100 parts of polypropylene powder (melt flow index: 3.2 g/10 min at 230° C. and 2160 g) are blended in a barrel mixer with 0.05 parts of pentaerythrityl tetrakis[3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate], 0.05 parts of tris[2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl]phosphite and the stabilizer system indicated in Table 1. Then, the blend is compounded in an extruder at temperatures of 180°-220° C. The granules obtained on extrusion and granulation are transformed into films at 220″-260° C. in a second extruder equipped with a flat sheet die. The films are cut into ribbons which are drawn to achieve a stretch ratio of 1:6. The tapes obtained with this procedure are finally 50 μm thick and 2.5 mm wide.
The tapes are mounted without tension on sample holders and exposed to natural weathering in Florida (450 South, direct, approximately 145 kLy/year). Periodically, the tensile strength of the exposed tapes is measured. The received energy (in kLy) corresponding to a loss of 50% (E50) of the initial tensile strength or the % retained tensile strength after 320 kLy is a measure for the stabilizing efficiency of the stabilizer system. The values obtained are summarized in Table 1.
100 parts of unstabilized polypropylene powder (melt flow index: 3.8 g/10 min at 230° C. and 2160 g) are homogenized at 200° C. for 10 min in a Brabender plastograph with 0.05 parts of pentaerythrityl-tetrakis{3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate}, 0.10 parts of tris{2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl}phosphite and the stabilizer system indicated in Tables 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d. The material thus obtained is compression molded in a laboratory press between two aluminum foils for 6 min at 260° C. to a 0.5 mm thick film which is cooled immediately to room temperature in a water-cooled press. Samples of 60 mm×25 mm are cut out of these 0.5 mm films and are exposed in a WEATHER-OMETER Ci 65 (black panel temperature 63±2° C., without water-spraying).
Periodically, these samples are removed from the exposure apparatus and their carbonyl content is measured with an infrared spectrophotometer. The exposure time corresponding to formation of a carbonyl absorbance of 0.1 in hours (T0.1) is a measure for the efficiency of the stabilizer system. The values obtained are summarized in Tables 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d.
100 parts of unstabilized copolypropylene powder (melt flow index: 6 g/10 min at 230° C. and 2160 g; 10% ethylene monomer) are homogenized at 200° C. for 10 min in a Brabender plastograph with 0.05 parts of pentaerythrityl-tetrakis{3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate}, 0.10 parts of tris{2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl}phosphite and the stabilizer system indicated in Table 3. The material thus obtained is compression molded in a laboratory press between two aluminum foils for 6 min at 260° C. to a 0.5 mm thick film which is cooled immediately to room temperature in a water-cooled press. Samples of 60 mm×25 mm are cut out of these 0.5 mm films and are exposed in a WEATHER-OMETER Ci 65 (black panel temperature 63±2° C., without water-spraying).
Periodically, these samples are removed from the exposure apparatus and their carbonyl content is measured with an infrared spectrophotometer. The exposure time corresponding to formation of a carbonyl absorbance of 0.1 is a measure for the efficiency of the stabilizer system. The values obtained are summarized in Table 3.

The material thus obtained is compression molded in a laboratory press between two aluminum foils for 6 min at 210° C. to a 0.5 mm thick film which is cooled immediately to room temperature in a water-cooled press. Samples of 60 mm×25 mm are cut out of these 0.5 mm films and are exposed in a WEATHER-OMETER Ci 65 (black panel temperature 63±2° C., without water-spraying).
Periodically, these samples are removed from the exposure apparatus and their carbonyl content is measured with an infrared spectrophotometer. The exposure time corresponding to formation of a carbonyl absorbance of 0.1 is a measure for the efficiency of the stabilizer mixture. The values obtained are summarized in Table 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h and 4i.
