description

Abstract Low density/linear low density polyethylene blends show a rate of degradation of the mechanical properties during photo-oxidation which increases with the content of the linear polymer. The use of a sterically hindered amine as UV stabilizer greatly improves the resistance of these blends to UV irradiation. The effectiveness of the stabilizer increases with the content of linear low density polyethylene.
