The cycle time of polymer compositions subjected to a rotomolding process is improved (i.e., reduced), while the processing window is simultaneously enlarged through the use of a polymer-stabilizing amount of a processing stabilizer system having at least one chroman-based compound according to Formula V: 

Processing additives and uses of same in rotational molding

Stabilizer compositions having a chroman-based compound according to Formula (V): and their use in processes for stabilizing organic materials subject to degradation and/or discoloration due to the effects from light, oxygen and heat, and in processes for producing articles from organic materials blended therewith, are provided herein.

Stabilizer compositions containing substituted chroman compounds and methods of use

The present invention relates to a process for improving the shelf life of a hindered phenol antioxidant comprising the step of intimately mixing the hindered phenol antioxidant with a sulfur-containing peroxide decomposer. The inventors have discovered that mixing the peroxide decomposer with the hindered phenol antioxidant reduces the tendency of hindered phenols to yellow with age. This increases the desirability of the hindered phenol because it will not impart color to polymer systems. The present invention also relates to a composition produced from the process described above, and stabilized compositions and additive packages containing the composition produced from the above-described process.

Process for improving the shelf life of a hindered phenol antioxidant

A polymeric article, such as an extruded or molded article or a biaxially oriented tape or film, and a method of stabilizing such a polymeric article to protect the article from degradation due to exposure to UV light. The article is formed by blending a polymeric material with from about 50 to about 5,000 ppm of at least one ortho hydroxy tris-aryl triazine light absorber and from about 500 ppm to about 1.25 percent of at least one oligomeric, polymeric, or high molecular weight HALS having a molecular weight of at least about 500, wherein the weight ratio of HALS to triazine light absorber is from about 3:1 to about 20:1, to form a stabilized polymeric composition, and forming an extruded or molded article or a biaxially oriented tape or film from the stabilized polymeric composition.

Methods and compositions for protecting polymers from UV light

A polysiloxane having at least one chromanol moiety and its use as an antioxidant stabilizer in a polyolefin composition.
