EXAMPLE 1
Light Stabilization of Polypropylene Homopolymer Films
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}, 0.05 parts of tris{2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl} phosphite, 0.1 parts of Ca stearate, 0.25 parts of titanium dioxide (Anatase) and the stabilizer mixture indicated in Table 1. 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 mixture. The values obtained are summarized in Table 1.

EXAMPLE 4
Light Stabilization of Polypropylene Homopolymer Films
100 parts of unstabilized polypropylene powder (melt flow index: 3.8 g/10 minutes at 230° C. and 2160 g) are homogenized at 200° C. for 10 minutes in a Brabender plastograph 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, 0.1 parts of Ca stearate, 0.25 parts of titanium dioxide (anatase) and the light stabilizer system indicated in Tables 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D. The material thus obtained is compression molded in a laboratory press between two aluminum foils for 6 minutes 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 (T0.1) corresponding to the formation of a carbonyl absorbance of 0.1 is a measure for the efficiency of the light stabilizer system. The values obtained are summarized in the following Tables 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D.

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 mixture.
