APPLICATIONS
|
| Phosphorous acid
is a clear to yellowish crystalline
solid with a garlic like odour melting
at 73 C, decomposes at 200 C. It
is very soluble in water and in
alcohol. This compound contains
one direct P-H bond (which is not
very acidic) and only two hydrogens
bonded to oxygen (which are acidic).
The structure of this material is
more correctly written (HO)2HPO.
For this reason, this dibasic acid
forms two series of salts, one containing
the dihydrogen phosphite ion, H2PO3
- , and the other containing
the hydrogen phosphite ion, HPO32-. It is prepared by hydrolysis of phosphorus trichloride (or tetraphosphorus
hexaoxide) with alcohols or phenols. Phosphorous acid esters are called
phosphite with the formula (RO)3P. Phosphorous acid and phosphite are used as
reducing agents in chemical industry because of easy oxidation property to
phosphoric acid. They are used as antioxidant, stabilizer and chelating agent in
plastic system. They are used as solvent in paint and as flame retardant on
fibres. They are used as a chemical intermediate in the production of
pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticides, optical brighteners and in lubricant
additives and adhesives. Tris(nonylphenyl)
Phosphite is used as a heat
stabilizer for polymers especially for unvulcanized
rubbers and polyvinylchloride. It is a phenolic
antioxidant maintain the performance integrity,
color stability and processing stability of ABS,
polycarbonate, polyolefins and vulcanized rubber. |

| GENERAL
DESCRIPTION OF ANTIOXIDANT |
|
Antioxidant is a substance added in small quantities to hydrocarbons which are
susceptible to oxidation, such as rubbers, plastics, foods, and oils to inhibit
or slow oxidative processes, while being itself oxidized. Antioxidants work in
two different ways. In primary antioxidants (also called free-radical
scavengers), antioxidative activity is implemented by the donation of an
electron or hydrogen atom to a radical derivative. These antioxidants are
usually hindered amines (p-Phenylene diamine, trimethyl dihydroquinolines,
alkylated diphenyl amines) or substituted phenolic compounds with one or more
bulky functional groups such as a tertiary butyl at 2,6 position commonly.
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a common example of hindered phenolic
antioxidant. The reaction rate, or carbocation stability, in SN1 mechanism is 3° > 2° > 1° > CH3
(no SN1) so, tertiary alkyl moiety exists in lots of phenolic antioxidant
compounds. Primary antioxidants are free radical scavengers which combine with
peroxy radicals and break autocatalytic cycle. In secondary antioxidants ( also
called peroxide decomposers), activity is implemented by the removal of an
oxidative catalyst and the consequent prevention of the initiation of oxidation.
Examples of peroxide decomposer type of antioxidant are trivalent phosphorous
and divalent sulfurcontaining compound such as sulfides, thiodipropionates and
organophosphites. Synergistic effect is expected when primary antioxidants are
used together with secondary antioxidants as primary antioxidants are not very
effective against the degradation by UV oxidation. Sometimes, chelating agents
are added to scavenge metal impurities which can initiate decomposition. |
