Abstract

Abstract Polyolefins are rendered resistant to degradation upon exposure to heat by incorporating therein a stabilizing amount of a synergistic combination of a phenol-terpene resin, a sulfur-containing secondary antioxidant and a phosphonitrilic composition derived rom a phosphonitrilic halide and certain hydroxy compounds. The above synergistic combination is especially effective for stabilizing polyolefins containing carbon black.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A polyolefin composition containing, based on the weight of the polyolefin, about 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a phenol terpene resin, about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a sulfur-containing secondary antioxidant and about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a phosphonitrilic composition derived from a phosphonitrilic halide and a hydroxy compound selected from an alkanol containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms and a diol having the formula ##STR3## wherein X is a covalent bond or alkylene of 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and n is an integer of 1 to about 200.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A polyolefin composition containing, based on the weight of the polyolefin, about 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a phenol terpene resin, about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a sulfur-containing secondary antioxidant and about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a phosphonitrilic composition derived from a phosphonitrilic halide and a hydroxy compound selected from an alkanol containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms and a diol having the formula ##STR3## wherein X is a covalent bond or alkylene of 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and n is an integer of 1 to about 200.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 64 words
A polyolefin composition according to claim 1 comprising a polymer of an α-olefin of 2 to 4 carbon atoms containing, based on the weight of the polymer, about 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a terepene phenol resin, about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a sulfur-containing secondary antioxidant and about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of the phosphonitrilic composition defined in claim 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 97 words
A polyolefin composition according to claim 1 comprising polyethylene or polypropylene containing, based on the weight of the polyethylene or polypropylene, about 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a terpene phenol resin, about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of distearyl or dilauryl thiodipropionate and about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of a triphosphonitrilic composition wherein the predominant compound is the trimer having the formula ##STR4## wherein R 3 and R 4 each is an alkyl group of up to 12 carbon atoms or each pair of R 3 and R 4 in combination represent ethylene or propylene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
