Abstract: Stabilized thermoplastic polymer, especially polyolefin compositions comprising a flame retardant selected from b1) melamin based flame retardants, or one of the compounds b2) bis-(hexachlorocyclopentadieno)cyclooctane, b3) tris-(2,3-dibromopropyl)-isocyanurate, b4) ethylene-bis-tetrabromophthalimide; b5) 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromo-cyclo-dodecan, b6) ethane-1,2-bis(pentabromophenyl); and c) a sterically hindered amine light stabilizer of the hydrocarbyloxyamine or hydroxyhydrocarbyloxyamine class and optional further components combine optimum outdoor weathering stability and good flame retardant properties.

Abstract: Organic polymeric substrates, for example polyolefins such as polypropylene, can be made flame retardant by the incorporation of a synergistic mixture of (i) at least one sterically hindered alkoxyamine stabilizer and (ii) at least one conventional flame retardant selected from the group consisting of the melamine based flame retardants. The compositions of the invention combine good flame retardant properties with light stability and good mechanical properties. Polyolefin molded articles are stabilized against light, heat and oxygen and made flame retardant with the incorporation of at least one sterically hindered alkoxyamine and at least one conventional flame retardant, while allowing normally high levels of flame-retardant fillers to be greatly reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: Organic materials which possess outstanding stability to oxidative, thermal or light-induced degradation comprise as stabilizers at least one compound of the benzofuran-2-one type and at least one compound of the sterically hindered amine type.

Abstract: Described are compositions comprising (a) 25 to 99% of organic phosphite or phosphonite, based on the total weight of the composition, (b) an effective stabilizing amount of organic amine, and (c) an effective stabilizing amount of acid-binding metal salt, wherein said composition comprises no organic polymers or alkali metal phosphates as further components, as well as a process for stabilising organic phosphites or phosphonites against hydrolysis by addition of organic amine and acid-binding metal salt. The compositions are distinguished by their excellent stability to hydrolysis and have good storage stability even at high atmospheric humidity. The novel compositions and process products can be used with advantage as stabilisers for organic material against the harmful action of heat, oxygen and/or light.
