Stabilized olefin polymer compositions

Claim 1

A COMPOSITION OF MATTER COMPRISING A NORMALLY SOLID POLYMER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NORMALLY SOLID POLYMERS OF STRAIGHT CHAIN MONO-OLEFINIC HYDROCARBON MONOMERS HAVING FROM TWO TO FOUR CARBON ATOMS AND NORMALLY SOLID COPOLYMERS OF STRAIGHT CHAIN MONO-OLEFINIC HYDROCARBON MONOMERS HAVING FROM TWO TO FOUR CARBON ATOMS WITH A MINOR PROPORTION NOT TO EXCEED 15% BY WEIGHT OF THE OLEFIN OF A MONO-ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED COMONOMER AND A STABILIZING AMOUNT OF A 2BENZOTHIAZOLESULFENAMIDE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF (1) 2-BENZOTHIAZOLESULFENAMIDES IN WHICH ONE AMIDE NITROGEN VALENCE IS SATISFIED BY A RADICAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF HYDROGEN AND LOWER ALKYL RADICALS, AND THE OTHER NITROGEN VALENCE IS SATISFIED BY A RADICAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF CYCLOHEXYL, LOWER ALKYL SUBSTITUTED CYCLOHEXYL, BENZYL, LOWER ALKYL SUBSTITUTED BENZYL, AND BRANCH CHAIN ALKY RADICALS HAVING UP TO EIGHT CARBON ATOMS; (2) 2-BENZOTHIAZOLESULFENAMIDES IN WHICH DIVALENT RADICALS FORM WITH THE AMIDE NITROGEN A SIX-MEMBERED HETEROCYCLIC RING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF PIPERIDYL, PYRIDYL AND MORPHOLINYL, AND (3) 2-BENZOTHIAZOLESULFENAMIDES IN WHICH DIVALENT RADICALS FORM A SIX-MEMBERED HETEROCYCLIC RING DIVALENT RADICALS GROUP CONSISTING OF PIPERIDYL, PYRIDYL AND MORPHOLINYL, WHICH HETEROCYCLIC RING IS FURTHER SUBSTITUTED BY AT LEAST ONE LOWER ALKYL RADICAL.
