Summary
The kinetic study on thermal degradation of stabilised low density polyethylene by chemiluminescence investigations was performed. Four hindered amine light stabilisers, additive compounds, were used as thermal protector on polymer substrate. The experiments were carried out on the samples consisting of polyetylene and 0.25% (w/w) of hindered amine. Three temperatures (180, 190 and 200 °C) were selected for this assay allowing the calculation of the activation energy required for thermal oxidation of polyethylene matrix. A discussion on mechanistic aspects concerning the antioxidant efficiency of studied compounds is also presented.
