Compounds which have a benzotriazole and a hindered amine moiety in the
same molecule are typified by the formula A ##STR00001## wherein at
least one of G.sub.2, R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 contains a hindered amine moiety
are extremely effective light stabilizers having both the UV absorbing
activity of a benzotriazole and the light stabilizing efficacy of a
hindered amine in the same molecule. These compounds are effective
stabilizers for thermoset resin compositions, thermoplastic resin
compositions, for photographic applications, for pigmented or dyed
polypropylene, polyamide or polyester fibers, and for white, dyed,
dipped, unscented and/or scented candle wax against discoloration and
fading when incorporated therein alone or in combination with an
antioxidant.
