Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention claimed herein relates to UV absorbing compounds and methods for their preparation. Background Art

[0002] Benzotriazole derivatives represented by the following formula (C1) belong to a chemical group that can be used as UV absorbers to protect household products from photolysis and oxidative degradation, as sunscreens in cosmetic compositions, as plastic additives, for protecting coatings from photodegradation, cracking and delamination, as additives for photographic and printing applications, as additives for electronic applications and recording materials, and for protecting ingredients in agricultural applications.

[0003] WO 2019006750 A1 describes the use of reactive benzotriazoles based on mono-trimethylolpropane:

[0004]

[0005] WO 2010130752 A1 describes the following benzotriazole UV absorbers based on trimethylolpropane and pentaerythritol molecules having the following structure

[0006]

[0007] However, a problem associated with these products is their low solubility, which makes it difficult to obtain a homogeneous mixture in the application product, especially when used in coating compositions. In addition, these products have reduced long-term stability. Therefore, it is desirable to have a UV light stabilizer that has a solubility of at least 10 g / 100 mL of xylene and / or liquid / melt at room temperature and / or has long-term stability. Therefore, an object is to develop a UV stabilizer product with a higher solubility in organic solvents, which can reduce the use of environmentally harmful solvents (such as aromatic hydrocarbons). Another object of the invention claimed herein is to provide a UV stabilizer that can provide long-term stability to materials and coatings compared to known products. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Surprisingly, it was found that UV absorbers bonded to pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane or similar backbones can improve solubility many fold.
