Photooxidation and Accelerated Testing of Polypropylene.

Abstract

The ultimate objective of the research described here was to devise an accelerated test to predict the useful lives of stabilized polypropylene (PP) resins exposed to sun and weather. The point of departure was a study of radical-initiated oxidations of polyolefins in the dark at 20 C to 55 C; 90% of the oxygen consumed was accounted for and a simple mechanism was consistent with the products.
