SYNERGISTIC STABILIZER COMPOSITIONS FOR THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS IN PROLONGED CONTACT WITH WATER

摘要

The invention relates to synergistic stabilizer compositions comprising Hindered Amine Stabilizers (HAS), phenolic antioxidants, and, if appropriate, UV-absorbers, for thermoplastic polymers, especially for polyolefin pipes and other polyolefin molding materials, which are in prolonged contact with water. These mixtures show superior long term performance as measured by standard test methods such as oxidation induction time (OIT).
