Abstract
Irradiation-sterilizable medical articles molded from a propylene polymer composition in which stabilizers are incorporated. Said composition comprises from 0.01 to 0.4 part by weight of each of a specific hindered amine and a specific phenol or its phosphite ester compound incorporated per 100 parts by weight of a propylene polymer with a weight-average molecular-weight to number-average molecular-weight ratio of 5 or below. The above-mentioned composition may additionally contain a sorbitol derivative as the nucleating agent. Medical articles produced from said composition by molding, for example, syringes are suitable for irradiation sterilization. Said medical articles when irradiated undergo little reduction in quality of the material and are accompanied by little bleeding or degradation of the incorporated stabilizers and nucleating agent.
