  • Publication number: 20220212375
    Abstract: A stabilizer composition for producing a polymeric hollow article in a rotomolding process has stabilizing amounts of: (i) at least one chroman-based compound according to Formula (V): wherein at least one instance of R21 is OR27, R27 is COR?? or Si(R28)3, and R??, R22, R23 R24, R25 and R26 are as defined herein; (ii) at least one phosphite or phosphonite; and (iii) a basic co-additive selected from alkali metal or alkaline metal salts of higher fatty acids. A polymeric hollow article is made by a process comprising: a) filling a mold with a polyolefin and a stabilizing amount of the stabilizer composition described herewith; b) rotating the mold around at least one axis while heating the mold in an oven, thereby fusing the composition and spreading it to the walls of the mold; c) cooling the mold; and d) opening the mold to remove the resulting polymeric hollow article.

  • Publication number: 20220153959
    Abstract: Polyolefin compositions of a polyolefin, a chroman-based compound according to Formula (V): and a basic co-additive selected from alkali metal or alkaline metal salts of higher fatty acids are disclosed. Amounts of the chroman-based compound and the basic co-additive are selected to enhance processing stability of the polyolefin composition when subjected to extrusion, even in the absence of antistatic agents and organic phosphites and phosphonites. Masterbatch compositions of a first polyolefin, the chroman-based compound and the basic co-additive can be blended with a second polyolefin, identical to, or compatible with, the first polyolefin to form a stabilized polyolefin composition. Molded articles produced by molding the polyolefin compositions are also disclosed. R21, R22, R23, R24, R25, R26, and R27 are also described.
