Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A compound to be an effective stabilizer in protecting a polymer substrate must remain in the substrate during processing and end-use conditions. One method of assuring this is to chemically bond the stabilizer to the polymer substrate backbone in some fashion. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,145,512 and 4,178,279 describe polyurethane stabilized by incorporating 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine derivatives which contain amino, hydroxy or hydrazide moieties into the urethane prepolymer solution.
P. A. Callais et al, Proc. Water-Borne High Solids coating Symp., 16, 486 (1989) describe N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-aminooxamide and N-(1-acetyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-aminooxamide reacted with acrylic polyols containing anhydride functionality. U.S. Pat. No. 4,730,017 teaches N-H, N-alkyl and N-acryl substituted 4-oxamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine derivatives bearing hydroxy groups.
None of the above references describe compounds having 1-hydrocarbyloxy groups present.
Specific 1-hydrocarbyloxy piperidine derivatives bearing a reactive functional groups have been described for applications other than polymer stabilization. N-Benzyloxy-4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine has been detected during the photolysis of 4-hydroxy-1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine in toluene (J. F. W. Keana, J. Org. Chem, 36, 209 (1971)). The N-(2-cyanopropan-2-yloxy)-piperidine derivative ##STR1## has been used in a study of nitroxyl radiosensitizers (B. C. Millar et al, Radiat Res, 88, (1981)).
The 1-hydrocarbyl(oxy) groups of the instant compounds contain only carbon and hydrogen.
1-Hydrocarbyloxy hindered amine derivatives are described in copending patent applications with Ser. Nos. 259,956; 099,418; 259,950; 259,958; 259,945; 259,944; 259,952; 259,949; 259,955 and 259,946.

The instant compounds of formula I having the reactive functional group X (or in the case of formula II or III where said group is --OH) can react with polymer intermediates, with prepolymers or with polymers having a number of functional terminal or pendant moieties thereon to become chemically bonded by condensation reactions to the polymer through ester, amide, urethane, ether or other chemical linkages. This results in a polymer chain having a multiplicity of 1-hydrocarbyloxy-hindered amine moieties firmly attached thereto said moieties now being anchored firmly to the polymer preventing the untoward loss of stabilizer by volatilization or sublimation and preventing migration of the stabilizer from its proper site in the polymer to be stabilized. Superior stabilization performance is the result.
The instant compounds react by condensation reactions with polymer intermediates, prepolymers or polymers having pendant or terminal functional moieties selected from the group consisting of anhydrides, epoxides, carboxylic acids, siloxanes, hydroxyl groups, amines, isocyanates and alkoxymethylmelamine.
The instant compounds are prepared from intermediats which are largely items of commerce.
The instant oligomeric compounds can be prepared by modifications of the methods for preparing monomeric N-hydrocarbyloxy compounds.
One convenient method involves the reaction of a (N-oxyl) or (N-hydroxy) hindered amine with a polyhaloalkane.
Most conveniently the instant polysubstituted compounds are prepared by coupling a (N-oxyl) hindered amine with a hydrocarbon n-valent radical generated from the decomposition of a peroxide or hydroperoxide in the presence of a hydrocarbon having abstractable hydrogen atoms.
The ratio of (N-oxyl)hindered amine to hydrocarbon can be adjusted to favor the formation of monomeric N-hydrocarbyloxy compounds or the formation of the instant polysubstituted N-hydrocarbyloxy compounds, but mixtures of monomeric and polysubstituted N-hydrocarbyloxy compounds are nearly always obtained. These mixtures can be easily separated into monomeric and polysubstituted N-hydrocarbyloxy compounds by column chromatography.
When a (N-oxyl) or (N-hydroxy) hindered amine is reacted with a polyhaloalkane, instant compounds of discrete structures are obtained.
Although the instant application emphasizes the 2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidine structure, it is to be noted that the invention also relates to compounds wherein the following tetraalkyl substituted piperazine or piperazinone moieties are substituted for the above-noted tetraalkylpiperidine moiety: ##STR18## wherein M and Y are independently methylene or carbonyl, preferably M being methylene and Y being carbonyl. It is understood that the identified substituents applicable to such compounds are those which are appropriate for substitution on the ring nitrogen atoms.

