  • Patent number: 6570011
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of a stabilized aqueous alkali metal-2-hydroxy-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine (AHDT) solution, which entails starting at 5 to 40° C. with a solution containing either the corresponding alkali hydrogencarbonate, acetone, or a mixture thereof, and then, while cooling, adding cyanuric chloride and an alkali lye simultaneously in such a manner that the reaction temperature does not exceed 25° C. and the pH does not drop below 5.5, and during a subsequent stirring time of 2 to 30 hours adding either a very small quantity of alkali lauryl sulfate if the original starting solution contained hydrogencarbonate, or adding alkali hydrogencarbonate if exclusively acetone was used in the first reaction step, and then finally adding an alkali borate and/or a dialkali hydrogenphosphate and/or potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) as buffer. The pH, which should be ≧7.0 during the entire process, may, if necessary, be adjusted with an acid to a value between 8.0 and 9.5.

  • Patent number: 6465645
    Abstract: Hindered amine compounds which are substituted by a long hydrocarbon chain are useful in a number of applications where the solubility or compatibility afforded by said substitution is needed. This is seen particularly for example with white, dyed, dipped, unscented and/or scented candle wax which is effectively stabilized against discoloration and fading by the incorporation therein of a long chain hindered amine alone or in combination with a UV absorber and/or an antioxidant.

  • Patent number: 6455695
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process which enables easy and inexpensive preparation of alkylenebismelamines usable as components for forming resin materials, particularly aminoplasts, and flame retardants. The present invention is a process for preparation of alkylenebismelamines wherein the alkylene is a linear or branched C2-10 one by reacting an alkylenediamine wherein the alkylene is a linear or branched C2-10 one with melamine in the presence of an acidic catalyst under heating, characterized in that the amount of melamine is at least twice that of the alkylenediamine by mole.

  • Patent number: 6409941
    Abstract: A product obtainable by transferring groups of formula (G-I) being present in a block oligomer having a polydispersity {overscore (M)}w/{overscore (M)}n of 1 to 1.7 and corresponding to formula (I) to groups of formula (Gu-II), wherein R1 is a hydrocarbyl radical or —O—R1 is oxyl; said transfer is carried out by reaction of the block oligomer with a hydroperoxide in a hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a peroxide decomposing catalyst; n is a number from 2 to 14; R2 is for example C2-C12alkylene; A is for example —N(R4)(R5); R4 and R5 are for example C1-C18alkyl; R is preferably a group of formula (G-I) and B and B* have one of the meanings given for A; with the proviso that in the individual recurrent units of formula (I), each of the radicals B, R and R2 has the same or a different meaning. The products are useful as light stabilizers, heat stabilizers and oxidation stabilizers for organic materials, in particular synthetic polymers.
