Abstract
Metallic fillers are provided which are stabilized against corrosion. The metallic fillers are stabilized by treating the surface of the filler particles wtih a triazole, preferably an aromatic triazole. This may be accomplished either by pretreating the filler with a solution of the triazole, or by adding the triazole to a polymeric composition containing a metallic filler. Polymeric compositions are further provided, e.g. compositions for microwave absorption, comprising a polymeric binder, a metallic filler and a triazole.
Claims12
A polymeric composition consisting essentially of:
- a. a polymeric binder;
- b. an electrically non-conductive ferromagnetic filler selected from the group consisting of carbonyl iron, ferrites and mixtures thereof;
- and
- c. tolyltriazole.
A polymeric composition comprising:
- a) from about 5 to 30 weight percent of a two component polyurethane, comprising an MDI based polyether prepolymer and an oligomeric diamine;
- b) from about 70 to 95 weight percent of electrically nonconductive carbonyl iron;
- and
- c) from about 0.5 to 5 weight percent of an aromatic triazole;
- wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of a), b) and c).
A polymeric composition consisting essentially of a polymeric binder of polyurethane, an electrically non-conductive carbonyl iron filler and an aromatic triazole selected from the group consisting of tolyltriazole and butyl benzyl triazole.
A polymeric composition consisting essentially of a polyurethane elastomer, present in an amount of from about 5 to 30 weight percent, an electrically non-conductive metallic filler selected from the group consisting of carbonyl iron, ferrites and mixtures thereof, present in an amount of from about 70 to 95 weight percent, and an aromatic triazole present in an amount of from about 0.5 to 10 weight percent.
A method of rendering a polymeric composition corrosion resistant, consisting essentially of the steps of:
- a) providing an electrically non-conductive carbonyl iron filler which comprises particles which each have an outer surface;
- b) contacting at least a portion of the outer surfaces of the particles with a aromatic triazole;
- and
- c) incorporating the treated filler particles in a polymeric matrix.
A method of claim 9 further comprising dissolving the triazole in a polar solvent prior to step b).
A method of producing a corrosion resistant polymeric composition consisting essentially of the steps of:
- a) providing a polymeric binder, an electrically non-conductive carbonyl iron filler and a aromatic triazole;
- and
- b) mixing the binder, filler and aromatic triazole to form a homogeneous composition.
