Abstract

Abstract Homopolymers and copolymers of 1-olefins are protected against the deleterious effects of oxygen, heat and ultraviolet light by incorporating therein an additive system comprising a hindered amine component and a metal phosphonate component, optionally, containing a phenolic antioxidant, an organic phosphite, a lubricant and pigments in an amount sufficient to prevent such deterioration.
