Abstract: A novel class of UV absorbers, ortho-hydroxyphenyl substituted triazine compounds bonded to aminoplast resins is provided. Compared to unanchored stabilizers, the anchored stabilizers disclosed herein have increased compatibility with coating resins and have reduced volatility due to higher molecular weights resulting from anchoring. A process for preparing the anchored stabilizers by the reaction of triazines containing active hydrogen with alkoxymethylated aminoplasts in the presence of a catalytic amount of acid. The novel ortho-hydroxylphenyl substituted triazine compounds are bound to the aminoplast resins by carbon-oxygen, carbon-carbamoyl nitrogen or carbon-active methylene carbon linkages. The aminoplasts include alkoxymethylated derivatives of glycolurils, melamines, and urea-formaldehyde resins.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to amido or carbamate substituted trisaryl-1,3,5-triazines and the use thereof to protect against degradation by environmental forces, inclusive of ultraviolet light, actinic radiation, oxidation, moisture, atmospheric pollutants and combinations thereof. The new class of trisaryl-1,3,5-triazines comprises an aryl ring attached to the triazine ring (and preferably an aryl ring containing a hydroxyl group, either free or blocked to form a latent stabilizer, ortho- to the point of attachment to the triazine ring) substituted with a group comprising a bondable amido/carbamate containing group para- to the point of attachment to the triazine ring. These materials may, under the appropriate circumstances, be bonded to formulations comprising coatings, polymers, resins, organic compounds and the like via reaction of the bondable functionality with the materials of the formulation.

Abstract: Provided is a composition which contains a mono- or bis-benzotriazole compound, an N-oxide thereof, or a mixture of at least two of the preceding compounds. Representative bis-benzotriazole compounds include 3,3′-bis-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-5,5′-di-tert-octyl-1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-diols. Representative mono-benzotriazole compounds include 3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-5,5′-di-tert-octyl-1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-diols. These mono- and bis-benzotriazole compounds are useful as stabilizers of degradable polymers against the degradative action of ultraviolet light. Also provided is a method of making these benzotriazole compounds by oxidative dimerization of the corresponding monomeric benzotriazole or by reductive cyclization of the corresponding azo- compound.
