3-salicylamido and 3-benzosalicylamido-1,2,4-triazoles are provided which are useful in the enhancement of the resistance of olefin polymers to heavy metal-catalyzed oxidative deterioration. Stabilizer compositions consisting essentially of at least one olefin polymer stabilizer and such amidotriazoles; olefin polymer compositions, such as propylene polymer compositions, containing such amidotriazoles and a process for enhancing the resistance of olefin polymers to copper-catalyzed degradation by incorporation of such amidotriazoles or such stabilizer compositions are also provided. |
