A solid stabilizer composition for organic polymers is formed by a solid, continuous phase and by a dispersed phase in said continuous phase, wherein the continuous phase is constituted by amorphous tetrakis-[3-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionyloxymethyl]-metha ne and the dispersed phase is constituted by an either amorphous or crystalline organic phosphite, in the form of particles with a particle size of from 10 .mu.m to 2 mm, with the weight ratio of said continuous phase to said dispersed phase being comprised within the range of from 9:1 to 1:9. The processes for preparing said solid stabilizer composition and its use in the stabilization of organic polymers are disclosed.

Solid stabilizer composition for organic polymers, and process for

Stabilizers for organic polymers, consisting of one or more phosphorus-containing compounds of the family of alkyl- and/or phenyl-phosphites, alkyl- and/or phenyl-phosphonites, alkyl- and/or phenyl-diphosphonites, are directly added to the reaction mixture during the (co)polymerization of .alpha.-olefins or of mixtures thereof with other unsaturated monomers. The so-obtained polymeric compositions result perfectly stabilized, and show a thermo-oxidative resistance higher than that of the same polymeric compositions to which the same antioxidants have been added by a traditional route.

Process of (co) polymerization of alpha-olefins in the presence of

Solid organic phosphites in powder form, used to endow organic polymers with stability characteristics are made resistant to hydrolysis by treating said powder phosphites with a silane containing in its molecule at least two alkoxy groups and causing the silane to hydrolyze, and the formation and deposition of a siliconic polymer on the surface of powder particles to occur.
