Summary
The kinetics of oxygen consumption during the induction period of oxidation of high density polyethylene was studied in the presence of inhibitor 2,2'-methylene-bis(4-methyl-6-tert.butylphenol) within the range 180–220° C. The oxygen consumption curves are complicated, the initial and maximum rates of oxygen consumption pass through minimum with increasing inhibitor concentration. The molecular weight distribution narrows in the course of inhibited oxidation.
Analysis of the regularities found enabled us to distinguish the rates of oxygen consumption by the polymer and by the inhibitor.
