Claims
- 1. A chlorinated cycloaliphatic (meth) acrylate composition which comprises the reaction product at a temperature in the range from -30.degree. to 50.degree. C. of chlorine with a cycloaliphatic (meth) acrylate composition having
- (A) about 60 to 95 percent by weight of dicyclopentadiene acrylate, dicyclopentadiene methacrylate, or mixtures thereof,
- (B) about 2 to 15 percent by weight of a mixture of polycyclopentadienyl acrylates of the formula ##STR4## where R is CH.sub.2 .dbd.CZC(O)--O--
- Z is H, or methyl
- n is 1, or 2
- m is 0 or 1 and when m is 0 there is a double bond present,
- (C) about 0 to about 21 percent by weight of a mixture of the copolymers of methacrylic acid or acrylic acid with adducts of cyclopentadiene with isoprene, piperylene, methylcyclopentadiene, or mixtures thereof,
- (D) about 0.05 to 10 weight percent of a mixture of polyacrylates having the repeating unit: ##STR5## where R' is hydrogen or ##STR6## R is CH.sub.2 .dbd.CZ--C(O)--O--, Z is hydrogen or methyl, n is 0, 1 or 2, and m is 0 or 1, and when m is 0, there is a double bond present in the cyclopentadienyl group, whereby said reaction product has substantially all the original acrylic unsaturation, substantially no remaining cyclolefinic unsaturation and has 1 to 3 chlorine atoms attached to the cyclopentene ring.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the reaction takes place in the presene of an inert solvent.
- 3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the reaction takes place in the presence of an halogenated solvent.
- 4. A polymer of the composition of claim 1.
- 5. A copolymer which comprises
- (A) the composition of claim 1, and
- (B) one or more unsaturated monomers.
- 6. A copolymer which comprises
- (A) the composition of claim 1, and
- (B) one or more unsaturated monomer selected from the acrylates, vinyl aromatics, allyl compounds, olefins, diolefins, and halogenated olefins.
