Abstract: The invention is directed to stabilizer compositions comprising at least one oxalanilide UV absorber and/or at least one (2-hydroxyphenyl)-s-triazine UV absorber, and at least one oligomeric hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), optionally further comprising at least one phenolic antioxidant, at least one liquid diluent and/or further components. Said stabilizer compositions are preferably used in sealants or adhesives based on silyl-modified polymers (SMP). The invention also deals with a polymer composition based on silyl-modified polymers (SMP) comprising the new stabilizer combination of oxalanilide UV absorber and/or (2-hydroxyphenyl)-s-triazine UV absorber, and oligomeric hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), optionally further comprising phenolic antioxidant and liquid diluent and/or further components.

Abstract: This invention is a method for incorporating additives into a polymeric materials such as coatings and plastics, which comprises treating the polymeric material with light prior to applying a removable coating of a composition comprising the additives to the surface of the polymeric material and allowing the coating to remain in contact with the polymeric material for a time sufficient to allow the additives to diffuse into the polymeric material.

Abstract: Color fast thermoplastic polyurethane compositions comprising a combination of an ultraviolet light absorber and a compound containing at least one nitroxyl moiety and a method for maintaining the color fastness of thermoplastic polyurethane compositions by incorporating said ultraviolet light absorber and nitroxyl containing compound into a thermoplastic polyurethane composition are provided.

Abstract: This invention is a method for incorporating light stabilizers into a polymeric material such as coatings, paints and plastics, which comprises the steps of applying a coating of a composition comprising a light stabilizer on the polymeric material and allowing the coating to remain in contact with the polymeric material for a time sufficient to cause the light stabilizer to diffuse into the polymeric material. No active heating of the polymeric substrate is required. Ambient conditions encountered in natural outdoor weathering will suffice to allow diffusion of stabilizers. Other additives affecting the aging or performance of the polymeric material can also be incorporated by this method.
