Abstract
A description is given of a process for stabilising an organic polymer against ozone in the ambient air, which comprises adding to the polymer as stabiliser a monomeric sterically hindered piperidine compound, or an oligomeric or polymeric sterically hindered piperidine compound containing one or several triazine units, or a secondary sterically hindered piperidine compound, the piperidine compound containing in any case at least one unit of formula I ##STR1## wherein G is hydrogen or methyl, and G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 are hydrogen, methyl or, taken together, oxygen. With this process it is possible to make a more accurate prediction of the service time of the polymer and it helps to avoid unnecessarily high dosages of the stabiliser.
