Fatty amine derivatives of butylated hydroxy toluene for the protection of surfaces from physical and chemical degradation

摘要

The present invention relates to non-surface staining, light stable antioxidant compounds which reduce the fading, decoloration and degradation of various surfaces, ie., fabrics, from sunlight. These antioxidant compounds are butylated hydroxytoluene and sorbic acid derivatives, containing at least one C8-C22 hydrocarbon fatty amine organic moiety and are either solid materials having a melting point of less than about 80 DEG Celsius, or are liquids at a temperature of less than about 40 DEG Celsius.
