As stated in Tomlinson, after finding admixing of the compounds to be obvious:

As to the introductory language, ‘a process of inhibiting degradation of polypropylene caused by exposure to light,’ again we do not think these words can serve to patentably distinguish the claimed process from the prior art. That language in effect, states the result of admixing the two materials. While the references do not show a specific recognition of that result, its discovery by appellants is tantamount only to finding a property in the old composition, not in the nickel compound for which, it is argued, a new use has been found.

In re Tomlinson, 363 F.2d 928, 934 (CCPA 1966).

In fact, these claims are ambiguous hybrid claims that the Examiner should review for definiteness. See Rembrandt Data Techs., LP v. AOL, LLC, 641 F.3d 1331, 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (“reciting both an apparatus and a method of using that apparatus renders a claim indefinite under section 112, paragraph 2”) (internal citation and quotations omitted).
