The present invention relates to novel sulfur containing organotin compounds useful as stabilizers for polyvinyl chloride and other halogen containing polymers.
In the broadest aspect these are prepared organotin compounds having (1) at least two tin atoms linked by a bridge through sulfur, carboxylate groups or both, said bridge also containing at least two carbon atoms, (2) directly attached to the tin atoms one to two alkyl groups containing one to eight carbon atoms and (3) a mercaptoalkanol or derivative thereof directly attached to at least one of the tin atoms through the sulfur atom.
The bridges can be described as consisting of --S∼S--, ##STR1## and no other functions, e.g. there are no bis oxide, alcoholate or phenate groups in the bridge. The nature of the bridge is inconsequential so long as it contains at least two carbon atoms in the chain.

The stabilizers of the present invention can be used with halogen-containing vinyl and vinylidene polymers, e.g., resins in which the halogen is attached directly to the carbon atoms. Preferably the polymer is a vinyl halide polymer, specifically a vinyl chloride polymer. Usually, the vinyl chloride polymer is made from monomers consisting of vinyl chloride alone or a mixture of monomers comprising at least 70% vinyl chloride by weight. When vinyl chloride copolymers are stabilized, preferably the copolymer of vinyl chloride with an ethylenically unsaturated compound copolymerizable therewith contains at least 10% of polymerized vinyl chloride.
As the chlorinated polymer there can be employed chlorinated polyethylene having 14 to 75%, e.g., 27% chloride by weight, chlorinated natural and synthetic rubber, rubber hydrochloride, chlorinated polystyrene, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl bromide, polyvinyl fluoride, copolymers of vinyl chloride with 1 to 90%, preferably 1 to 30% of a copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated material such as vinyl acetate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl benzoate, vinylidene, chloride, diethyl fumarate, diethyl maleate, other alkyl fumarates and maleates, vinyl propionate, methyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexylacrylate, butyl acrylate and other alkyl acrylates, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate and other alkyl methacrylates, methyl alpha chloroacrylate, styrene, trichloroethylene, vinyl ethers such as vinyl ethyl ether, vinyl chloroethyl ether and vinyl phenyl ether, vinyl ketones such as vinyl methyl ketone and vinyl phenyl ketone, 1-fluoro-2-chloroethylene, acrylonitrile, chloroacrylonitrile, allylidene diacetate and chloroallyidene diacetate. Typical copolymers include vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate (96:4 sold commercially as VYNW), vinyl chloride-vinylacetate (87:13), vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-maleic anhydride (86:13:1), vinyl chloride-vinylidene chloride (95:5), vinyl chloride-diethyl fumarate (95:5), vinyl chloride-trichloroethylene (95:5), vinyl chloride-2-ethylhexyl acrylate (80:20).
The stabilizers of the present invention can be incorporated with the polymer by admixing in an appropriate mill or mixer of by any of the other well-known methods which provide for uniform distribution throughout the polymer composition. Thus, mixing can be accomplished by milling on rolls at 100°-160°C
In addition to the novel stabilizers, there can also be incorporated with the resin, conventional additives such as plasticizers, pigments, fillers, dyes, ultraviolet light absorbing agents, densifying agents and the like. There can also be added conventional and known tin stabilizers, e.g., those disclosed in Kauder or Kugele et al or in Weisfeld U.S. Pat. No. 3,640,950, Leistner U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,870,119 and 2,870,182, Best U.S. Pat. No. 2,731,484, Stefl U.S. Pat. No. 2,731,482, and Mack U.S. Pat. No. 2,914,506, for example. The entire disclosures of all the patents mentioned in this paragraph are hereby incorporated by reference.
If the plasticizer is employed, it is used in conventional amount, e.g., 10 to 150 parts per 100 parts of polymer. Typical plasticizers are di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, dibutyl sebacate, dioctyl sebacate, tricresyl phosphate.
The tin containing stabilizers of the invention are normally used in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by weight of the polymer, more preferably 0.2 to 5% of the tin compound is used by weight of the polymer.
As indicated, there can also be incorporated 0.1 to 10 parts per 100 parts of the halogen containing polymer of a metal salt stabilizer. Thus, there can be used barium, strontium, calcium, cadmium, zinc, lead, tin, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, titanium and aluminum salts of phenols, aromatic carboxylic acids, fatty acids or epoxy fatty acids.
Examples of suitable salts include barium di(nonylphenolate), strontium di(nonylphenolate), strontium di(amylphenolate), barium di(octylphenolate), strontium di(octylphenolate), barium di(nonyl-o-cresolate), lead di(octylphenolate), cadmium-2-ethyl hexoate, cadmium laurate, cadmium stearate, zinc caprylate, cadmium caprate, barium stearate, barium-2-ethylhexoate, barium laurate, barium ricinoleate, lead stearate, aluminum stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium octoate, calcium stearate, cadmium naphthenate, cadmium benzoate, cadmium p-tert. butylbenzoate, barium octyl salicylate, cadmium epoxy stearate, strontium epoxy stearate, cadmium salt of epoxidized acids of soybean oil, and lead epoxy stearate.
In plastisol formulations there is preferably also included from 0.1 to 10 parts per 100 parts of polymer of an epoxy vegetable oil such as epoxidized soybean oil or epoxidized tall oil, epoxy esters of fatty acids, e.g., isooctyl epoxystearate.
