Claims
- 1. A process for preparing a solid composition, resistant to hydrolyze and useful as a stabilizer in synthetic polymers, comprising the following steps taken before admixture of the composition with the polymers: (a) blending 2,2'-oxamido-bis(ethyl-3-(3,5-ditert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate) with organic phosphite, said organic phosphite, said organic phosphite being selected from the group consisting of compounds having the formulas: ##STR3## wherein R may be the same or different and is selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl radicals unsubstituted or substituted with alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl radicals: (b) heating said blend of step (a) to a molten mass; and (c) rapidly cooling said molted mass to about room temperature, to thereby form a composition comprising a solid continuous phase and a solid phase dispersed in said continuous phase, wherein the continuous phase is constituted by said 2,2'-oxamido-bis(ethyl-3-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate) in amorphous form and the dispersed phase is constituted by said organic phosphite in amorphous, or crystalline, or partially amorphous and partially crystalline form, and wherein the weight ratio of said continuous phase to said dispersed phase is from 9:1 to 1:9.
- 2. The process according to claim 1, further comprising homogenizing said molten mass before step (c).
- 3. The process according to claim 1, wherein the organic phosphite of formula (I) is selected from the group consisting of:
- diphenyl 2-ethylhexyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, tris(2,5-di-tert.-butyl-phenyl)-phosphite, tris (2-phenylpheyny)-phosphite, tris(2-tert.-butylphenyl)-phosphite, tris[2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)phenyl]-phosphite, tris(2-cyclohexylphenyl)-phosphite, tris(2-tert.butyl-4-phenylphenyl)-phosphite, tris(2-tert.-butyl-4-methylphenyl)-phosphite, tris(2,4-di-tert.amylphenyl)-phosphite and tris(2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl)-phosphite.
- 4. The process according to claim 1, wherein the organic phosphite of formula (II) is selected from the group consisting of: bis(2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphate and distearyl-pentaerythritol diphosphite.
- 5. The process according to claim 1, wherein the organic phosphite of formula (III) is: tetrakis(2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl)-4,4'-biphenylene diphosphonite.
- 6. The process according to claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of said continuous phase to said dispersed phase is from 3:7 to 7:3.
- 7. The process according to claim 1, wherein the size of the particles of said dispersed phase is from 50 to 500 .mu.m.
- 8. The process according to claim 1, wherein the step (b), said blend is heated to about 180.degree.-200.degree. C.
- 9. The process according to claim 1, wherein step (c) comprises pouring said molten mass onto a cold metal plate.
- 10. The process according to claim 1, wherein step (c) comprises contacting said molten mass with a cold, non-reactive liquid.
- 11. The process according to claim 10, wherein said liquid is water.
- 12. The process according to claim 1, wherein step (c) comprises contacting said molten mass with an inert gas.
- 13. The process according to claim 12, wherein said inert gas is nitrogen.
- 14. A process for preparing a solid composition, resistant to hydrolyze and useful as a stabilizer in synthetic polymers, comprising:
- (a) blending 2,2'-oxamido-bis(ethyl-3-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-hydroyphenyl)-propionate) with organic phosphite, said organic phosphite being selected from the group consisting of: diphenyl 2-ethylhexyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, tris(2,5-di-tert.-butyl-phenyl)-phosphite, tris(2-tert.-butylphenyl)-phosphite, tris(2-phenylphenyl)-phosphite, tris(2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)phenyl)-phosphite, tris-(2-cyclohexylphenyl)-phosphite, tris(2-tert.butyl-4-phenylphenyl)-phosphite, tris(2-tert.-butyl-4-methyl-phenyl)-phosphite, tris(2,4-di-tert.-amylphenyl)-phosphite, tris (2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl)-phosphite, bis(2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl)pentaerythritol diphosphite, distearyl-pentaerythritol diphosphite, and tetrakis(2,4-di-tert.-butylphenyl)-4,4'-biphenylene diphosphonite;
- (b) heating said blend of step (a) to a molten mass; and
- (c) rapidly cooling said molten mass to about room temperature, to thereby form a composition comprising a solid continuous phase and a solid phase dispersed in said continuous phase, wherein the continuous phase is constituted by said 2,2'-oxamido-bis(ethyl-3-(3,5-di-tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate) in amorphous form and the dispersed phase is constituted by said organic phosphate in amorphous, or crystalline, or partially amorphous and partially crystalline form, and wherein the weight ratio of said continuous phase to said dispersed phase is from 9:1 to 1:9.
