Abstract:
Thermoplastic resin compositions are heat stabilized by the addition of 0. 01 to 1. 0 percent by weight of an organo-phosphorus compound having one of the formulas
(R. sub. 1) (R. sub. 2) P (. dbd. X). sub. a -- P(. dbd. X). sub. a (R. sub. 1) (R. sub. 2) I
(p -- r. sub. 1). sub. n II
(r. sub. 1) (r. sub. 2) p (. dbd. x). sub. a -- P(R. sub. 3) -- P(. dbd. X). sub. a (R. sub. 1) (R. sub. 2) III
wherein a is independently 0 or 1, n is 3 to 6, X is oxygen or sulfur, R. sub. 1, R. sub. 2, and R. sub. 3 are independently dialkylamino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, or MO where M is an alkali metal, or R. sub. 1 and R. sub. 2 taken with the P atom represent a cyclic structure.
