Abstract
Light-stabilized polymer microparticles, which contain at least one light stabilizer, and processes for the preparation of these microparticles by polymerization of suitable monomers, at least a part of the polymerization being carried out in the presence of at least one light stabilizer, are described. The polymer microparticles can be used in coating compositions which comprise a disperse phase containing these particles and a liquid continuous phase. Coatings and finishes based on the compositions according to the invention are distinguished by improved weathering resistance, in particular by a high light stability.
Claims9
Light-stabilized polymer microparticles having a cross-linked core and a particle size distribution of 0.01-20 .mu.m, resulting from the polymerization of one or several different monomers selected from the group consisting of polyalcohols, polycarboxylic acids, hydroxycarboxylic acids, lactones, aminocarboxylic acids, aminoalcohols and polyamines, which microparticles contain 0.1 to 30% by weight, relative to the monomers, of at least one light stabilizer and wherein the polymerization is carried out in the presence of 0.1 to 30% by weight, relative to the monomers, of at least one light stabilizer and the latter being present in the polymer microparticles;
- said light stabilizer being a 2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidine derivative which contains in its molecule at least one group of the formula I ##STR48## in which R is hydrogen or methyl, a UV absorber or mixtures thereof.
