Stabilized polyolefin substrate overcoated with an ethoxylated lubricant and a phosphate ester

Claim 1

Degradation resistant articles of manufacture prepared from (A) stabilized polymeric compositions comprising a major amount of a polymer of a mono-1-olefin having incorporated therein a small, but effective, stabilizing amount, sufficient to stabilize said composition against the deteriorative action of ultraviolet radiation, of (1) at least one hindered amine represented by the formula ##STR3## where R, R 1 , R 2 are the same or different, each being an alkyl group having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, R 3 is an alkyl group having from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 1 to 4, and (2) at least one metal phosphonate represented by the formula ##STR4## where R is as before, R 4 is hydrogen or alkyl having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, R 5 is an alkylene radical having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, R 6 is hydrogen or alkyl having from 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, M is a metal selected from among aluminum, barium, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, nickel, sodium, tin, and zinc, and m is an integer of 1, 2 or 3, and (B) overcoated with a finish composition comprising (a) at least one ethoxylated textile lubricant in an amount sufficient to impart lubricating properties to said composition, and (b) an antistatic agent comprising phosphate esters in an amount sufficient to impart antistatic properties to said composition and increase the stability of said articles.
