Abstract: Incorporating antimicrobial metals, such as silver salts, into an anticorrosion coating provides both excellent antimicrobial protection and surprisingly improves the anti corrosion activity as well, proving anti corrosion coatings effective as thin films and well suited for coating medical devices. Suitable binder polymers for the coating include but not limited to polyelectrolytes containing charged and/or potentially chargeable groups and polymers containing hydrophilic entities.

Abstract: Compounds which have a benzotriazole and a hindered amine moiety in the same molecule are typified by the formula A wherein at least one of G2, R1 or R2 contains a hindered amine moiety are extremely effective light stabilizers having both the UV absorbing activity of a benzotriazole and the light stabilizing efficacy of a hindered amine in the same molecule. These compounds are effective stabilizers for thermoset resin compositions, thermoplastic resin compositions, for photographic applications, for pigmented or dyed polypropylene, polyamide or polyester fibers, and for white, dyed, dipped, unscented and/or scented candle wax against discoloration and fading when incorporated therein alone or in combination with an antioxidant.

Abstract: Provided is a process for preparing 2H-benzotriazole UV absorbers containing a perfluoroalkyl moiety at the 5-position of the benzoic ring, for example a trifluoromethyl group, which involves digitizing the perfluoroalkyl substituted o-nitroaniline using concentrated sulfuric acid plus sodium nitrite or nitrosylsulfuric acid to form the corresponding monoazobenzene intermediate via the diazonium salt intermediate which is reduced to the corresponding 5-perfluoroalkyl substituted 2H-benzotriazole UV absorber compound by conventional reduction means. Also provided is a novel one-pot, multiphase reaction for the preparation of 2(2-nitrophenylazo) substituted phenols, which are precursors for 2H-benzotriazole UV absorbers.

Abstract: 2H-Benzotriazole UV absorbers substituted at the 3-position and/or the 5-position of the phenyl ring by a phenyl moiety which is substituted by a heteroatom are particularly photostable in automotive coatings, and are of low color and exhibit low volatility in thermoplastic compositions.
