The present invention provides a process for coating the surface of a substrate comprises the following steps (i) oxidizing the surface of the substrate (ii) applying a composition comprising one or more quaternary ammonium compounds carrying one or more ethylenically unsaturated groups onto the oxidized surface of the substrate and (iii) curing the composition in order to form a coating layer, and substrates obtainable by the latter process.

Substrates with biocidal coating

Compounds which have a benzotriazole and a hindered amine moiety in the same molecule are typified by the formula A wherein at least one of G, Ror Rcontains a hindered amine moiety are extremely effective light stabilizers having both the UV absorbing activity of a benzotriazole and the light stabilizing efficacy of a hindered amine in the same molecule. These compounds are effective stabilizers for thermoset resin compositions, thermoplastic resin compositions, for photographic applications, for pigmented or dyed polypropylene, polyamide or polyester fibers, and for white, dyed, dipped, unscented and/or scented candle wax against discoloration and fading when incorporated therein alone or in combination with an antioxidant.

Benzotriazole/HALS molecular combinations and compositions stabilized therewith

Benzotriazole/hals molecular combinations and compositions stabilized therewith

2H-Benzotriazole UV absorbers substituted at the 3-position and/or the 5-position of the phenyl ring by &agr;-cumyl moiety which is substituted by a heteroatom are particularly photostable in automotive coatings, and are of low color and exhibit low volatility in thermoplastic compositions.

Benzotriazoles containing &agr;-cumyl groups substituted by heteroatoms and compositions stabilized therewith
