Processing of polyethylene and polypropylene
Due to the presence of tertiary carbon atoms, polypropylene is sensitive to the action of oxygen, especially at elevated temperatures, which makes it more prone to aging than polyethylene and copolymers of ethylene with propylene. Therefore, during processing, stabilizers are added to the polypropylene. Compared with polyethylene, polypropylene has higher strength, heat resistance, oxidation resistance […]
