Summary

The polypropylene additives were extracted by dissolution-precipitation and Soxhlet. The Soxhlet method was adapted for the extraction of phosphorous antioxidants. The RP HPLC method with quaternary gradient elution separated five chemical groups of additives: lower molecular mass di-tert-butyl phenol (D.T.B.P.), hindered amine light stabilizers (Tinuvin 326), hindered phenolic antioxidants (Irganox 1010) and phosphorous antioxidants (Irgafos 168 and Ultranox 626) with their degradation products.
