s-Triazine UV absorbers substituted by a benzotriazolyl or benzophenonyl moiety exhibit unexpectedly improved UV absorption characteristics and outstanding efficacy in protecting organic substances from the deleterious effects of actinic radiation as well as good resistance to loss by volatilization during processing of stabilized compositions at elevated temperatures.

Hybrid s-triazine light stabilizers substituted by benzotriazole or

An improvement in barrier properties of films and molded articles containing an organic polymer is achieved by incorporation therein of fluorochemicals, fluoropolymers or mixtures thereof, wherein said fluorochemicals or fluoropolymers contain greater than 40% fluorine by weight and exhibit less than 20% weight loss at 165.degree. C., as measured by thermogravimetric analysis at 20.degree. C. per minute in air. The films and molded articles in accordance with the present invention exhibit improved vapor and chemical barrier properties.

2-(Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-alkyl-6-(2-hydroxy-3-benzoyl-6-alkoxybenzyl)phenols are prepared by reacting a Mannich base of a 2-(2-hydroxy-5-alkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole with a 2-hydroxy-4-alkoxybenzophenone. The hybrid products exhibit outstanding efficacy in protecting organic substrates from light-induced deterioration as well as good resistance to loss by volatilization or exudation during the processing of stabilized compositions at elevated temperatures.

2-(Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-alkyl-6-(2-hydroxy-3-benzoyl-6-alkoxybenzyl)phenols am prepared by reacting a Mannich base of a 2-(2-hydroxy-5-alkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole with a 2-hydroxy-4-alkoxybenzophenone. The hybrid products exhibit outstanding efficacy in protecting organic substrates from light-induced deterioration as well as good resistance to loss by volatilization or exudation during the processing of stabilized compositions at elevated temperatures.

2-(benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-alkyl-6-(2-hydroxy-3-benzoyl-6-alko

2-(2-Hydroxy-3-perfluoroalkylthiomethyl-5-alkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazoles are prepared by reacting the Mannich base hydrohalide or quaternary salt of a 2-(2-hydroxy-5-alkylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole with a perfluoroalkyl mercaptan. The products exhibit outstanding efficacy in protecting organic substrates from light induced deterioration as well as good resistance to loss by volatilization or exudation during the processing of stabilized compositions at elevated temperatures.
