Notes:
The rate of loss of the antioxidant 2-tertiary-butyl-4-methoxy phenol (BHA) from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was determined using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The rate of loss was found to follow a first-order expression. Almost all of the antioxidant was lost (〉95 percent) within 1 day at 50°C, within 3 days at 40°C, and within 7 days at 30°C. The controlling parameter for mass transfer of the antioxidant was found to be volatilization rather than diffusion.
