| Abstract | This work reports the outdoor weathering performance of ultraviolet (UV)-stabilized polypropylene (PP) products (using PP resins from Saudi Basic Industries Corporation [SABIC]). Different hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) were used to stabilize PP-film-based formulations that were exposed for 10 months in harsh outdoor weather of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Characterization of the exposed PP film products was done in terms of mechanical and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic properties. HALS are a very effective light stabilizer for polyolefins.$^{[14–16]}$ They do not act by absorbing UV radiation, but by inhibiting degradation of the polymer, which has started the formation of free radicals. They function by scavenging radicals. HALS has low volatility and high extraction resistance. The effectiveness of HALS is independent of product thickness. Another advantage is that it provides a significant level of stabilization at relatively low concentration.$^{[18]}$ Some important types of high molecular weight HALS are Chimassorb 944 and Tinuvin 622, and a low molecular weight HALS is Tinuvin 770. These HALS, together with other UV stabilizers, are commonly used in polyolefin stabilization. The PP film formulations were divided into five categories based on the type of HALS incorporated. This was done to derive meaningful comparison of the various film formulations. The characterization data are presented for an exposure period of 10 months. The unstabilized PP films were degraded within 2.5 months of the exposure period. The performance in terms of decrease in mechanical properties and FTIR spectroscopic properties was assessed as a result of natural weathering for UV-stabilized samples. Following outdoor weathering trials, the lifetimes of certain formulations were determined. On the basis of the FTIR spectroscopic properties, it was determined that generally, the HALS-stabilized PP film formulations delayed the formation of oxidation products including esters, carbonyls, and trans-vinylenes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
