are prepared, for example, as described in US-A-4 731 393 or according to known
methods, whereas the alkenes capable of forming a group A are commercially available.

The compounds of the present invention are very effective in improving the light, heat and
oxidation resistance of organic materials, in particular synthetic polymers and copolymers,
and are particularly suitable for stabilizing polypropylene fibres on account of their
increased resistance to volAtili7Atinn.

Examples of organic materials that can be stabiliæd are:

1. Polymers of monoolefins and diolefins, for example polypropylene, polyisobutylene,
polybut- l-ene, poly-4-methylpent- l-ene, polyisoprene or polybutadiene, as well as poly-
mers of cycloolefins, for instance of cyclopentene or norbornene, polyethylene (which
optionally can be crosslinked), for example high density polyethylene (HDPE), high den-


21 63956

- 10-


sity and high molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE-HMW), high density and ultrahigh
molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE-UHMW), medium density polyethylene (MDPE),
low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), branched
low density polyethylene (BLDPE).

Polyolefins, i.e. the polymers of monoolefins exemplified in the preceding paragraph,
preferably polyethylene and polypropylene, can be prepared by different, and especially
by the following, methods:

a) radical polymerisation (normally under high pressure and at elevated
temperature).

b) catalytic polymerisation using a catalyst that normally contains one or more
than one metal of groups IVb, Vb, VIb or VIII of the Periodic Table. These
metals usually have one or more than one ligand, typically oxides, halides,
alcoholates, esters, ethers, ~min~s, aL~yls, aL~enyls and/or aryls that may be
either ~- or ~-coordinated. These-metal complexes may be in the free form or
fixed on substrates, typically on activated m;~gnesium chloride, titanium(III)
chloride, alumina or silicon oxide. These catalysts may be soluble or insoluble
in the polymerisation medium. The catalysts can be used by themselves in the
polymerisation or further activators may be used, typically metal aL~yls, metal
hydrides, metal aL~yl h~ es, metal aL~yl oxides or metal aL~yloxanes, said
metals being elements of groups Ia, IIa and/or IIIa of the Periodic Table. The
activators may be modified conveniently with further ester, ether, amine or silyl
ether groups. These catalyst systems are usually termed Phillips, Standard Oil
Indiana, Ziegler (-Natta), TNZ (DuPont), metallocene or single site catalysts
(SSC).

2. Mixtures of the polymers mentioned under 1), for example mixtures of polypropylene
with polyisobutylene, polypropylene with polyethylene (for example PP/HDPE,
PP/LDPE) and mixtures of different types of polyethylene (for example LDPE/HDPE).

3. Copolymers of monoolefins and diolefins with each other or with other vinyl mono-
mers, for example ethylene/propylene copolymers, linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) and mixtures thereof with low density polyethylene (LDPE), propylene/but-
l-ene copolymers, propylene/isobutylene copolymers, ethylene/but-l-ene copolymers,
ethylene/hexene copolymers, ethylene/methylpentene copolymers, ethylene/heptene

mers of ethylene with propylene and a diene such as hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene or ethy-
lidene-norbornene; and mixtures of such copolymers with one another and with polymers
mentioned in 1) above, for example polypropylene/ethylene-propylene copolymers,
LDPl~/ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA), LDPE/ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers
(EAA), LLDPEIEVA, LLDP~/EAA and alternating or random polyaLkylene/carbon mon-
oxide copolymers and mixtures thereof with other polymers, for example polyamides.

4. Hydrocarbon resins (for example Cs-Cg) including hydrogenated modifications thereof
(e.g. tackifiers) and mixtures of polyalkylenes and starch.

diene/alkyl acrylate, styrene/butadiene/aLkyl methacrylate, styrene/maleic anhydride,
styrene/acrylonitrile/met'nyl acrylate; mixtures of high impact strength of styrene copoly-
mers and another polymer, for example a polyacrylate, a diene polymer or an ethylenél-
propylene/diene terpolymer; and block copolymers of styrene such as styrene/butadiene/-
styrene, styrene/isoprene/styrene, styrene/ethylene/butylene/styrene or styrene/ethylene/-
propylene/ styrene.

