Abstract
Thermoplastic resin composition are provided that comprise a thermoplastic resin and an amount of antioxidant effective to increase the adhesion of paint to an article made from the composition. Also provided are methods to improve the paint adhesion of articles wherein the articles have been subjected to a temperature of at least about 330° F. for period of at least about 10 minutes. In a preferred embodiment, the antioxidant, also known as a stabilizer, or mixture of stabilizers is selected from the group consisting of the phenolic antioxidants, the 3-arylbenzofuranones, the hindered amine stabilizers, the ultraviolet light absorbers, the alkaline metal salts of fatty acids, the hydrotalcites, the epoxydized soybean oils, the hydroxylamines, the tertiary amine oxides, thermal reaction products of tertiary amine oxides, the thiosynergists, and mixture containing at least one of the foregoing.
