摘要

Polymeric organo-tin compounds of the general formula FORM:0694944/IV (a)/1 wherein (RO)1 represents the residue of an alcohol, R2 is the same organic group as R in the group (RO)1, R3 and R4 represent alkyl or aryl groups and n indicates the degree of polymerization, are prepared by reacting a dialkyl, diaryl or alkyl aryl tin dihalide with an alkali metal alkoxide in an anhydrous aromatic solvent, or with ammonia or a tertiary amine and alcohol in an amount not substantially exceeding the stoichiometric amount, the precipitated inorganic halide is then removed and the solvent is distilled off, the reaction and/or evaporation of the solvent being carried out at an elevated temperature, e.g. the temperature should preferably not exceed 150 DEG C. The group (RO)1 may be the residue of a saturated or unsaturated primary, secondary or tertiary aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic alcohol, e.g. methyl, ethyl, allyl, lauryl, tertiary butyl, tetrahydrofurfuryl, benzyl, phenylethyl, cinnamyl or a hydroabietyl alcohol, any of the butyl or propyl alcohols, 2-ethylhexanol, methyl isobutyl carbinol, cyclohexanol or any of the methyl or dimethyl cyclohexanols. The alkyl chain of the alcohols may be interrupted by oxygen or sulphur, e.g. ether or thioether alcohols may be used. Suitable dialkyl or diaryl tin dihalides which may be employed include dimethyl and diethyl tin dichlorides, any of the dibutyl and diamyl tin dichlorides, dioctyl, diphenyl and dibenzyl tin dichlorides, and any of the ditolyl and dixylyl tin dichlorides as well as the corresponding dibromides. The lower polymeric tin compounds are soluble in alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. benzene, toluene or xylene, and also in halogenated aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. ethylene dichloride, carbon tetrachloride, b ,b 1-dichloro-ethyl ether or chlorobenzene. The higher polymers are soluble in the same solvents at elevated temperatures with the exception of the alcohols. Synthetic resin compositions are obtained by incorporating the above polymeric organo-tin compounds with halogen-containing synthetic resins, e.g. by milling or by adding a solution of the polymeric organo-tin compound in one of the solvents referred to above to the resin. A monomeric organo-tin compound of the above general formula may be added to the resin and polymerized, e.g. by heat treatment, preferably in the presence of water vapour. Halogen-containing synthetic resins referred to include polymers of vinyl chloride, copolymers of vinyl chloride with vinyl esters of aliphatic acids particularly vinyl acetate, copolymers of vinyl chloride with esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids and with acrylonitrile, copolymers of vinyl chloride with diene compounds and unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides, e.g. copolymers of vinyl chloride with diethyl maleate, diethyl fumarate or maleic anhydride, after-chlorinated polymers and copolymers of vinyl chloride, polymers of vinylidene chloride and copolymers of the same with vinyl chloride, polymers of vinyl chloro-acetate and dichlorodivinyl ether, chlorinated polymers of vinyl acetate, chlorinated polymeric esters of acrylic and alpha-substituted acrylic acids, polymers of chlorinated styrenes, e.g. dichlorostyrene, chlorinated polymers of ethylene, polymers and after-chlorinated polymers of chlorobutadienes and their copolymers with vinyl chloride, chlorinated rubber, rubber hydrochloride and chlorinated rubber hydrochloride, and the corresponding bromides and brominated polymers. Mixtures of any of the above synthetic resins may also be used. It is preferred that the halogen-containing synthetic resins form the major constituent of the compositions, e.g. between 0.5 and 5 per cent, preferably between 1 and 3 per cent, of the polymeric tin compound based on the weight of the halogen-containing synthetic resin may be used. Plasticizers may be used in combination with the polymeric organo-tin compounds and the following plasticizers are referred to: esters of phthalic, adipic, sebacic, azelaic, citric, aconitic, tricarballic, maleic, fumaric, succinic, malonic and phosphoric acids, mercapto acids, e.g. thioglycolic acid, esters of dihydric and polyhydric alcohols, e.g. glycol, glycerol, pentaerythritol and sorbitol, esters of thioglycols, amino-alcohol derivatives, ester amides, sulphonamides, chlorinated plasticizers and carbonic acid derivatives derived from phosgene.
