Abstract
Abstract Cupric stearate is an effective processing stabiliser for polypropylene and is shown to act by a redox mechanism in which alkyl and alkylperoxyl radicals are alternatively oxidised and reduced. This process resembles the antioxidant mechanism of stable phenoxyl and nitroxyl radicals.
