EXAMPLE 21
In each case, 2 g of one of the compounds indicated in Table 1 and 1 g of n-octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate (antioxidant) are intimately mixed with 1000 g of polypropylene of melt index 2.6 (Moplen T, a product of Societa Montedison, Italy) and 1 g of calcium stearate.
The mixture obtained is then extruded at a temperature of 200.degree.-230.degree. C. and is converted to granules from which tapes having a thickness of 50 .mu.m and a width of 2.5 mm are produced. The working conditions are:
temperature of the extruder: 230.degree.-240.degree. C.
temperature of the head: 240.degree. C.
stretch ratio: 1:6.
The tapes obtained are exposed in a Weather-Ometer 65 WR (ASTM G 27-70) with a black panel temperature of 63.degree. C. Samples are taken out periodically and the residual tensile strength of these is measured by means of a tensometer, at constant speed; the exposure time required to halve the initial tensile strength (T.sub.50) is then evaluated.
For comparison, a tape is prepared under the same conditions, 2 g of 2-hydroxy-4-n-octyloxybenzophenone being added as a light stabiliser.
The results obtained are shown in Table 1.
EXAMPLE 22
2 g of each of the compounds listed in Table 2 were mixed thoroughly with 1000 g of a high density polyethylene of melt index 0.40 (Hostalen GF 7660, Hoechst AG, BRD), 0.5 g of n-octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate (as antioxidant) and 1 g of calcium stearate.
The mixture obtained was then extruded at a temperature of 190.degree. C. and cut into granules, from which plates of 0.2 mm thickness were obtained by compression moulding at 200.degree. C. The plates were exposed in a Weather-Ometer 65 WR with a black panel temperature of 63.degree. C. and the increase in the content of carbonyl groups (.DELTA.CO) was checked periodically, using non-exposed samples for compensating the initial absorption of the polymer. The exposition time (T 0.1) necessary for .DELTA.CO=0.1% (at a wavelength of 5.85 .mu.m) is calculated.
For comparison samples were prepared under the same conditions
(a) without addition of a light stabiliser
