Disclosed are stabilized lubricating oil compositions with improved oxidative performance. These lubricating oil compositions contain certain phenolic antioxidants, in combination with other antioxidants, which contribute to the improved performance. These certain phenolic antioxidants are defined in formula (I), wherein,

Lubricating oil compositions with improved performance

The present invention discloses a process for stabilizing polyolefin compositions against the deleterious effects of melt processing, heat aging and exposure to combustion products of natural gas, which process comprises incorporating or applying to a polyolefin an effective stabilizing amount of a tris-(mono-alkyl)phenyl phosphite ester of the formula I, or a mixture of phosphite esters of formula I, where each R is the same or different and is straight or branched chain alkyl of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and where said phosphite ester or phosphite ester mixture is in the liquid state at 25&#xb0; C. and 1 atm of pressure. Also disclosed is a stabilized composition comprising polyolefin and a present phosphite ester or phosphite ester mixture as well as certain mixtures of tris-(mono-alkyl)phenyl phosphite. The present liquid phosphite ester stabilizers are especially compatible with low density polyethylene.

Stabilization of polyolefins with liquid tris-(mono-alkyl)phenyl phosphites

The present invention relates to a novel photoinitiator system comprising one or more acylphosphine oxide photoinitiators and one or more lightfast red, blue or violet organic pigments. Low yellow color formation results upon curing ethylenically unsaturated compounds with the new photoinitiator system. Particular applications include clear and white coatings, screen inks, gel coats, powder coatings, composites, adhesives and lenses.

Phosphine oxide photoinitiator systems and curable compositions with low color

White, dyed, dipped, unscented and/or scented candle wax is effectively stabilized against discoloration and fading by the incorporation therein of a red-shifted benzotriazole either alone or in combination with a hindered amine and/or an antioxidant.

Candle wax stabilized with red-shift benzotriazoles

Candle wax containing a combination of a UV absorber, preferably a benzotriazole, in combination with a hindered amine which is substituted on the N-atom by an alkoxy, a cycloalkoxy or an hydroxy-substituted alkoxy moiety is surprising better stabilized than candle wax which contains a combination of a UV absorber and a conventional hindered amine where the N-atom is substituted by hydrogen or alkyl.
