Abstract
Abstract“Cage” diphosphites, a new family of phosphorus antioxidants, are discussed in regard to their preparation, properties, and effectiveness in polyolefins, particularly, with phenolic stabilizers, in respect to their ability to control melt flow and color during processing. These trivalent phosphorus compounds have two different types of phosphite functionalities in their structure. One phosphorus is part of an eight membered (1,3,2‐dioxaphosphocine) ring system while the other is part of a tricyclic cage of carbon and oxygen atoms. This structures can contribute to improved hydrolytic stability over rather similar aryloxy‐alkoxy phosphites and show competitive stabilization effectiveness in the processing of polyolefins. The possible modes of formation and of hydrolysis are discussed.
