Composition

A stabilizing composition, comprising:

• a) a first phenolic antioxidant comprising one or more phenolic compounds having the structure of formula (I):
• wherein R1 is a linear or branched alkyl group having from 12 to 20 carbon atoms;
• and
• b) one or more second phenolic antioxidants independently selected from the group consisting of:
• a mono-hydroxybenzene selected from the group consisting of α-tocopherol;
• 4,4′-thiobis(2-t-butyl-5-methylphenol), 2,2′-thiobis(6-t-butyl-4-methylphenol), 2,2′-methylenebis(6-t-butyl-4-methylphenol), 4,4′-butylidenebis[2-t-butyl-5-methylphenol], 2,2′-methylenebis(6-nonyl-p-cresol) and phenol, 4-methyl-, reaction products with dicyclopentadiene and isobutylene;
• a di-hydroxybenzene selected from the group consisting of 4-tert-butylcatechol, 2,5-di-tert-amyl-hydroquinone, benzene-1,2-diol, benzene-1,3-diol, and benzene-1,4-diol;
• and
• a tri-hydroxybenzene selected from the group consisting of benzene-1,2,3-triol, propyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate;
• and benzene-1,2,4-triol,
• wherein the stabilizing composition does not contain a benzofuranone-based booster component and does not contain an amine-containing antioxidant.
