Abstract: Oligomers of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinol polycarboxylic acid esters are provided having the formula: ##STR1## wherein: Z is the residue of an aliphatic or aromatic or nitriloaliphatic or hydroxy aliphatic polycarboxylic acid having from three to six carboxylic acid groups and from one to thirty carbon atoms; ##STR2## wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen, alkyl and hydroxyalkyl having from one to about twenty carbon atoms; cycloalkyl having from six to about twenty carbon atoms; aryl having from six to about twenty carbon atoms; or cycloalkylene with the N in the ring and having from two to five carbon atoms;R is alkylene having from two to about twelve carbon atoms; cycloalkylene having from three to about twelve carbon atoms; phenylene having from six to about twenty carbon atoms; mixed alkylenecycloalkylene or alkylene phenylene or oxyalkylene having from two to about twelve carbon atoms; ##STR3## wherein R.sub.4 is alkyl having from one to about six carbon atoms;R.sub.

Abstract: A water dispersible hot melt size for sizing yarn is disclosed. The hot melt size comprises a combination of an alkenyl succinic anhydride, a non-blocking agent, a tackifying resin, a water-soluble polymer, and an ethylene-acidic monomer copolymer. The hot melt size may optionally contain a carboxylic acid and an antioxidant.

Abstract: A stabilizing composition consisting of substituted alpha- or beta-naphthindoles, benzoylated or not benzoylated, and combined with organic polyimines such as those of formula 1 of the formulae sheet, in which R is alkyl or dialkyl, ethoxylated alkylmercaptans with 2.varies.8 ethoxy groups and (metal) halides of barium, calcium, lithium, zinc or aluminum, have a strong thermostabilizing effect on chlorine containing thermoplastics, especially on polyvinyl chloride, both homo-M and S polymers thereof, and on polyvinylidene chloride.
