Abstract: The present invention comprises novel single-functional and mixtures of multi-functional oligomeric performance additive compounds having one or more components of Structure A R1 ? ? ##STR1## (The definitions of R, Z1, Z2, Z3, A1, A2, A3 and y are given in the Summary Section), their uses and polymeric compounds and compositions containing them which have enhanced oxidative stabilities, enhanced ultraviolet (UV) and light stabilites and/or enhanced flame retardance. An example is the bis sulfonic acid bispotassium salt reaction product from an oligomeric caprolactone diol (TONE.RTM. 260), 2-sulfobenzoic acid anhydride and potassium carbonate, and use of this product, at levels up to about 3.0%, in a general purpose bisphenol A polycarbonate resin, to enhance the fire resistance or flame retardance of the polycarbonate resin.

Abstract: This invention provides cationic emulsions of bituminous binders of the bitumen/polymer type, formed by a dispersion of an organic phase of the binder in an aqueous phase containing a cationic nitrogenous emulsifier and a mineral or organic acid, the acid being in appropriate quantity so that the pH of the aqueous phase is comprised between 3 and 9. The aqueous phase also contains an agent consisting of at least one water-soluble sequestering salt of phosphonic acid, particularly a salt of alkaline metal or of amine of hydroxyalkyl-1,1-diphosphonic acid, and optionally a water-soluble thickening agent. To obtain the emulsions, which are usable for road applications, the emulsifying agent, the sequestering agent and optionally the thickening agent may be used in the form of a premixture containing the agents and called cationic emulsifying system.

Their shear sensitive viscosity properties makes them uniquely suitable for extrusion and blow molding applications.

Abstract: Organic materials normally subject to gradual degradation in the presence of oxygen are stabilized by inclusion of an aromatic fluorophosphite having at least one benzene group bonded through oxygen to phosphorus and at least one fluorine atom bonded directly to the same phosphorus. Stabilization is improved by also including a conventional phenolic antioxidant. Many of the aromatic fluorophosphites are new compounds.

Abstract: Stabilizers for organic polymers, consisting of one or more phosphorus-containing compounds of the family of alkyl- and/or phenyl-phosphites, alkyl- and/or phenyl-phosphonites, alkyl- and/or phenyl-diphosphonites, are directly added to the reaction mixture during the (co)polymerization of .alpha.-olefins or of mixtures thereof with other unsaturated monomers.The so-obtained polymeric compositions result perfectly stabilized, and show a thermo-oxidative resistance higher than that of the same polymeric compositions to which the same antioxidants have been added by a traditional route.

Abstract: Included are halogenated phosphate-phosphites and their acid halides and acids. The halogenated phosphate-phosphites can be prepared by a process comprising serially contacting(A) a phosphorus trihalide with a triol;(B) a halogenating agent; and(C) an oxirane or an alcohol,under conditions sufficient to prepare the halogenated phosphate-phosphite. Steps (A) and (B) can prepare their acid halides. Use of water in step (C) can prepare their acids. For example, 3-((bis(2-chloroethoxy)phosphino)oxy)(2-bromomethyl-2-methylpropyl, 2-bromoethyl, 2-chloroethyl)-phosphorate can be prepared from 2-methyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol; phosphorus trichloride; bromine; and ethylene oxide.Also included is use of the compounds as a hydraulic fluid or flame retardant. For example, polyurethanes can be rendered less flammable with the halogenated phosphate-phosphite flame retardant.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing a softening agent in which a silicone resin containing particular functional groups, a particular emulsifier and a particular antistatic agent are dispersed stably in an aqueous medium in a particular ratio, and which can give durable slippery touch, softness and processability at the same time to fibers after treatment. The invention also provides an industrially advantageous method of producing acrylic fibers which have animal hair-like touch and processability by one-step treatment, by fixing said softening agent to the acrylic fibers.
