β¦ Synopsis
Three methods of measuring thermal oxidative stability of polypropylene have been compared. The oxygen absorption and the sealed tube tests give comparable results. The polymer lifetimes in circulating oven-aging tests ditrer significantly from those obtained by the first two methods. The oven-aging lifetime is apparently influenced to a large extent by the volatilization of the added stabilizer and of the oxidation products, the former decreases whereas the latter increasw the polymer lifetime. The optimum composition of a synergistic stabilizer system was found to vary with the test method.
