Plastics antioxidants

Many additives are used with PVC polymers such as plasticizers, antioxidants, and impact modifiers. Heat stabilizers, which are particularly important with PVC resins, extend the useful life of the finished product. Plastic additives have been reviewed by Ainsworth.

Woutersen et al. (1985, as cited in Kalberlah and Schneider 1998 ECETOC 1995, 2003) evaluated toxicity data relating to 82 substances including stabilizers, plasticizers, antioxidants, disinfectants, food additives, pesticides, other agrochemicals, and industrial chemicals. The substances were each tested (oral administration to rats) for a subacute (2-4 weeks) and a subchronic (13-18 weeks) duration of exposure. Both the NOAEL and the LOAEL were included in the comparison. For 56% of the substances (46), the ratio NOAELsubacute/ NOAELsubchronic was about 1. For 44% of the substances (36), the subchronic NOAEL was lower than the subacute NOAEL (i.e., the ratio was above 1), and for 3/82 substances, the ratio was above 100. The 95th percentile was about 10. A factor of 4 covered 70%-80% of the substances. 

Polymerization takes place in reactors such as those described previously. The polymer is then usually cooled to solidify it and then it is formed into pellets or beads of a convenient size for shipping and forming. In this process, the solid is usually melted, and mixed with other chemicals (plasticizers, antioxidants, colorants, solvent) or other polymers to form blends.

Plasticizers, antioxidants, and colorants are all potential contaminants of foods that are contained in plastics made with these chemicals. Control of potential migration of plastic components requires testing the containers with food simulants selected to yield information relevant to the intended type of food to be packaged (DeKruyf et al. 1983 Bieber etal. 1984). 

This chapter discusses the dynamic mechanical properties of polystyrene, styrene copolymers, rubber-modified polystyrene and rubber-modified styrene copolymers. In polystyrene, the experimental relaxation spectrum and its probable molecular origins are reviewed further the effects on the relaxations caused by polymer structure (e.g. tacticity, molecular weight, substituents and crosslinking) and additives (e.g. plasticizers, antioxidants, UV stabilizers, flame retardants and colorants) are assessed. The main relaxation behaviour of styrene copolymers is presented and some of the effects of random copolymerization on secondary mechanical relaxation processes are illustrated on styrene-co-acrylonitrile and styrene-co-methacrylic acid. Finally, in rubber-modified polystyrene and styrene copolymers, it is shown how dynamic mechanical spectroscopy can help in the characterization of rubber phase morphology through the analysis of its main relaxation loss peak. 

The principal concerns with the biocompatability of polymers are additives, residual monomers, and contaminants that are leachable in the body. Plastic extractables include such chemicals as base polymers, fillers, lubricants, plasticizers, antioxidants, pigments, and slip agents. They may also include reaction...

Obviously, to increase the load-carrying capacity of a material, it is necessary to increase the constants Tm, xm, and U0 and to reduce y. It is known [8], that the increase in U0 is promoted by an increased filling and its uniformity. Introduction of special additives (plasticizers, antioxidants, and others) to a composition, along with the manufacturing process and material structure, will have an essential influence on constants Tm, xm, and U0.

The Isolated chromophores in a polymer of type A are in general adventitious, being due to end-groups resulting from the polymerization process commercial additives such as plasticizers, antioxidants, and pigments products of thermal, oxidation or occasionally probes added deliberately. Typical examples of type A chromophores are the ketonic species present in thermally oxidized poly(propylene)6 (IV and V) (6). 

Section 8.3 shows the infrared spectra of the most important polymers discussed in this book. IR-spectra of many other plastics and additives can be found in various extensive collections and databanks available and also from the manufacturers of IR-spectrometers. It should be kept in mind that the infrared absorption bands of additives, such as plasticizers, antioxidants, fillers, and pigments will interfere with those of the pure plastic therefore, for the identification of the plastic, these substances will first have to be removed or other additional analytical methods will have to be employed. Table 8.2 coordinates various polymers with their IR-absorption bands. In addition, one should compare the spectrum of any unknown sample with spectra of known polymers either from personally prepared materials or from available spectra collections. It should be noted that spectra shown in various publications are not always recorded using the same units for the vertical and horizontal axes and, therefore, may have a completely different appearance. 

These additives include carbon black, plasticizers, antioxidants, and fillers, all that tend to concentrate in the soft rubber phase of the TEO. 

In addition to the polymer matrix itself, information may be obtained about additives, such as tackifying resins in rubber, flame retardants in polystyrenes, " plasticizers, antioxidants, etc. The study of polymers using pyrolysis in general has been broadened by techniques permitting hydrolysis and methylation, typically by the addition of tetramethyl ammoifium hydroxide to the sample, as described in a review by Challinor." ...
