Description
This invention relates to polychromophoric ultraviolet stabilizers and their use in organic compositions. More particularly, the invention relates to polychromophoric compositions and the stabilization of ultraviolet degradable organic compositions against deterioration resulting from the exposure to such radiations with such polychromophoric compositions.
The degradative effects of ultraviolet light on various organic compositions is well known in the art. The photo-deterioration or degradation is of particular concern with organic photo-degradable compositions which are exposed to ultraviolet light, such as sunlight, for long periods of time. One group of such photo-degradable organic compositions are polymeric compositions such as polyolefins, polyesters, polyurethanes and the like. On exposure to sunlight for extended periods of time, these polymeric compositions degrade and their physical properties are reduced to render the polymeric composition less useful for most applications. Therefore, considerable effort has been directed to providing a solution to the photo-degradation problem of polymeric compositions. As a result of this effort, there have been discovered many additives and stabilizers which improve the stability of polymeric compositions.
Moreover, various additives and stabilizers exhibit the power to absorb ultraviolet radiation within the band of 2900 to 4000 A. and, when incorporated in various plastic materials such as transparent sheets, the resultant sheet acts as a filter for all the radiation passing through and will transmit only such radiations as are not absorbed by the sheet and/or the absorbing agent. It is thus possible to screen out undesirable radiations and utilize the resulting transparent sheet as a filter in many technical and commercial applications, such as wrappings for food products and the like.
While there are many additives, stabilizers and mixtures thereof which are known in the art to improve the ultraviolet light stability of organic compositions, there is a need in the art for more efficient and effective stabilizers to prevent the photo-degradation of organic compositions susceptible to photo-degradation. Therefore, to provide a more effective and efficient ultraviolet stabilizer for organic compositions susceptible to such degradation would be an advance in the state of the art.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide more effective and efficient ultraviolet light stabilizer compositions.
Another object of the present invention is to provide useful compositions characterized by improved resistance to ultraviolet degradation and deterioration.
A further object of the present invention is to provide compositions containing polychromophoric compositions which are resistant to ultraviolet degradation.
Another and further object of this invention is to provide processes for improving the resistance of organic materials to deterioration and degradation by actinic radiation and especially ultraviolet radiation.
A still further object of this invention is to provide compositions and processes for improving the resistance of organic materials to deterioration and degradation by actinic radiations, including short wave-length visible radiations.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the accompanying disclosure and claims.

The heterocyclic compositions can be added to organic compositions which are susceptible to ultraviolet degradation. Such compositions include, for example, polymeric compositions such as polyester fiber and molding compositions, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polytetramethylene terephthalate and the like; white pigmented polyolefins such as, for example, TiO.sub.2 pigmented high, medium and low density polyethylene and polypropylene; and polyurethanes.
The polychromophoric compositions, as effective ultraviolet stabilizers or screening agents, are generally used in an amount of from 0.01 to 10%, by weight, based on the weight of the organic material to which they are added. While a detectable amount of ultraviolet screening and stabilization may be obtained with amounts less than 0.01%, this amount of stabilization or screening would be of little practical utility in a commercial application. Moreover, while amounts greater than 10% by weight provide effective ultraviolet stability and screening, such concentrations are undesirable because of cost and the deleterious effect which such concentrations may have on the mechanical properties of the organic composition in which the stabilizer is incorporated. Preferably, the stabilizer is used in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 3%, by weight. For example, an amount of 0.5%, by weight, of the stabilizer effectively stabilizes polytetramethylene terephthalate plastic compositions.
The ultraviolet stabilized organic compositions of the present invention may also contain other additives, pigments, colorants, stabilizers and the like. For example, polymeric compositions, such as polyesters, polyurethanes and polyolefins, may also contain and generally do contain other additives such as white or colored pigments or colorants, antioxidants, plasticizers, flow aids, processing aids, polymeric modifiers and the like.
These novel polychromophoric ultraviolet stabilizers may be incorporated into organic compositions by melt-blending or may be added onto the surface of an organic plastic material prior to being molded into a suitable object. These materials can also be added to coatings and the like which can be applied to the surface of a molded object.
