Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for stabilizing nitrile resins against thermal discoloration by the inclusion of acrylamide in amounts of from 0.1 to 1.5 parts by weight per 100 parts of resin.
Abstract:
A polymer composition containing a high proportionate amount of olefinic nitrile is stabilized against thermal discoloration by inclusion therein from about 0.05 to 2 parts by weight per hundred parts of resin of an organotin maleate compound selected from the group consisting of the hydrocarbon tin maleates and the hydrocarbon tin-bis-maleate half esters.
