Polyesters heat stabilizers

In polystyrene, polymethacrylate, unsaturated polyester resins, or similar media, P.R.31 affords highly transparent colorations of medium red shades, which are used as automobile tail lights and for other signalling purposes. Its heat stability in... 

In plasticized PVC, P.R.242 shows good fastness to bleeding and provides average tinctorial strength. 1/3 SD colorations containing 5% TiOz require 1.1% pigment. Good heat stability makes P.R.242 a suitable candidate for use in polystyrene, ABS, PMMA, and polyester. 

P.R.149 also lends color to cast resins made from materials such as unsaturated polyester or methacrylic acid methylester, which are polymerized with peroxide catalysts. P.R.149 is equally lightfast in these media. In polycarbonate, the pigment tolerates exposure to more than 320°C. This is an asset in view of the fact that polycarbonate shows high melt viscosity and is thus processed at up to 340°C. The list of applications also includes other media, such as PUR foams and elastomers, for which P.R.149 is recommended because of its good heat stability and its coloristic properties. 

Along with nylons, polyester fibers approach and exceed common natural fibers such as cotton and wool in heat stability, wash-and-wear properties, and wrinkle resistance. Blended textiles from polyester, cotton, and wool also can be made to be permanent-press and... 

A number of plastics are condensation polymers and include polyesters and nylons that are not as highly oriented as the same materials but in fiber form. Other plastics have been developed that have outstanding heat stability, strength, and other properties that allow their wide use. These plastics include polycarbonates, polyimides, polybenzimidazoles, polysulfides, polyethers, polysulfones, and polyketones. 

Phenanthroline and some of its alkyl-substituted derivatives improve the heat stability of polyesters594 and magnetic recording tape.595 They also improve the color of cured polyester resins.596 They are also useful in various electroplating and electrolytic processes597-601... 

Aliphatic organofunctional silanes recommended as coupling agents for glass-reinforced polyesters, epoxies, or phenolics have heat stabilities of typical aliphatic organic chemicals and are not at all comparable to the methyl or phenyl silicones found in silicone polymers and resins. 

Set B Based on the results of set A discussed below, a third set. Set B, was prepared (Table IV). Cyasorb 531 (a benzophenone UV light absorber) was found to be the most effective stabilizer in Set A. It was therefore rerun at an even lower add-on in Set B, and since it was the only UV light absorber included in Set A, a second type of UV absorber, Tinuvin 327 (a benzotriazole) was included in Set B. Two new non-polymeric hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) Tinuvin 770 and Tinuvin 765 were also evaluated in Set B with the hope that they might be more effective than the polymeric HALS (Chimassorb 944LD) included in Set A which was quite detrimental to the heat stability. Combinations of these four additives were also applied in Set B. The three new compounds evaluated have been reported to be effective light stabilizers for polyester and polyamide fibers (Capocci, G., Ciba Geigy Corporation, Ardsley, NY, personal communication, 1986). 

Research into controlled-release antimicrobials continues with organo-silver compounds and silver zeolites, which are promising candidates for textile finishes. Silver ions, for example, incorporated in glass ceramic, have a very low toxicity profile and excellent heat stability. These principles are also used for fibre modification, an alternative to the antimicrobial finishes with high permanence. In recent years a variety of antimicrobial modified fibres have been developed, including polyester, nylon, polypropylene and acrylic types. An example of these fibre modifications is the incorporation of 0.5-2 % of organic nitro compounds...

Brominated diphenyls and brominated diphenylethers-for instance, octabromodiphenyl ether (melting point 200°C-290°C) and decabromodiphenyl ether (melting point 290°C-310°C)-have gained great significance. Possessing excellent heat stability, they are excellent flame retardants for those thermoplastics that have to be processed at high temperatures, such as linear polyesters and ABS. 

The anthraquinone dyes are based on the structure shown in Figure 4. Key properties are summarized in Table 3. Most commercial anthraquinone dyes have sufficient heat stability to be used in polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyesters. However, as indicated in Table 3, only a handful of these dyes are suitable for polyamide Figure 4. The anthraquinone resins and their blends and alloys.
