| abstract |
The invention relates to a composition comprising a1) at least one oligomer, co-oligomer, polymer or copolymer or a mixture thereof having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond; or a2) a mixture of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer with at least one oligomer, co-oligomer, polymer or copolymer having at least one ethylenically unsaturated bond; and b) at least one stable sterically hindered nitroxyl free-radical or at least one compound of the benzofuran-2-one type or a mixture of the two compounds. The invention relates also to a method of stabilising ethylenically unsaturated monomers, oligomers, co-oligomers, polymers or copolymers, and to the use of a stable sterically hindered nitroxyl free-radical or a compound of the benzofuran-2-one type in preventing polymerisation or crosslinking. |
