Abstract

Stabilized acetal polymer molding compositions are formed by first preparing an intimate dispersion of an amidine stabilizer in a carrier resin comprising an ionic polymer, i.e. an "ionomer", and compounding the dispersion with the acetal polymer. The resulting composition is found in many cases to have improved stability over compositions prepared by adding the amidine compound in an undispersed form.
