The various additives are blended with Moplen HF 501 N (RTM LyondellBasell, polypropylene homopolymer, powder, melt flow rate 10 g/10 min (230° C./2.16 kg), which is essentially free of any additives, in a composition according to the table A-1. The blending is carried out using a Turbula mixer.
The thoroughly blended formulations are then melt compounded in a single screw extruder at lower temperature (200° C.) under nitrogen, which is denoted in the table A-1 as the zero pass extrusion. This ensures good melt mixing with minimal damage to the polymer due to oxidative degradation.
The resultant zero pass extrudate is then extruded multiple times with a single screw extruder at a higher temperature (280° C.) and open to air. Extrusion at higher temperatures, in combination with the presence of oxygen (air) enhances the rate of polymer degradation. These aggressive extrusion conditions put a strain on the stabilization system, which allows for differentiation. Pelletized samples of zero, first, third and fifth pass extrudate are collected and stored in sealed plastic bags at room temperature in storage boxes in the dark.
Melt Flow Rates: The samples are tested for retention of molecular mass (weight). This is measured by melt flow rate retention (according to ASTM-1238) on a Göttfert MPD02. The test conditions are 230° C. and 2.16 kg. Melt flow rates are measured in grams of polymer that flow out of a defined orifice in 10 minutes and are stated as grams/10 minutes (decigrams/minute). The results are depicted in table A-1.

The compositions comprised of a low concentration of an inventive compound (110 ppm), a phenolic antioxidant (500 ppm) and a traditional phosphite melt processing stabilizer (210 ppm) provide good performance as measured by retention of melt flow rates in comparison to a common binary blend of the phenolic antioxidant (500 ppm) and the traditional phosphite melt processing stabilizer (210 or 750 ppm). The ternary blend comprising an inventive compound provides as good or better performance at lower concentrations (820 ppm) in comparison to the common binary blends at higher concentrations (1250 ppm).
Polymer Processing Experimental
The various additives are blended with the stated applied granular polymer, which is essentially free of any stabilization additives, in a composition according to the respective tables A-2-1 to A-2-4. The blending is carried out using a Henschel, a Turbula or a Kitchen-Aid mixer.
The thoroughly blended formulations are melt compounded in a twin screw extruder at a lower temperature of 210° C. (410° F.) under nitrogen, which is denoted in the tables as the zero pass extrusion. This ensures good melt mixing with minimal damage to the polymer due to oxidative degradation.
The resultant zero pass extrudate is then extruded multiple times with a single screw extruder, fitted with a Maddock mixing section, at a higher temperature of 260° C. (500° F.) or 280° C. (535° F.), open to air. Extrusion at higher temperatures in combination with the presence of oxygen (air) enhances the rate of polymer degradation. Pelletized samples of zero, first, third and fifth pass extrudate are collected and stored in sealed plastic bags at room temperature in storage boxes in the dark.
Melt Flow Rates: The samples are tested for retention of molecular mass (weight). This is measured by melt flow rate retention according to ASTM-1238 on a Tinius-Olsen Extrusion Plastometer. For polypropylene type polymer samples, the test conditions are 230° C. and 2.16 kg. For polyethylene type polymer samples, the test conditions are 190° C. and 2.16 kg or 21.6 kg. The melt flow ratio is calculated as the melt flow rate at 21.6 kg divided by the melt flow rate at 2.16 kg. Melt flow rates are measured in grams of polymer that flow out of a defined orifice in 10 minutes and are stated as grams/10 minutes (decigrams per minute).
Oven Aging: Some samples are tested for oxidative stability below the melting point of the polymer using oven aging to accelerate polymer degradation. This is done by put-ting compression molded plaques of 1 mm (40 mils) in a Blue M forced draft oven equipped with a rotating carousel in order to homogenize the exposure to an elevated temperature of 135° C. or 150° C. inside the oven. Failure is measured by days to embrittlement by bending the plaque every 3 to 4 days until the plaque snapped due to oxidative degradation. The time is stated in days.
Oxidative Induction Time: Some samples are tested for oxidative stability above the melting point of the polymer using oxidative induction time (OIT) as a means of measuring the activity of the stabilizer in the polymer melt at a high temperature of 190° C. in an oxidative environment (oxygen). The experiments are run on a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Scans are collected using a heating rate of 10° C./min under nitrogen from 50° C. to 190° C., then switching to oxygen and holding at isothermal conditions until catastrophic oxidation. Time to onset of catastrophic oxidation (observed as a strong exotherm) is stated in minutes.
