The invention relates to novel compounds of the formula I, II; III or IV wherein the general symbols are as defined in claim. These compounds are useful as surface modifiers for polymers in order to improve resistance to fog formation or water and oil repellency.

Permanent surface modifiers

The present invention relates to highly compatible hydroxyphenyltriazine UV-absorbers and to their use in protecting plants in green houses and the protection of foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, shampoos and the like from the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation. It has been found that certain highly compatible tris-aryl-s-triazines are especially effective towards this end when incorporated in the containers or films in which such materials are stored.

Highly compatible hydroxyphenyltriazine UV-absorbers

The invention relates to novel compounds of the formula I, II; III or IV wherein the general symbols are as defined in claim 1. These compounds are useful as surface modifiers for polymers in order to improve resistance to fog formation or water and oil repellency. 

The present invention relates to highly compatible, high molecular weight hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole UV-absorbers and for their use in protecting plants in green houses and the protection of foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, shampoos and the like from the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation. It has been found that certain highly compatible, high molecular weight hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole UV-absorbers are especially effective towards this end when incorporated in the containers or films in which such materials are stored.

High molecular weight hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole uv-absorbers for thin film applications

The invention relates to metathesis polymers wherein an aromatic group that has UV-light absorbing properties is attached with a bridge group to the polymer. Also disclosed is a polymerizable composition comprising a catalytically effective amount of a penta- or hexavalent ruthenium or osmium carbene catalyst, the process for preparing the metathesis polymer by applying the reaction conditions of Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (=ROMP) to the polymerizable composition; and various technical applications of the metathesis polymers.
