  • Patent number: 6262151
    Abstract: Benzotriazole UV absorbers which are substituted at the 5-position of the benzo ring by an electron withdrawing group exhibit enhanced durability and very low loss rates when incorporated into automotive coatings. This is particularly the case when the 3-position of the phenyl ring is also substituted by phenyl or phenylalkyl such as &agr;-cumyl. Compounds where the 5-position of the benzo ring are substituted by perfluoroalkyl such as trifluoromethyl are particularly of interest for both their enhanced durability and for their excellent solubility and excellent color properties in some thermoplastic compositions when the phenyl ring is substituted at the 3-position by hydrogen or tert-alkyl.

This is particularly the case when the 3-position of the phenyl ring is also substituted by phenyl or phenylalkyl such as .alpha.-cumyl. Compounds where the 5-position of the benzo ring are substituted by perfluoroalkyl such as trifluoromethyl are particularly of interest for both their enhanced durability and for their excellent solubility and excellent color properties in some thermoplastic compositions when the phenyl ring is substituted at the 3-position by hydrogen or tert-alkyl.

  • Patent number: 6166212
    Abstract: N-(Hydroxyalkoxy) hindered amine stabilizers are prepared by reacting the corresponding N-oxyl compound with a peroxide or organic hydroperoxide and a catalytic amount of a metal salt or metal-ligand complex in an alcohol solvent. These N-(hydroxyalkoxy) hindered amines are particularly useful as stabilizers for polyolefins, thermoplastic polyolefins and automotive coating compositions.
