  • the invention relates to a process for stabilizing polyolefin recyclates, to a stabilizer mixture, and to the recycled polyolefins obtainable by the process.
  • the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a stabilization system which has very good stabilizing properties and consists as far as possible of liquid, homogeneously miscible components. Furthermore, the stabilizer system should be economically acceptable for use in recyclates, i.e. it should either be effective in low concentrations or consist of inexpensive components.
  • a mixture comprising a secondary aromatic amine and a polyfunctional epoxide is particularly suitable for stabilizing polyolefin recyclates in accordance with the requirements set out above.
  • the present invention therefore provides a process for stabilizing a polyolefin recyclate against oxidative, thermal or light-induced degradation, which comprises adding thereto at least one secondary aromatic amine and at least one polyfunctional epoxide.
  • the invention is particularly important in connection with polyolefin recyclates as are obtained from production waste, collections of recyclable material from households, in retail outlets or through obligatory takeback schemes, for example in the automotive industry, such as for old battery cases, or in the electrical sector.
