The weight ratio of the compound of the formula (I) to the conventional additive is for example 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 1:100 to 10:1, in particular 1:10 to 10:1.
Another object of the present invention is a method for stabilizing an organic material against degradation induced by light, heat or oxidation with reduced blooming, which comprises incorporating into said organic material at least one compound of the formula (I) and at least one anti-scratch additive.
The examples below illustrate the invention in greater detail. All percentages and parts mentioned in the present application are by weight, unless stated otherwise.
Base Formulation:
78.3% by weight of thermoplastic polyolefin (Daplen® EE013 AE of Borealis; Melt Flow Rate: 11 g/10 min (ISO 1133); Density: 905 kg/m3 (ISO 1183)),
20% by weight of talc,
1.5% by weight of carbon black,
0.1% by weight of tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite,
0.05% by weight of calcium stearate
and
0.05% by weight of pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate).
Further additives, as outlined below, are incorporated with the same method as for the base formulation. In every case, the percentage by weight of the thermoplastic polyolefin is adjusted to have the sum of all ingredients giving 100%.
Preparation of the Tested Specimen:
The base formulation is pre-mixed in a high-speed mixer. This mixture is combined with the further additives listed in Tables 1 to 3 in a high-speed mixer and then compounded in a twin-screw extruder Berstorff ZE 25×32D at 230° C. The full formulation is then injection molded on an Engel HL65 injection molding machine. The injection molded plaques (60 mm×60 mm×2 mm) are exposed to artificial weathering according to the international norm DIN EN ISO 105-B06 (Xenon light, irradiance 1.20 W/(m2 nm) @ 420 nm, dry bulb temperature 65° C., relative humidity 30%+/−5%). The parameters measured are color deviation (gray scale and Delta E*) and gloss at 60°. The results are listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
The results shown above clearly reveal that the combination of Compound (A) plus erucamide provides a better retention of the properties of the tested thermoplastic polyolefin and better scratch resistance than Compound (A) or erucamide alone.
The injection molded plaques which are prepared as described in Example 1 are exposed to artificial weathering (Xenon light, irradiance 40 W/m2 @ 300-400 nm, dry bulb temperature 45° C., relative humidity 20%+/−10%). The tackiness of the surface of the exposed samples is assessed after several durations of exposure and rated according to the scale shown below:
1 No tackiness
2 Light exuding but no tackiness
3 Light tackiness
5 Strong tackiness
6 Gummy surface
7 Waxy surface
The results are listed in Table 4.
This example shows that the combination of Compound (A) plus erucamide provides a surface which shows no tackiness over the exposure time.
Injection molded plaques which are prepared in analogy to Example 1 are placed in a hot air oven with forced air convection heating at 150° C. The samples are inspected periodically. The criteria is embrittlement, assessed by visual inspection. The results are listed in Table 5.
This example shows that the additive mixture of Compound (A)+erucamide provides the base formulation with a long-term thermal stability.
