A process for preparing certain phosphite-isocyanurate oligomers. The process requires the reaction of a trishydroxyalkyl isocyanurate with a tris-organophosphite and, optionally, an alcohol or alkylphenol. The process is promoted by an alkaline catalyst such as sodium methoxide. The oligomeric product is useful as a thermal stabilizer in polymer compositions.

Process for preparing phosphite-isocyanurates oligomers

Certain phosphite-isocyanurate oligomers and their use as thermal stabilizers in polymer compositions. The phosphite-isocyanurates may be prepared from a tris-hydroxyalkyl isocyanurate by reaction with an organic phosphite such as triphenyl phosphite or tributyl phosphite. Optionally, an alcohol such as decyl alcohol may be employed as a reactant.
