A stabilized composition includes candle wax; an ultraviolet light absorber; and a hindered amine light stabilizer of formula (I). The compositions stabilize the candle with respect to yellowing, color fading in the case of dyed or pigmented candles, and other degradation of the waxes. The materials and compositions may be used in a wide variety of a candle waxes including, but not limited to, paraffin, beeswax, natural oils, polyamide plus fatty acids and esters thereof, fatty acids such as stearin, opacifiers, glycerides plus oxidized wax, alcohols, and ethylene oligomers.

Candle wax compositions stabilized with UV absorbers and select hindered amine light stabilizers

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic parts are advantageously coated with powder coating formulations comprising certain red-shifted hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole ultraviolet light absorbers (UVAs). The benzotriazole UVAs are of formulae (I) or (II) The coated carbon fiber reinforced plastic parts are suitable in aerospace applications, automotive parts and sporting goods.
