Abstract
The present invention relates to an integrated additive composition which contains anti-blocking agents and at least one organic component and is characterized in that the organic component(s) is (are) localized in a concentration of 5 to 65 wt.-%, relative to the total weight of the composition, in the pores of the anti-blocking agent, the volume of the organic component(s) not being greater, however, than the pore volume of the anti-blocking agent. The invention also describes processes for the preparation of this integrated additive composition and its use in polyolefin films and in injection molding.

Integrated additive composition which contains anti-blocking agent and at least one organic component, characterized in that organic component is localized in a concentration of 5 to 65 wt.-%, relative to the total weight of the composition, in the pores of the anti-blocking agent, the volume of the organic component not being greater than the pore volume of the anti-blocking agent, and the organic component comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of (1) slip agents from the group of fatty acid amides, (2) primary antioxidants from the group of phosphorus compounds, thioesters and hydroxylamines, (3) secondary antioxidants from the group of ammonium salts, glycerol esters and anion-active substances, (4) light stabilizers from the group of benzophenones, benzotriazoles and sterically hindered amine light stabilizer, (5) flame-protection agents and synergistic substances from the group of halogenated organic molecules and metal hydrates, (6) plasticizers from the group of phthalates, (7) process auxiliaries from glycerol and/or the group of alcohol esters, wax amides, fatty acids, metal stearates, natural waxes and polyethylene and polypropylene waxes and (8) additives from the group of antimicrobial agents, propellants, organic peroxides, fillers and stabilizers.
Process for preparing integrated additive composition comprising
- (a) selecting a porous anti-blocking agent,
- (b) selecting at least one organic component of the group consisting of (1) slip agents from the group of fatty acid amides, (2) primary antioxidants from the group of phosphorus compounds, thioesters and hydroxylamines, (3) secondary anti-oxidants from the group of ammonium salts, glycerol esters and anion-active substances, (4) light stabilizers from the group of benzophenones, benzotriazoles and sterically hindered amine light stabilizers, (5) flame-protection agents and synergistic substances from the group of the halogenated organic molecules and metal hydrates, (6) plasticizers from the group of phthalates, (7) process auxiliaries, from glycerol and/or the group of alcohol esters, wax amides, fatty acids, metal stearates, natural waxes and polyethylene and polypropylene waxes and (8) additives from the group of antimicrobial agents, propellants, organic peroxides, fillers and stabilizers, the volume of (b) not greater than the pore volume of the antiblocking agent and the weight of (b) in the range of about 5 to 65% relative to the total weight of additive composition,
- (c) mixing the antiblocking agent of (a) and organic component of (b),
- (d) separately or concurrently with (c), heating the mixture from (c) to a temperature higher than the melting point of the organic component, and
- (e) cooling the heated mixture of (d) to recover integrated additive composition comprising about 5 to 65% by weight organic component relative to the total weight of the composition and the organic component is located in the pores of the antiblock agent.