Of particular interest is the utilization of the instant derivatives in a variety of coating systems including ambient cured and acid catalyzed coating systems. In particular, the physical integrity of the coatings is maintained to a higher degree with significant reduction in loss of gloss and yellowing. Key improvements include the substantial absence of the cure retardation encountered with N-alkyl hindered amine light stabilizers; the substantial absence of flocculation and dispersion destabilization seen when N-alkyl hindered amines are utilized in certain pigmented coating systems and the absence of adhesion loss between the coating and polycarbonate substrate. Accordingly, the present invention also relates to the use of the instant compounds, optionally together with further stabilizers, for stabilizing ambient cured coatings based on alkyd resins; thermoplastic acrylic resins; acrylic alkyds; acrylic alkyd or polyester resins optionally modified with silicon, isocyanates, isocyanurates, ketimines or oxazolidines; and epoxide resins crosslinked with carboxylic acids, anhydrides, polyamines or mercaptans; and acrylic and polyester resin systems modified with reactive groups in the backbone thereof and crosslinked with epoxides; against the degradative effects of light, moisture and oxygen.
Furthermore, in their industrial uses, enamels with high solids content based on crosslinkable acrylic, polyester, urethane or alkyd resins are cured with an additional acid catalyst. Light stabilizers containing a basic nitrogen group are generally less than satisfactory in this application. Formation of a salt between the acid catalyst and the light stabilizer leads to incompatibility or insolubility and precipitation of the salt and to a reduced level of cure and to reduced light protective action and poor resistance to moisture.
These acid catalyzed stoving lacquers are based on hot crosslinkable acrylic, polyester, polyurethane, polyamide or alkyd resins. The acrylic resin lacquers, which can be stabilized against light, moisture and oxygen in accordance with the invention, are the conventional acrylic resin stoving lacquers or thermosetting resins including acrylic/melamine systems which are described, for example, in H. Kittel's "Lehrbuch der Lacke und Beschichtungen", Vol. 1 Par 2, on pages 735 and 742 (Berlin 1972), "Lackkunstharze" (1977), by H. Wagner and H. F. Sarx, on pages 229-238, and in S. Paul's "Surface Coatings: Science and Technology" (1985).
The polyester lacquers, which can be stabilized against the action of light and moisture, are the conventional stoving lacquers described e.g. in H. Wagner and H. F. Sarx, op. cit., on pages 86-99.
The alkyd resin lacquers which can be stabilized against the action of light and moisture in accordance with the invention, are the conventional stoving lacquers which are used in particular for coating automobiles (automobile finishing lacquers), for example lacquers based on alkyd/melamine resins and alkyd/acrylic/melamine resins (see H. Wagner and H. F. Sarx, op. cit., pages 99-123). Other crosslinking agents include glycoluril resins, blocked isocyanates or epoxy resins.
The acid catalyzed stoving lacquers stabilized in accordance with the invention are suitable both for metal finish coatings and solid shade finishes, especially in the case of retouching finishes, as well as various coil coating applications. The lacquers stabilized in accordance with the invention are preferably applied in the conventional manner by two methods, either by the single-coat method or by the two-coat method. In the latter method, the pigment-containing base coat is applied first and then a covering coat of clear lacquer over it.
It is also to be noted that the instant substituted hindered amines are applicable for use in non-acid catalyzed thermoset resins such as epoxy, epoxy-polyester, vinyl, alkyd, acrylic and polyester resins, optionally modified with silicon, isocyanates or isocyanurates. The epoxy and epoxy-polyester resins are crosslinked with conventional crosslinkers such as acids, acid anhydrides, amines, and the like.
Correspondingly, the epoxide may be utilized as the crosslinking agent for various acrylic or polyester resin systems that have been modified by the presence of reactive groups on the backbone structure.
To attain maximum light stability in such coatings, the concurrent use of other conventional light stabilizers can be advantageous. Examples are the aforementioned UV absorbers of the benzophenone, benzotriazole, acrylic acid derivative, or oxanilide type, or aryl-s-triazines or metal-containing light stabilizers, for example organic nickel compounds. In two-coat systems, these additional light stabilizers can be added to the clear coat and/or the pigmented base coat.
If such combinations are employed, the sum of all light stabilizers is 0.2 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight, based on the film-forming resin.
Examples of difference classes of UV absorbers which may be used in the instant compositions in conjunction with the aforementioned piperidine compounds are referenced in a paper by H. J. Heller in European Polymer Journal Supplement, 1969, pp 105-132. These classes include the phenyl salicylates, the o-hydroxybenzophenones, the hydroxyxanthones, the benzoxazoles, the benzimidazoles, the oxadiazoles, the triazoles, the pyrimidines, the chinazolines, the s-triazines, the hydroxyphenyl-benzotriazoles, the alpha-cyanoacrylates and the benzoates.
