 10 plir of a stabilizer having the general formula:

two R, groups can be bridged together to form a ring, each R2 is independently selected from R, RCO, ROCO, P(OR)2l Sn(R)q(OR)^, SnR^OCOR)^, Si(R)q(OR)^,

Y is O or S and is 1 when Y is N, p is 0 to 4, depending on the number of available sites, and q is 0 to 3 for the tin stabilizers and 0 tp 2 for the boron stabilizers. When a particular type of stabilizer is added to certain polymers the polymers degrade and yellow substantially less after exposure to oxidation. Some of the stabilizers of this invention are novel compounds while others are commercially available. Some of these stabilizers are polymeric and resist leaching or migration from the polymer, thereby further extending the life of the polymer.

where two R2 groups can be bridged together to form a ring, each
R3 is independently selected from R, RCO, ROCO, ROCO2, OR, SR, N(R)2, OP(R)2, and OP(OR)2, m is 0 when A is P or B and is 1 when A is Sn, Si, or C, n is 0 when
Y is O or S and is 1 when Y is N, p is 0 to 4, depending on the number of available sites, and q is 0 to 3 for the tin stabilizers and 0 to 2 for the boron stabilizers.
Groups that can bridge two R, or two R2 groups together to form a ring include R4, -HC=CH- -CH2O- -CH2NH- -HC=N-, and -CH2S, where R4 is alkylene from C, to
C24l arylene from C6 to C24, (aryl)alkylene from C7 to C24, (alkyl)arylene from C7 to C24l alkanediyl from C, to C24l (aryl)alkanediyl from C7 to C24, -CO-(alkyiene)-CO-

Stabilizers where each R, is hydrogen are especially preferred as they are more effective. When X is =C=C= the stabilizers can be either cis or trans, but the cis stabilizers are preferred because they are less expensive.
The following are examples of some of the stabilizers included within the scope of the above formulas (if Y is N, there is an additional R3 group on Y):

Examples of stabilizers having the above structure include 4,7-dihydro-l,3- dioxepins, ethers and esters of butene-l,4-diol, and phthalans. These stabilizers can be prepared by condensing an allylic diol, or an aromatic analog of an allylic diol, with an aldehyde, ketone, acid, acid halide, ester, alkyl halide, or alcohol or by other reactions known to those skilled in the art, to form derivatives. Preferred stabilizers include cis-2-butene-l,4-diol, cis-4- benzyloxy-2-buten-l-ol, and cis-l,4-dibenzyloxy-2-butene. The stabilizer may be a phthalan.

In the above. formulas, r can be 1 to 1000, but is preferably 1 to 5. Examples of
polymers having formula A include poly(2-butenylene adipate), poly(2-butenylene- terephthalate, and poly[oxy(2-butenylene)j. in formulas B and C, the preferred
backbones are polyesters, polyethers, and polyketones, and the preferred pendant groups are 4,7-dihydro-l ,3-dioxeρin, phthalan, and 2-butene- 1 ,4-diol. Examples of
such compounds include the condensate of poly(ethylene-co-carboπ monoxide) with 2-butene-1 ,4-diol. The polymeric stabilizers are expected to be more effective as
they have less tendency to migrate or leach out of the stabilized polymer.
Preparation of these polymers can be achieved by reactions known to those skilled in the art. For example, the polymeric esters can be prepared by reacting the diol (see the first formulas where Y is oxygen and R\ is hydrogen) with a diester, diacid, diacid chloride, or dianhydride.
The stabilizers of this invention are effective against oxidation of PVC, polycarbonates, polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylidene chloride, polyamides, polyimides, polyethers, polyesters, polysiloxanes, polyurethanes, polysulfones, and polysulfides. The preferred polymers are PVC, polycarbonates, polypropylene, and polyethylene because those polymers are more frequently used in medical applications where they are subjected to gamma radiation; particularly preferred is PVC. Thus the invention also relates to a polymer that has been subjected to oxidizing heat or radiation.
The polymer can be stabilized by the addition of about 0.005 to about 10 phr (parts by weight per 100 parts 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 6 phr. The stabilizer can be added to a polymer in a variety of ways, such as 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 such as N-methylpyrrolidone, diglyme, acetamide, acetone, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, dimethysulfoxide, and dimethylformamide can be used; water can also be used. Water miscible solvents, such as acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and methanol, are preferred for PVC. 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 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.
The invention also provides polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, or polycarbonate containing about 0.2 to about 6 phr of a stabilizer having the general formula:

-CO-(aryl)alkylene-CO- from C7 to C8 , R is benzyl, and r is 1 to 5. This polymer may have been subjected to gamma radiation.
The invention additionally provides a method of preventing a polymer which comprises polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polyimide, polyether, polyester, or polyvinyl acetate from discoloring after exposure to oxiddation comprising mixing into said polymer about 0.005 to about 10 phr of a stabilizer having the general formula:

Y is O or,S and is 1 when Y is N, p is 0 to 4, depending on the number of available
sites, and q is 0 to 3 for the tin stabilizers and 0 to 2 for the boron stabilizers.
The following examples further illustrate this inventioi EXAMPLES 1 to 13
To a mixture of 150.00 g PVC (sold by Occidental Chemical Corporation as "Oxy 240"), 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"), 97.50g dioctyl phthalate (used as a heat stabilizer and to increase flexibility). 15.00 g epoxidized soy bean oil (used as an HC1 scavenger to reduce degradation; sold by Witco as "Drapex 6.8"), was added a stabilizer. The mixture was thoroughly blended and hot milled at 149°C (300°F) for 5 minutes. The resulting PVC sheet was cut and pressed into a 4"x3"xl/4" (10x8x0.6 cm) plaque at 165.5°C (330°F). 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.

contained a stabilizer had sign.f.cant.y less discoloration than the contro. samples
