Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
An ultraviolet light stabilized pigmented polymeric composition comprising (1) a polymeric composition normally susceptible to degradation due to visible or ultraviolet light selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and polypropylene containing graft reacted acrylic acid, (2) titanium dioxide and (3) as the ultraviolet stabilizer about 0.01 to 5 weight percent of a zinc salt of a compound having the formula ##SPC2## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and X + 2 is Zn + 2 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
An ultraviolet light stabilized pigmented polymeric composition comprising (1) a polymeric composition normally susceptible to degradation due to visible or ultraviolet light selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and polypropylene containing graft reacted acrylic acid, (2) titanium dioxide and (3) as the ultraviolet stabilizer about 0.01 to 5 weight percent of a zinc salt of a compound having the formula ##SPC2## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different and each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; and X + 2 is Zn + 2 .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
An ultraviolet light stabilized pigmented composition of claim 1 wherein the polyolefin is polypropylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An ultraviolet light stabilized pigmented composition of claim 1 wherein the polyolefin is a polypropylene containing graft reacted acrylic acid.
