  • Patent number: 5789470
    Abstract: The invention relates to stabilized recycled plastics, which can be obtained from domestic, commercial and industrial waste or valuable material collections, comprising a macrocyclic compounds containing a radical of formula (I) or (II), in the macrocycle or in a side group of the macrocycle, where the macrocycle comprises at least 8 atoms and in which the substituents R, independently of one another, are methyl, ethyl or propyl, or two radicals R on the same carbon atom are, together, a pentamethylene radical, and a is the number 0, 1 or 2. The invention also relates to a process for the stabilization of recycled plastics and to the use of the above macrocyclic compounds as stabilizer.
