Abstract

Radiation-sterilized shaped articles of olefin polymers containing 0.01 - 0.5% by weight based on the weight of the olefin polymers, of octadecyl 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate or/and tetrakis [(m methane. The radiation-sterilized shaped articles are colorless and still have practically acceptable physical properties (melt flow rate and percentage occurrence of cracking), in spite of the fact that they have been irradiated with high energy radiation.
