Polyolefins, i.e. the polymers of monoolefins exemplified in the preceding paragraph, preferably polyethylene and polypropylene, can be prepared by different, and especially by the following, methods:
a) radical polymerisation (normally under high pressure and at elevated temperature). b) catalytic polymerisation using a catalyst that normally contains one or more than one metal of groups IVb, Vb, VIb or VIII of the Periodic Table. These metals usually have one or more than one ligand, typically oxides, halides, alcoholates, esters, ethers, amines, alkyls, alkenyls and/or aryls that may be either π- or σ-coordinated. These metal complexes may be in the free form or fixed on substrates, typically on activated magnesium chloride, titanium(III) chloride, alumina or silicon oxide. These catalysts may be soluble or insoluble in the polymerisation medium. The catalysts can be used by themselves in the polymerisation or further activators may be used, typically metal alkyls, metal hydrides, metal alkyl halides, metal alkyl oxides or metal alkyloxanes, said metals being elements of groups Ia, IIa and/or IIIa of the Periodic Table. The activators may be modified conveniently with further ester, ether, amine or silyl ether groups.

Example I
Light Stabilization of Polypropylene Tapes
100 parts of polypropylene powder (melt flow index: 3.2 g/10 min at 230° C. and 2160 g) are blended in a barrel mixer 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 and the stabilizer system indicated in Table 1. Then, the blend is compounded in an extruder at temperatures of 180°-220° C. The granules obtained on extrusion and granulation are transformed into films at 220°-260° C. in a second extruder equipped with a flat sheet die. The films are cut into ribbons which are drawn to achieve a stretch ratio of 1:6. The tapes obtained with this procedure are finally 50 μm thick and 2.5 mm wide.
The tapes are mounted without tension on sample holders and exposed to natural weathering in Florida (45° South, direct, approximately 145 kLy/year). Periodically, the tensile strength of the exposed tapes is measured. The received energy (in kLy) corresponding to a loss of 50% (E 50 ) of the initial tensile strength or the % retained tensile strength after 320 kLy is a measure for the stabilizing efficiency of the stabilizer system.
The values obtained are summarized in Table 1.

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 in hours (T 0.1 ) is a measure for the efficiency of the stabilizer system. The values obtained are summarized in Tables 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d.
