Description
The present invention relates to novel piperidine-triazine compounds, to their use as light stabilizers, heat stabilizers and oxidation stabilizers for organic materials, in particular synthetic polymers, and to organic materials thus stabilized.
It is known that synthetic polymers are subject to photooxidative degradation when they are exposed to sunlight or other sources of ultraviolet light in the presence of oxygen.
For their use in practice, it is therefore necessary to add to them suitable light stabilizers, such as benzophenone or benzotriazole derivatives, nickel complexes, substituted benzoic acid esters, alkylidenemalonates, cyanoacrylates, aromatic oxamides or sterically hindered amines.
Triazine derivatives of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidylamine and their use as stabilizers for synthetic polymers have been described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,108,829 and 4,433,145 and in Italian Patent 1,193,659. Moreover, the preparation of N,N-bis-[3-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidylamino) -propyl]-piperazine and its use as light stabilizer for polymers have been described in Belgian Patent 886,428.

EXAMPLE 10
Antioxidant action on polypropylene plaques
1 g of each of the compounds indicated in Table 1 and 1 g of calcium stearate are mixed in a slow mixer with 1000 g of polypropylene powder of melt index=2 g/10 minutes (measured at 230.degree. C. and 2.16 kg).
The mixtures are extruded twice at 200.degree.-220.degree. C. to give polymer granules which are then converted into plaques of 1 mm thickness by compression-molding at 230.degree. C. for 6 minutes.
The plaques are then punched using a DIN 53451 mold, and the specimens obtained are exposed in a forced-circulation air oven maintained at a temperature of 135.degree. C.
The specimens are checked at regular intervals by folding them by 180.degree. in order to determine the time (in hours) required for fracturing them. The results obtained are given in Table 1.

The tapes thus prepared are exposed, mounted on a white card, in a Weather-O-Meter 65 WR (ASTM G26-77) with a black panel temperature of 63.degree. C.
The residual tenacity is measured on samples, taken after various times of exposure to light, by means of a constant-speed tensometer; the exposure time (in hours) needed to halve the initial tenacity (T.sub.50) is then calculated.
Tapes prepared under the same conditions as indicated above, but without the addition of stabilizer, are exposed for comparison. The results obtained are shown in Table 2:
