          Application No. 08/252,511                                                  


                    1.  A melt blend stabilizer composition                           
               exhibiting enhanced hydrolytic stability comprising:                   
                    (A) a phosphorous compound selected from the                      
               group consisting of phosphites and phosphonites,                       
               said phosphorous compound being present at a level                     
               of from 10 percent by weight to 90 percent by weight                   
               based on the total weight of the stabilizer                            
               composition,                                                           
                    (B) a hindered phenolic isocyanurate present at                   
               a level of from 10 percent by weight to 90 percent                     
               by weight based on the total weight of the                             
               composition, and                                                       
                    (C) less than about 10 percent by weight                          
               additional materials.                                                  
                    12.  A method for making a stabilizer                             
               composition exhibiting enhanced hydrolytic                             
               stability, said method comprising:                                     
                    (a) melt blending a phosphorous compound and a                    
               hindered phenolic isocyanurate; said composition                       
               comprising from 10 to 90 weight percent of said                        
               phosphorous compound and from 10 to 90 weight                          
               percent of said hindered phenolic isocyanurate based                   
               on the total weight of the composition.                                
               The subject matter on appeal relates to a melt blend                   
          stabilizer composition comprising, in the recited amounts, (A)              
          a phosphite or phosphonite, (B) a hindered phenolic                         
          isocyanurate, and (C) additional materials and to a method for              
          making a stabilizer composition.  According to the appellant,               
          the claimed composition exhibits improved hydrolytic                        
          stability.  (Substitute appeal brief, page 2.)
