Polyolefin compositions comprising a particular hindered phenolic
antioxidant selected from the group consisting of
tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)isocyanurate, 1,3,5-tris-(3,5-di
-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene and the calcium salt
of the monoethyl ester of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylphosphonic
acid, an oligomeric sterically hindered amine light stabilizer, a
hydroxylamine stabilizer or trialkylamine N-oxide stabilizer, and,
optionally, an organic phosphorus stabilizer, are effectively stabilized
against degradation upon melt processing, long term heat aging, and
exposure to combustion products of natural gas.
