Abstract:
A coated or jacketed wire or cable, and components thereof are disclosed. The coating, jacket, and components, which comprise a polyolefin and a phenolic polymeric antioxidant, exhibit outstanding oxidative thermal stability (as indicated by the increase in the oxidative inductive time (OIT)), when compared to polyolefins containing traditional non-polymeric antioxidants. A greater improvement in the thermal oxidative stability is observed after the polyolefin mixtures have been aged in water-blocking filler(s).
Abstract:
A thermoplastic composition includes particular amounts of a poly(arylene ether), a hydrogenated block copolymer, a copolymer of ethylene and an alpha-olefin, a plasticizer, a white pigment, and an ultraviolet radiation stabilizer. The composition exhibits excellent light stability, and it is particularly useful for forming white or off-white cable insulation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides polyolefin compositions that are UV stable and suitable for articles that may be exposed to sunlight. The present invention provides, in one aspect, a polyolefin homopolymer or copolymer comprising, by weight of the polyolefin: (a) from 0.001 to 2 wt% hindered amine; (b) from 0.001 to 1 wt% ethoxylated amine; and (c) from 0.001 to 1 wt phenolic antioxidant; wherein the amount of phenolic antioxidant (PA), ethoxylated amine (EA) and hindered amine (HA) present in the composition is satisfied by the equation: formula (I) wherein Q ranges from 0.15 to 250 when each component is expressed as a weight percentage. The composition is stable towards UV radiation such that is useful for any number of articles such as automotive components and other articles that are, for example, injection molded.
Abstract:
A stabilizing agent for polymer materials, such as polyethylene, and a polymer material containing it are disclosed. The stabilizing agent comprises a copolymer of ethylene or propylene (A) and a vinyl compound (B) with the formula (I), wherein X=O, NH or NR5; R1, R2 and R3 independently each = H, C1-C8 alkyl, C1-C8-alkenyl or C1-C8 substituted aryl; R4=H, C1-C8 alkyl, C6-C12 cycloalkyl, C1-C10 acyl, C1-C10 acyloxy or C1-C8 alkyl ether; R5=C1-C8 alkyl; the copolymer contains at least 1 mol% of (B); and the copolymer has an MFR2 of 1- 1000 g/10 min.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin and at least one of a polyglycerin derivative in which at least one hydroxyl group of a polyglycerin molecule is esterified with a fatty acid, an N-acyl basic amino acid and a dibasic acid erythritol ester, and : i) in using said polyglycerin derivative, further comprising an antioxidant, or further comprising an antioxidant and a filler; ii) in using said N-acyl basic amino acid, further comprising a filler and wherein said thermoplastic resin contains at least one type selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin resin, a polystyrene resin, a polyester resin, a polyamide resin and an engineering plastic; and iii) in using said dibasic acid erythritol ester, further comprising a filler, and wherein said thermoplastic resin contains at least one type selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin resin, a polystyrene resin, a polyester resin, a polyamide resin and an engineering plastic, and the amount of said dibasic acid erythritol ester is less than 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin, and said ester includes an ester having a degree of esterification of not more than 50% is provided. Thus obtained thermoplastic resin composition is excellent in improving a thermal aging resistance for the resin when a thermoplastic resin is molded, and the additives for the thermoplastic resin composition are also provided.
