OUTDOOR FILMS STABILIZED AGAINST DEGRADATIVE EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS

摘要

A new and improved environmental chemicals resistant light stabilizer package for thermoplastic substrates is disclosed. The stabilizer package comprises a specific oligomeric hindered amine light stabilizer with an ultra-­violet absorber in specified weight ratios. The stabilizer package is useful for stabilizing thermoplastic shaped arti­cles intended for outdoor use in areas where environmental chemicals such as agricultural chemicals, pool chemicals and the like are employed. In a preferred embodiment, a new and improved substantially colorless, light stable greenhouse film is provided which exhibits good weatherability and retention of physical properties even after repeated expo­sure to, for example, pesticides, herbicides and the like.