Types of UV absorbers of especial importance are:
(a) 2-(2'-Hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazoles, for example, the 5'-methyl-, 3',5'-di-tert-butyl-, 5'-tert-butyl-, 5'-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-, 5-chloro-3',5'-di-tert-butyl-, 5-chloro-3'-tert-butyl-5'-methyl-, 3'-sec-butyl-5'-tert-butyl-, 4'-octoxy-, and 3',5'-di-tert-amyl derivatives.
(b) 2-Hydroxy-benzophenones, for example, the 4-hydroxy-, 4-methoxy-, 4-octoxy-, 4-decyloxy-, 4-dodecyloxy-, 4-benzyloxy, 4,2',4'-trihydroxy- and 2'-hydroxy-4,4'-dimethoxy derivatives.
(c) Acrylates, for example, alpha-cyano-.beta.,.beta.-diphenylacrylic acid ethyl ester or isoctyl ester, alpha-carbomethoxy-cinnamic acid methyl ester, alpha-cyano-.beta.-methyl-p-methoxy-cinnamic acid methyl ester or butyl ester, alphacarbomethoxy-p-methoxy-cinnamic acid methyl ester, N-(.beta.-carbomethoxy-.beta.-cyanovinyl)-2-methyl-indoline.
(d) Nickel compounds, for example, nickel complexes of 2,2'-thiobis-[4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenol], such as the 1:1 or 1:2 complex, optionally with additional ligands such as n-butylamine, triethanolamine or N-cyclohexyl-diethanolamine, nickel dibutyldithiocarbamate, nickel salts of 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzylphosphonic acid monoalkyl esters, such as of the methyl, ethyl or butyl ester, nickel complexes of ketoximes such as of 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-phenyl undecyl ketonoxime, nickel complexes of 1-phenyl-4-lauroyl-5-hydroxy-pyrazol, optionally with additional ligands.
(e) Oxalic acid diamides, for example, 4,4'-di-octyloxyoxanilide, 2,2'-di-octyloxy-5,5'-di-tert-butyl-oxanilide, 2,2'-di-dodecyloxy-5,5'-di-tert-butyl-oxanilide, 2-ethoxy-2'-ethyl-oxanilide, N,N'-bis-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-oxalamide, 2-ethoxy-5-tert-butyl-2'-ethyl-oxanilide and its mixture with 2-ethoxy-2'-ethyl-5,4'-di-tert-butyloxanilide and its mixtures of ortho- and para-methoxy- as well as of o- and p-ethoxy-disubstituted oxanilides.
(f) Hydroxyphenyl-s-triazines such as 2,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-4-(2-hydroxy-4-octyloxyphenyl)-s-triazine or the corresponding 4-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl) derivative.
Of particular value in the instant compositions are the benzotriazoles of high molecular weight and low volatility such as 2-[2-hydroxy-3,5-di(alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl)-phenyl]-2H-benzotriazole, 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-octylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, 2-(2-hydroxy-3-alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl-5-tert-octyl-phenyl)-2H-benzotri azole, 2-(2-hydroxy-3-tert-octyl-5-alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzylphenyl)-2H-benzotria zole, 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-amylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, 2-[2-hydroxy-3-tert-butyl-5-(2-(omega-hydroxy-octa-(ethyleneoxy)carbonyl)- ethylphenyl]-2H-benzotriazole, dodecylated 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, 2-[2-hydroxy-3-tert.butyl-5-(2-octyloxycarbonyl)ethylphenyl]-2H-benzotriaz ole and the 5-chloro compounds corresonding to each of the above named benzotriazoles.
Most preferably the benzotriazoles useful in the instant compositions are 2-[2-hydroxy-3,5-di(alpha,alphadimethyl-benzyl)phenyl]-2H-benzotriazole, dodecylated 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, 2-[2-hydroxy-3 -tert-butyl-5-(2-(omega-hydroxy-octa-(ethyleneoxy) carbonyl)-ethylphenyl]-2H-benzotriazole, 2-[2-hydroxy-3-tert-butyl-5-(2-octyloxycarbonyl)ethylphenyl]-2H-benzotriaz ole and 5-chloro-2-[2-hydroxy-3-tert.butyl-5-(2-octyloxycarbonyl)ethylphenyl]-2H-b enzotriazole.
