This invention relates to novel peroxide blends which are liquid at 25.degree. C. and lower, their method of preparation and their use in curing peroxide crosslinkable polymers. The blend is a mixture of the meta isomers or the meta and para isomers of the compounds of Formulae I, II and III and optionally Formula IV (all as defined herein) in such proportions that the composition provides a liquid mixture at 25.degree. C. or below which has a high crosslinking efficiency for polymeric materials.

Liquid peroxide compositions

N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amic acid hydrazides contain a light stabilizing group, a heat stabilizing group and an amic acid hydrazide functionality in the same molecule. The amic acid hydrazide functionality in the compounds enhances the photooxidative stabilizing properties of the hindered amine groups and contributes thermal and oxidative stabilizing and metal complexing properties to the compounds. The novel compounds are excellent light stabilizers for polyolefins, have low volatility and are not readily lost from polymeric systems via volatilization, migration or extraction.

Hydrazide functionalized benzotrialzole and oxanilide ultraviolet absorbers (Formulas I and II) useful for stabilizing coreactive or inert polymeric compositions and novel intermediates (Formula III used to make certain types of compounds of Formula I) are disclosed and have the general formulas: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8, R.sup.9, X, Y, all substituents thereof, and n are set forth in the Summary of the Invention.

Benzotriazole and oxanilide UV absorber hydrazides

Curable compositions which are precursors for cured or partially cured light stabilized epoxy resins which are the product of the reaction of some or all of the epoxy groups of an epoxy resin with an N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amic acid hydrazide as well as the cured or partially cured reaction products thereof together with processes for their use and articles of manufacture produced thereby are disclosed.

Epoxy resins containing bound light stabilizing groups

OO-t-alkyl O-polycaprolactone monoperoxy carbonate compounds comprising polycaprolactones end capped with OO-t-alkyl peroxy carbonate groups which compounds are useful in the preparation of polycaprolactone block and graft copolymers are disclosed. Also disclosed are processes for the preparation and use of the above compounds including use of the above compounds as compatibilizing agents for otherwise immiscible polymers, as well as intermediates useful in the preparative processes.

OO-t-alkyl O-polycaprolactone monoperoxycarbonates

Benzotriazole UV absorber hydrazides

Polymeric flame retardants comprise halogenated aromatic compounds having acylamino functional groups which are chemically bonded to cyclic imide-containing or imide-forming polymers or copolymers. The polymeric flame retardants are prepared by the reaction of halogenated aromatics containing a reactive hydrazido group with some or all of the anhydride groups of an cyclic alpha, beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride polymer or copolymer to form pendant halogenated-aromatic-substituted imide or amic acid groups. In addition, polymeric flame retardants are used to render thermoplastic resins less flammable under conditions which promote combustion. Novel flame retardant hydrazides are disclosed.

Flame retardants compounds

N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amide-hydrazides of dicarboxylic acids contain a light stabilizing group, a heat stabilizing group, and a reactive hydrazide functionality in the same molecule. The reactive stabilizers are prepared by reacting 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidines with diesters (or mono ester acid chlorides) of dicarboxylic acids or dialkyl itaconates followed by hydrazinolysis of the ester group of the intermediate mono esteramide. The compounds are useful for introducing permanent heat and light stability to coreactive polymers or copolymers. They are also useful in the stabilization of inert polymeric systems against the degradative effects of heat and light when merely mixed with, rather than reacted with, the polymers for which stabilization is sought.

Process for preparing reactive hindered amine light stabilizers

Ultraviolet light stabilizers are chemically bound to anhydride containing polymers or copolymers. Polymeric stabilizers are prepared by the reaction of primary amino or hydrazido-substituted UV absorbers with some or all of the anhydride groups of the polymer or copolymer to form pendant stabilizer substituted imide or amic acid groups. The polymer bound stabilizers are not lost from the polymer system by volatilization, migration, or extraction, even at high temperature. The polymer stabilizers of this invention may be used as they are or as concentrates to stabilize other polymer systems.

Hydrazido functionalized 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-benzotriazoles

The present invention comprises novel single-functional and mixtures of multi-functional oligomeric performance additive compounds having one or more components of Structure A R1 ? ? ##STR1## (The definitions of R, Z1, Z2, Z3, A1, A2, A3 and y are given in the Summary Section), their uses and polymeric compounds and compositions containing them which have enhanced oxidative stabilities, enhanced ultraviolet (UV) and light stabilites and/or enhanced flame retardance. An example is the bis sulfonic acid bispotassium salt reaction product from an oligomeric caprolactone diol (TONE.RTM. 260), 2-sulfobenzoic acid anhydride and potassium carbonate, and use of this product, at levels up to about 3.0%, in a general purpose bisphenol A polycarbonate resin, to enhance the fire resistance or flame retardance of the polycarbonate resin.

Single-functional and mixtures of multi-functional oligomeric

Polymeric flame retardants comprise halogenated aromatic compounds having acylamino functional groups which are chemically bonded to cyclic imide-containing or imide-forming polymers or copolymers. The polymeric flame retardants are prepared by the reaction of halogenated aromatics containing a reactive hydrazido group with some or all of the anhydride groups of an cyclic alpha, beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride polymer or copolymer to form pendant halogenated-aromatic-substituted imide or amic acid groups. In addition, polymeric film retardants are used to render thermoplastic resins less flammable under conditions which promote combustion. Novel flame retardant hydrazides are disclosed.

The compounds are useful for introducing permanent heat and light stability to coreactive polymers or copolymers. They are also useful in the stabilization of inert polymeric systems against the degradative effects of heat and light when merely mixed with, rather than reacted with, the polymers for which stabilization is sought.