7. Graft copolymers of styrene or a-methylstyrene, for example styrene on polybut~içne,
styrene on polybutadiene-styrene or polybut~ .ne-acrylonitrile copolymers; styrene and
acrylonitrile (or methacrylonitrile) on polybut~ nf~.; styrene, acrylonitrile and methyl
methacrylate on polybutadiene; styrene and maleic anhydride on polybutadiene; styrene,

The compounds of the formula (I) can be used in mixtures with organic materials in
various proportions depending on the nature of the material to be stabilized, on the end use
and on the presence of other additives.

polymer can be used in the form of powder, granules, solutions, suspensions or in the form
of latices.

The materials stabilized with the products of the formula (I) can be used for the production
of mouldings, films, tapes, monofilaments, fibres, surface coatings and the like.

If desired, other conventional additives for synthetic polymers, such as antioxidants, UV
absorbers, nickel stabilizers, pigme.nt~, fillers, plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors and metal
deactivators, can be added to the mixtures of the compounds of the formula (I) with the
organic m~te.ri~

Several examples of the preparation and use of the compounds of formula (I) are given in
order to give a more detailed illustration of the present invention-, these examples are

44.5 g (77.8 mmol) of 2-allyloxy-4,6-bis[N-(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidyl)butyl-
amino]- l ,3,5-triazine are dissolved in 50 ml of xylene and 2 mg of PtCl2(styrene)2 are
added.

The solution is heated to 140C and to it is slowly added, while stirring, a solution of 10 g
(3 mmol) of trimethyl-silyl terminated polymethylhydrosiloxane (possessing 53 Si-H
units) in 150 ml of xylene. The reaction is m;lin~ined at 140C for 3 hours. It is cooled to
70C and, while still stirring, 15 g (133.9 mmol) of l-octene and a further 2 mg of
PtCl2(styrene)2 are added.

The mixture is heated for 6 hours while stirring at 100C and the solvent and the excess of
l-octene are removed by vacuum distillation (140C/0.1 mbar).

A white solid with m.p. 75-79C is obtained.
NMR and IR analysis confirms the expected structure.

Si-H units) and with 15 g (133.9 mmol) of 1-octene in the presence of 4 mg of
PtCl2(styrene)2 in xylene.

After removing the solvent and the excess of 1-octene by vacuum distillation (140C/

(possessing 53 Si-H units) and with 15 g (133.9 mmol) of l-octene in the presence of 4 mg
of PtCl2(styrene)2 in xylene.

Example 5: Light-stabilizing action in polypropylene fibres.

2.5 g of each of the compounds given in Table 1, 1 g of tris(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)
phosphite, 0.5 g of calcium monoethyl 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylphosphonate, 1 g of
calcium stearate and 2.5 g of titanium dioxide are mixed in a slow mixer with 1000 g of
polypropylene powder possessing a melt index = 12 g/10 min (measured at 230C and
2.16kg).
The mixtures are extruded at 200-230C to give polymer granules which are then
converted into fibres using a pilot-type apparatus ((~Leonard-Sumirago (VA) Italy) and
operating under the following conditions:

extruder temperature : 200-230C
head temperature : 255-260C
draw ratio : 1:3.5
linear density : 11 dtex per filament

The fibres thus prepared are exposed, after mounting on white cardboard, in a model
65WR Weather-O-Meter (ASTM D2565-85) with a black panel temperature of 63C.

The residual tenacity is measured on samples taken after various times of exposure to light
by means of a constant-speed tensometer, and the exposure time in hours (Tso) needed to
halve the initial tenacity is then calculated.

For comparison, fibres prepared under the same conditions as stated above, but without
addition of the stabilizers according to the present invention, are also exposed.

Table 1 shows the results obtained.
