Abstract

The present paper describes the thermal oxidation of a mixture applied as hot melt adhesive and particularly of its essential polymeric component ethylene-propylene copolymer Licocene 2602 either virgin or grafted by acrylic acid. Chemiluminescence in oxygen under both nonisothermal and isothermal conditions was used as the tool for evaluation of oxidation stability of samples. The effect of various concentrations of stabiliser Naugard XL1 acting as a metal deactivator and phenolic antioxidant was also determined and the antioxidant selected was found to be an efficient thermooxidative stabiliser. The results appear to be of importance for practical multiple application of hot melt adhesives to be used for binding books.
