Abstract
A polymeric article, such as an extruded or molded article or a biaxially oriented tape or film, and a method of stabilizing such a polymeric article to protect the article from degradation due to exposure to UV light. The article is formed by blending a polymeric material with from about 50 to about 5,000 ppm of at least one ortho hydroxy tris-aryl triazine light absorber and from about 500 ppm to about 1.25 percent of at least one oligomeric, polymeric, or high molecular weight HALS having a molecular weight of at least about 500, wherein the weight ratio of HALS to triazine light absorber is from about 3:1 to about 20:1, to form a stabilized polymeric composition, and forming an extruded or molded article or a biaxially oriented tape or film from the stabilized polymeric composition.
