  • Patent number: 4708979
    Abstract: Spherically polymerized polyolefins can be advantageously stabilized by being treated with at least one emulsion or dispersion containing a stabilizer or a mixture of stabilizers and an amine of formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl which may be substituted by --OH, or is C.sub.3 -C.sub.50 alkyl which is interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms, or is C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkoxy, and each of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 independently of the other is hydrogen or has one of the meanings indicated for R.sub.1, or R.sub.2 and Rphd 3, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a 5- to 7-membered heterocyclic ring.
