Abstract

Oxidation thermal parameters on samples of polypropylene (PP) stabilized with hydroxytyrosol were determined. For comparison purposes, α-tocopherol and a synthetic phenolic commercial antioxidant (Irganox 1076), were also analyzed. Oxidation induction time (OIt) and oxidation induction temperature (OIT) were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The addition of hydroxytyrosol 0.1 mass% to PP was enough to obtain efficient stabilization during processing. Certain decrease in stabilizing properties of natural antioxidants was observed for compression moulded materials at high temperatures. However, these samples were still efficiently stabilized in comparison to the pure material. Hydroxytyrosol showed good performance as polypropylene antioxidant and it might be considered as promising alternative to the use of phenolic synthetic compounds.
