New Benzotriozole Phthalocyanine Nickel(II) Photostabilizer for Low Density Polyethylene

Abstract

Benzotiozole Phthalocyanine Nickel(II) has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR techniques. This new compound imposes three bathways to stablize low density polyethylene (LDPE) due to nature of its complex structure.The prepared complex contains four benzotrizoles which absorb U.V. light while Nickel(II) derivative destroye hydrogen peroxides and scavenge free radicals. The experimental investigation carried out on Benzotriozole phthalocyanine Nickel(II) shows that this complex has excellent photostabilizer for LDPE compared with commercial antioxidants.
