Jp. Agrawal et al., ROLE OF SOME ANTIOXIDANTS ON POLYMERIZATION BEHAVIOR OF ETHYLENE-OXIDE, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 2(5), 1995, pp. 249-252
Ethylene oxide undergoes polymerisation during storage. The extent of
polymerisation has been studied by determining non-volatile residue (N
VR) periodically. The addition of antioxidants retard. its polymerisat
ion and it is supported by NVR data as well as performance evaluation
test as compared to the virgin ethylene oxide.
