Four kinds of annealed polyethylene ( P E ) films with varying densities were photo-irradiated with a medium pressure mercury lamp. Photodegradation processes were followed by ultraviolet (UV) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques and by gel and mechanical property measureme

✦ Synopsis
The oxidation stability of low density polyethylene to UV light has been studied in the presence of various types of antioxidants (hindered phenols, HALS and synthetic N-alkylamines). A chemiluminescence procedure has been applied. Kinetic parameters of oxidation are obtained from isothermal measurements at 180 °C. The synergistic effect of antioxidant couples is examined and a stabilisation order is determined.
