Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for inhibiting the premature polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers comprising adding to said monomers an effective amount of:A) at least one stable hindered nitroxyl compound having the structural formula:  wherein R1 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, and heteroatom-substituted alkyl and R2 and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl and heteroatom-substituted alkyl; and X1 and X2 (1) are independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, COOR7, —S—COR7, —OCOR7, (wherein R7 is alkyl of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, or (2) taken together, form a ring structure with the nitrogen; andB) at least one phenylenediamine, and, optionally,C) at least one nitroaromatic compound.
