Abstract
The effect of various stabilizer and titanium dioxide (rutile) pigment combinations on the photo-yellowing and photo-oxidation of commercial polyethylene containing an antioxidant, 4,4′-thio-bis(6-tert-butyl-meta-cresol) is examined. The nature of various interacting mechanisms is discussed.
