  • Patent number: 7332535
    Abstract: A stabilizer mixture for one or more compounds of the general formula (1) and (1A) but preferably (1), wherein the groups R independently stand for an alkyl-, cycloalkyl-, aralkyl- or aryl-rest whereas the aromatic ring system may be optionally substituted by one or more groups R? which may be identical or different and which groups R? can be an aryl-, a saturated or unsaturated alkyl-, aralkyl- or cycloalkyl-group as well as halogen, an amino-, aminoalkyl-, aminocycloalkyl-, cyano-, thiocyano- or nitrogroup. and a UV-absorber, hindered amine stabilizer, sterically hindered phenol, organophosphite, organophosphonite, organophosphine, or mixtures thereof. The present invention is useful in the protection of various polymeric substrates against the damaging influence of light exposure by the long term storage of polymers. This effect can be observed especially in so-called engineering plastics (such as, for example, PC, PET, PBT, ABS, TPU).

  • Patent number: 6388121
    Abstract: A novel process is described for preparing phosphonites or phosphinites by reacting a product of a Friedel-Crafts reaction with alcohols or phenols and separating off the byproducts formed. The novelty is the aftertreatment with a protic compound, or with an oxide, hydroxide, (hydrogen)carbonate resp. (hydrogen)phosphate of a metal or with a nitrogen containing compound (as defined in claim 1), or with any combination of one or more substances of the above mentioned compound classes. Products having a low halide and aluminium content are obtained which are distinguished by an improved clear solubility and an improved action as stabilizer for polymeric materials.
