High molecular weight stabilizer compounds for stabilizing polymers

摘要

A high molecular weight stabilizer compound formed as an ester of 3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-benzene-propanoic acid, or structural variants thereof, to impart improved resistance to the effects of ultraviolet radiation to polycarbonate comprising polymers, a process for the preparation of said compound, and articles of manufacture comprising said compound.