It is also contemplated that the instant compounds will be particularly effective as stabilizers for polyolefin fibers, especially polypropylene fibers, when used in conjunction with other stabilizers selected from the group consisting of the phenolic antioxidants, hindered amine light stabilizers, organic phosphorus compounds, ultraviolet absorbers and mixtures thereof.
A preferred embodiment of the instant invention pertains to stabilized compositions comprising
(a) an acid catalyzed thermoset coating or enamel based on hot crosslinkable acrylic, polyester or alkyd resins,
(b) a NOE-substituted 2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidine compound, and
(c) a UV absorber selected from the group consisting of the benzophenones, benzotriazoles, acrylic acid derivatives, organic nickel compounds, aryl-s-triazines and oxanilides.
Further ingredients which the enamels or coatings can contain are antioxidants, for example those of the sterically hindered phenol derivatives, phosphorus compounds, such as phosphites, phosphines or phosphonites, plasticizers, levelling assistants, hardening catalysts, thickeners, dispersants or adhesion promoters.
A further preferred embodiment of the instant invention is a stabilized composition containing components (a), (b) and (c) described above which additionally contains as component (d) a phosphite or phosphonite.
The amount of phosphite or phosphonite (d) which is used in the instant compositions is from 0.05 to 2% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 1% by weight, based on the film forming resin. In two-coat systems, these stabilizers may be added to the clear coat and/or base coat.
Typical phosphite and phosphonites include triphenyl phosphite, diphenylalkyl phosphites, phenyldialkyl phosphites, tri-(nonylphenyl)phosphite, trilauryl phosphite trioctadecyl phosphite, di-stearyl-pentaerythritol diphosphite, tris-(2-di-tert.butylphenyl) phosphite, diisodecylpentaerythritol diphosphite, di-(2,4-di-tert.butylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphite, tristearyl-sorbitol triphosphite, tetrakis-(2,4-di-tert butylphenyl)-4,4'-diphenylylenediphosphonite.
The acid catalyzed thermoset enamels must be stabilized in order to function acceptably in end-use applications. The stabilizers used are hindered amines, preferably those substituted on the N-atom by an inert blocking group in order to prevent precipitation of the basic amine stabilized with the acid catalyst with a concomitant retardation in cure, optionally in combination with UV absorbers, such as the benzotriazoles, benzophenones, substituted s-triazines, phenyl benzoates or oxanilides.
The stabilizers are needed to impart greater retention of durability to the cured enamels (as measured by 20.degree. gloss, distinction of image, cracking or chalking); the stabilizers must not retard cure (normal bake for auto finishes at 121.degree. C. and low bake repair at 82.degree. C. (as measured by hardness, adhesion, solvent resistance and humidity resistance), the enamel should not yellow on curing and further color change on exposure to light should be minimized; the stabilizers should be soluble in the organic solvents normally used in coating applications such as methyl amyl ketone, xylene, n-hexyl acetate, alcohol and the like.
The instant hindered amine light stabilizers substituted on the N-atom by an O-substituted moiety fulfill each of these requirements and provide alone or in combination with a UV-absorber outstanding light stabilization protection to the cured acid catalyzed thermoset enamels.
Still another preferred combination of the instant stabilizers is with a hydroxylamine in order to protect polypropylene fibers from gas fading.
The following examples are presented for the purpose of illustration only and are not to be construed to limit the nature or scope of the instant invention in any manner whatsoever.

EXAMPLE 36
The following data show the advantages of incorporating the instant compounds with reactable functional groups into coatings over the current state of the art. These advantages included improved compatibility with the coating, improved thermal permanence, and greatly reduced extractability and migrating ability.
A model polyester urethane is formulated as shown in Table 1. To this material is added 2% (by weight on total resin solids) of various hindered amines. 5 g of each polymer formulated coating solution are placed into glass vials.
EXAMPLE 36A
Improved Compatibility
The stabilized polyester urethane samples are allowed to cure in the vials for 20 hours and are visually examined. The results are listed below.
Similarly, drawdowns of these coatings are made over glass plates and the coatings are cured by baking in a 170.degree. F. (77.degree. C.) oven for 1 hour. The coatings containing 2% by weight of the compound of Example 5 are clear and transparent.
EXAMPLE 36B
Reduced Extractability
The stabilized coatings as described in Table 1 are drawn down onto glass plates using a 6 mil drawdown bar. The samples are baked for 1 hour at 170.degree. F (77.degree. C.) and the clearcoat is removed from the glass plate using a razor blade.
