1 Scope

This document specifies a method for the determination of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) and 2, 5-Dimethyl-2, 5-di (tert-butylperoxy) hexane (DBPH) in plastics by using gas chromatography.

This document is applicable to the determination of the content of residual peroxides in plastics and their products, which use peroxides as a degradation agent or crosslinking agent during plastics processing, or as an additive during polymerization, thereby remaining in degraded polypropylene, crosslinked polyethylene, polystyrene and other plastics.
