This book focuses on the polyolefin additives that are currently important in the plastics industry, alongside new additives of increasing interest, such as nanofillers and environmentally sustainable materials. As much as possible, each chapter emphasizes the performance of the additives in the polymer, and the value each relevant additive brings to polypropylene or polyethylene. Where possible, similar additives are compared by capability and relative cost.
The last but not the least-important issue concerns speed. POs, which are so often used in high-volume commodity applications, are being processed with faster, computer-controlled equipment and tooling. Competition is driving this need for speed. A simple example is a molder who requires a PP margarine tub to be molded at a certain cycle time on a high-speed injection molding press; if it is not, the molder cannot be competitive and profitable at the same time, and the job cannot be considered a winner. With processing machines getting faster all the time, PO formulations include additives that help processors reach their productivity goals using processing aids, nucleating agents, and other additives.
It follows, therefore, that under solar exposure most of theseadditives are considerably degraded and consumed, and it is importantto mention that the depletion of these additives (with the exceptionof adipate) follows an exponential behavior, inside the experimentalerror. Thus, the time dependence of these processes can be expressedby an exponential function of the type
The values of apparent concentrationfor the diverse additiveswere determined from the individual peak areas in the total ion chromatogramof each additive in relation to the area obtained for the internalstandard, 8OCB. Absolute concentrations may be somewhat differentsince variations in response factors among the studied substancesare expected. Anyway, the most relevant issue is the relative changeof the different additives with degradation time, and that shall remainunaffected by considering or not the response factors.
The studied compounds cannot always be found in the mass spectrometersoftware libraries (especially when the peaks correspond to degradationproducts identified from high-molecular-weight additives). In suchcases, the assignment is made by comparing the expected fragmentationpath from the most probable degradation products with that observedin the chromatogram.