The clearcoat samples are treated with refluxing toluene (110.degree. C.) for 1 hour. The samples are filtered and the supernatant liquid is analyzed using a gas chromatograph. The concentration of the additive extracted is calculated using the external standard technique. The results are as follows:
EXAMPLE 36C
Polycarbonate polymers are known to be degraded when treated with amines. The clearcoat described in Table 1 is spray applied onto a polycarbonate (Xenoy) substrate to a thickness of 1.5 mils. The coatings are baked for 30 minutes at 170.degree. F (77.degree. C.) and then allowed to stand at ambient temperature for 3 days. The coated panels are placed inside 8 oz. (237 ml) glass jars containing 2 ml of water. The capped jars are placed in a 130.degree. F. (54.degree. C.) oven for 14 days. The samples are removed from the jar, blotted dry and then tested for adhesion using the crosshatched adhesion test (ASTM Method D-3359-83). The results are as follows:
The instant compound does not adversely affect the adhesion between the coating and the plastic substrate.
EXAMPLE 37
Stabilization of High Solids Thermoset Acrylic Resin Enamel
A thermoset acrylic enamel based on a binder of 70% by weight of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, styrene and acrylic acid and of 30% by weight of a melamine resin in the presence of an acid catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid, dinonylnaphthalene disulfonic acid or dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, is formulated to include 2% by weight based on the resin solids of a benzotriazole ultraviolet absorber and an effective stabilizing amount of the test hindered amine light stabilizer.
Commercially available epoxy primed 4" .times.12" (10.16 cm.times.30.48 cm) panels (Uniprime from Advanced Coatings Technology) are spray coated with a silver metallic basecoat to a thickness of about 0.8 mil (0.023 mm) and air dried for 3 minutes. The stabilized thermoset acrylic resin enamel is then sprayed onto the basecoated panel to a thickness of about 1.7 mil (0.049 mm). After 15 minutes air-drying, the coated sheets are baked for 30 minutes at 250.degree. F. (121.degree. C.).
After storage for 1 week in an air-conditioned room, these coated panels are weathered in a QUV apparatus according to ASTM G-53/77 using FS-40 bulbs. In this test, the samples are subjected to weathering in repeated cycles for 4 hours in a humid environment at 50 degrees C. and then for 8 hours under UV light at 70 degrees C. The 20 degree gloss is measured at 300 hour intervals.
EXAMPLE 38
Light Stabilization of Polypropylene
This example illustrates the light stabilizing effectiveness of instant stabilizers.
Polypropylene powder (Himont Profax 6501) stabilized with 0.2% by weight of n-octadecyl 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate is thoroughly blended with the indicated amount of additive. The blended materials are then milled on a two-roll mill at 182.degree. C. for five minutes, after which time the stabilized polypropylene is sheeted from the mill and allowed to cool. The milled polypropylene is then cut into pieces and compression molded on a hydraulic press at 250.degree. C. and 175 psi (1.2.times.10.sup.6 Pa) into 5 mil (0.127 mm) films. The sample is exposed in a fluorescent sunlight/black light chamber until failure. Failure is taken as the hours required to reach 0.5 carbonyl absorbance by infrared spectroscopy on the exposed films.
The time to failure for a polypropylene composition containing an instant compound as stabilizer is far longer than the time to failure for polypropylene having no such stabilizer present.
EXAMPLE 39
A commercial white acrylic polyurethane refinish enamel is stabilized with 2% UV Absorber and 2% of a hindered amine derivative (% by weight based on total resin solids). This material is spray applied to a thickness of 2.4-2.6 mil onto steel panels primed with a commercial epoxy-amine primer. After storage for 1 month in an air-conditioned room, the coated panels are weathered in a Xenon Arc Weatherometer. 20 degree gloss values are reported below.
The following two-component clearcoat formulation is prepared:
The formulations are stabilized with the indicated materials in the indicated concentrations (by weight on total resin solids). They are spray applied to a film thickness of 1.7-1.8 mils over a 0.6 mil thick silver metallic waterborne basecoat, which has been spray applied to 4 inch.times.12 inch electrocoat-primed cold rolled steel panels (available from Advanced Coating Technology, Inc.) and prebaked for 5 minutes at 180.degree. F. (82.degree. C.). They are baked at 180.degree. F. (82.degree. C.) for 30 minutes.
The panels are exposed in a QUV weatherometer according to ASTM G-53/77 using FS-40 bulbs. 20 degree gloss values are determined as tabulated below:
