EP 1 732 965 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 1 732 965 B1 Description FIELD OF THE INVENTION 5 [0001] This invention relates to color stabilizing compositions, and more particularly to color stabilizing compositions useful for stabilizing the color of isocyanates, particularly polyisocyanate oligomers and prepolymers, to be used to prepare polyurethane coatings, films therefrom. The polyisocyanates can also be used to form adhesives, sealants and elastomers. 10 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Two component thermosetting polyurethanes are widely used in protective coatings or films in a broad range of applications, such as for example, coatings for automotive machinery, equipment, and other surfaces in need of a protective coating. These room temperature- curable polyurethanes are prepared from polyisocyanates and a component 15 containing an active hydrogen compound, such as a polyol or an amine. [0003] Two-component polyurethane coating systems include a polyisocyanate component that reacts with a polyol component that comprises, for example, an acrylic polyol or polyester polyol, to form useful films. The system also includes organic solvents, and a variety of adjuvant components, e.g., surface active agents, pigments, dispersants, diluents, and fillers. This type of coating is one of the finest coatings available that can be produced without the applicatio n 20 of heat or other external sources of energy. They are very useful for objects that cannot be heat-cured, such as large machinery, airplanes, ships and vehicles. [0004] In some embodiments, two component polyurethane compositions are cured at elevated temperature. It has been recognized that such systems tend to discolor at elevated temperatures and prior art methods to stabilize the color of such polyurethanes systems have been developed. The approach of these methods is either purification or stabilization 25 of the polyisocyanate. For example, U.S. 4,297, 472 teaches adding a small amount of vicinal diols to the formulation to improve the color stability of the polyurethanes. U.S. 4,065, 362 teaches a process to purify the organic isocyanate, U.S. 3,715, 381 teaches incorporating 2,4-di (t-butyl)-p-cresol (BHT) in the formulation, and U.S. 2,957, 903 teaches incorporating an amount of triaryl phosphite in a polyisocyanate. U.S. 4,677, 154 relates to elimination of discoloration in polyurethanes, particularly thermoplastic polyurethanes, by the addition to the reaction mixture from 0.01 to 1 percent 30 by weight, based on the isocyanate component, a stabilizer package characterized as BHT and a compound selected from a specific group of compounds which includes tris (nonylphenyl) phosphite, distearyl thiodipropionate, triisodecyl phosphite, trilauryl trithiophosphite, and blends thereof. [0005] EP 0 425 710 discloses a process for producing a modified organic polyisocyanate having an isocyanurate ring. EP 0 210 859 relates to curable compositions for use as adhesives, coatings and sealants. WO 98/14492 discloses 35 a process for the production of micro- cellular or non- cellular, light-stable elastomeric, flexible or semiflexible polyurethane mouldings. US 5,719,229 relates to solid elastomeric polyurethanes. US 6,043,332 relates to a process for the production of polyisocyanates containing uretdione groups. EP 0 735 027 discloses a process for the preparation of (cyclo) aliphatic uretdiones. GB1102387 relates to stabilized isocyanate- ether solutions. US2002115782 discloses a thermoplastic mold- ing composition comprising a polyurethane elastomer. DE1802659 relates to vinyl fluoride polymers. US 3,069,369 40 relates to colour stabilised polyethylene compounds. GB923190 relates to antioxidant compositions. US 3,115,465 discloses compositions comprising phosphite esters and a methylene bis- phenol. US4,305,839 discloses thestabilisation of impurehydroxybenzophenones by the addition of an organic phosphiteor organic phosphonite. WO94/19385 discloses a process for the polymerization of cyclo-olefins. [0006] Other two component polyurethane systems are curable at relatively mild temperatures in the presence of a 45 catalyst for promoting reaction of the polyisocyanate with the polyol. In one embodiment of such low temperature curing two component polyurethane coating systems, the catalyst is included in the polyisocyanate component of the system to form a "hardener" component that is subsequently combined with the polyol component to form a curable coating composition. However, it has been found that including the catalyst in the polyisocyanate component of such systems markedly increases the potential for undesirable discoloration of the polyisocyanate and related coating and despite the 50 known color stabilizing methods, it has been found that a need exists for a stabilizer that will efficiently stabilize the colo r of a solution of an isocyanate in the presence of a catalyst for the reaction of the isocyanate with an active hydrogen compound. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 55 [0007] It has been discovered in accordance with this invention that color of isocyanates can be stabilized by admixing with the isocyanate a color stabilizing effective amount of a stabilizer comprised of a trialkyl phosphite component, each alkyl group of said trialkyl phosphite component having less than 10 carbon atoms. Typically, the stabilizer is a system 2 EP 1 732 965 B1 which will also further comprise a phenolic antioxidant component (e. g. a t- butylated hydroxytoluene selected from the group consisting of 2,6ditertiarybutyl hydroxytoluene and 2-tertiarybutyl hydroxytoluene). [0008] In a first aspect, the present invention is directed to a hardener composition for use as the first component of a two component polyurethane coating composition, comprising: 5 one or more aliphatic polyisocyanate oligomers selected from a polyisocyanate dimer, a polyisocyanate trimer, a product of condensation of two or more polyisocyanate dimers, a product of condensation of two or more polyiso- cyanate trimers, or a condensation product of dimers with trimers, derived from isophorone diisocyanate, ethylene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, decamethylene diisocyanate, or nor- 10 bornene diisocyanate, a catalyst for promoting reaction of the polyisocyanate with a reactive hydrogen compound, a first antioxidant comprising one or more of sterically hindered phenol antioxidants and secondary aryl amine antioxidants, and 15 a second antioxidant comprising one or more organophosphite antioxidants according to the formula: (RO)3P wherein each R is independently alkyl or aryl. 20 [0009] In a second aspect, the present invention is directed to a polyisocyanate formulation suitable for use in preparing polyurethanes therefrom in which the color stabilizing effective amount of the stabilizer system trialkyl phosphite com- ponent, each alkyl group of said trialkyl phosphite component having less than 10 carbon atoms, comprises from 0.1 to 2.0 weight % based on the total weight of the polyisocyanate formulation. 25 [0010] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a color stabilized isocyanate composition for use in a formulation for preparing polyurethanes therefrom, the color stabilized isocyanate composition comprising: (a) a phenolic antioxidant, e.g. a t- butylated hydroxytoluene selected from the group consisting of 2,6- ditertiarybutyl hydroxytoluene and 2-tertiarybutyl hydroxytoluene, 30 (b) a trialkyl phosphite component, each alkyl group of said trialkyl phosphite component having less than 10 carbon atoms and (c) at least one isocyanate. 35 [0011] Ina fourth aspect, the presentinvention is directed toa method for making

  • Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) Crops
    Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) Crops 1 2 Executive Summary 3 A petition was filed with the NOSB to use butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as an antioxidant in a number of pheromone 4 formulations. Pheromones and BHT would be enclosed in a plastic matrix, allowing slow release of the materials into the 5 air. Due to low volatility of BHT, most of it would remain in the dispenser and direct contact with the crop would be 6 negligible. BHT is an alkylated cresol that can be synthesized several ways. The p-cresol starting material is isolated from 7 coal tar or petroleum. It is also obtained synthetically from toluene. The p-cresol is alkylated with isobutylene gas in the 8 presence of an acidic catalyst to produce BHT. It is used as an antioxidant in food, and is also used as a stabilizer in 9 pesticides, gasoline, lubricants, soaps and cosmetics, and as an antiskinning agent in paints and inks. 10 11 The material has not been reviewed by NOSB before, and because it is synthetic and on List 3, is currently prohibited for 12 use in organic production under the National Organic Program Standards. However, pheromone formulations that use 13 BHT have been widely used by organic farmers. Impacts on the environment and human health from this application 14 should be negligible. The TAP reviewers unanimously concluded that BHT should be added to the National List as an 15 allowed synthetic with the annotation: for use in organic crop production systems as an antioxidant for pheromones 16 enclosed in plastic dispensers. The reviewers were all concerned with the precedent that this set, and made it clear that 17 addition to the National List should be made only if application and use is limited.

Oxidation ratio (% oxidized in relation to total Q10) has been proposed as an important biomarker. A sensitive and reproducible HPLC-ECD method was developed for determination of reduced and oxidized Q10 in canine plasma and heart tissue. Chromatographic separation was achieved in 10 min using a Waters Nova-pak C18 column and a mobile phase with lithium perchlorate in ethanol/methanol/2-propanol. The validation showed satisfying results. Excellent linear correlation was found (r2 > 0.9997), intra- and inter-day precisions were below 6.5% (n = 5) and recoveries were between 89 and 109% (n = 5). Sensitivity stated as Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) was 10 nM. Acceptable stability of both extracted and un-extracted samples was observed. The plasma concentration range of total Q10 was found to be between 0.64 and 1.24 µg/mL. Comparison with a developed LC-MS/MS method showed a correlation of r = 0.85 for reduced Q10 and r = 0.60 for oxidized Q10 (N = 17).

Within this study, we evaluated the quality of commercial cosmetics with vitamin A (35 products), vitamin E (49 products), and coenzyme Q10 (27 products) by using validated HPLC– UV methods. Vitamin A was determined as retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl propionate, β carotene, and hydroxypinacolone retinoate in concentrations ranging from 950 ng/g to 19 mg/g. Total vitamin A contents, expressed with retinol equivalents, ranged from 160 ng/g to 19 mg/g, and were above the maximum concentration recommended by the SCCS in six of the 35 tested cosmetics. The content-related quality control of 10 cosmetics with specified vitamin A content revealed significant deviations (between 0% and 400%) of the label claim. Vitamin E was determined as both tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate in concentrations between 8.5 µg/g and 16 mg/g. Coenzyme Q10 was determined as ubiquinone in 24 tested cosmetics, which labelled it, in concentrations between 4.2 µg/g and 100 µg/g. Labelling irregularities were observed in all three active compound groups, resulting in a significant share (42%) of improperly labelled cosmetic products. The results of this study reveal the need for stricter cosmetics regulation and highlight the importance of their quality control, especially by evaluating the contents of the active compounds, in their efficacy and Citation: Temova Rakuša, Ž.; Roškar, safety assurance.

Objectives We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of oral CoQ10 in female breast cancer patients with the primary objective of determining CoQ10’s effects on self-reported fatigue, depression, and quality of life (QOL). Methods Eligible women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and planned adjuvant chemotherapy were randomized to oral supplements of 300 mg CoQ10 or placebo, each combined with 300 IU vitamin E, divided into 3 daily doses. Treatment was continued for 24 weeks. Blood tests, QOL measures, and levels of plasma CoQ10 and vitamin E were obtained at baseline and at 8, 16, and 24 weeks.

  • Butylated Hydroxytoluene (Bht) for Possible Carcinogenicity
    National Cancer Institute CARCINOGENESIS Technical Report Series No. 150 1979 BIOASSAY OF BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE (BHT) FOR POSSIBLE CARCINOGENICITY CAS No. 128-37-0 NCI-CG-TR-150 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Public Health Service National Institutes of Health BIOASSAY OF BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE (BHT) FOR POSSIBLE CARCINOGENICITY Carcinogenesis Testing Program Division of Cancer Cause and Prevention National Cancer Institute National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland 20205 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Public Health Service National Institutes of Health NIH Publication No. 79-1706 BIOASSAY OF BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE (BHT) FOR POSSIBLE CARCINOGENICITY Carcinogenesis Testing Program Division of Cancer Cause and Prevention National Cancer Institute National Institutes of Health FOREWORD: This report presents the results of the bioassay of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) conducted for the Carcinogenesis Testing Program, Division of Cancer Cause and Prevention, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland. This is one of a series of experiments designed to determine whether selected chemicals have the capacity to produce cancer in animals. A negative result, in which the test animals do not have a greater incidence of cancer than control animals, does not necessarily mean that a test chemical is not a carcinogen, inasmuch as the experiments are conducted under a limited set of circumstances. A positive result demonstrates that a test chemical is carcinogenic for animals under the conditions of the test and indicates that exposure to the chemical is a potential risk to man. The actual determination of the risk to man from chemicals found to be carcinogenic in animals requires a wider analysis.
