Abstract
Excellent stabilization of polypropylene (PP) is obtained with a hindered amine containing a polysubstituted piperazin-2-one (PSP) moiety, for example, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 alkylene connecting two PSP moieties, or a polyalkylene polyamine having pendant substituted oxo-piperazinyltriazine moieties (PIP-T), that is, having pendant triazine rings substituted with PSP substituents. The stabilizers are particularly effective for PP irradiated with high energy gamma-radiation. Irradiated articles made from PP stabilized with such a hindered amine have improved strength and discoloration resistance, compared to articles made from polymer stabilized with several other hindered amines tested, particularly the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl sebacate.
