Abstract
The present invention relates to an additive to prevent phase separation between a low profile additive and the other components of the molding composition, said other components comprising at least an unsaturated resin and an unsaturated monomer.
Claims20
A unsaturated resin molding composition comprising
- an additive to prevent phase separation,
- an addition polymerized polymer (D) for low profile characterized as having a number average molecular weight above 50,000 g/mole and existing as a dispersed phase in said composition,
- a radical copolymerizable unsaturated resin, and
- a polymerizable unsaturated monomer,
- wherein said additive to prevent phase separation comprises a reaction product of a functionalized polyether of a formula:
- R1—(OCδH2δ)x—(OCH2CH2)y—W-Φ-COOH with an aminic polybasic species having at least 3 primary and/or secondary amine groups per molecule and a number average molecular weight of from 100 to 100,000 g/mole in a weight ratio of said R1—(OCδH2δ)x—(OCH2CH2)y—W-Φ-COOH:aminic polybasic species of 10:1 to 60:1,
- wherein:
- R1 is a C1-C36 hydrocarbyl group which can be a cyclic, branched, or non-branched alkyl;
- aryl;
- alkylaryl or arylalkyl,
- δ is 3 and/or 4,
- x is 10-60,
- y is 0-10,
- the —(OCδH2δ) and —(OCH2CH2) repeat units can be in any order such as random or blocky and y must be less than x,
- W is an ester, imide, or optionally amide linking group that can optionally include a hydrocarbylene of 1-4 carbon atoms,
- Φ is an aryl group of 6-10 carbon atoms and said aryl group can optionally have substituent(s) which include linear or branched alkyl chains of 1-4 carbon atoms, halides, and/or —NO2.
