Abstract
Abstract Certain organic phosphite esters have been shown to be effective antioxidants in a radiation cured styrene-butadiene copolymer system. Such antioxidants are selected from the group consisting of a pentaerythritol diphosphite having the general formula: WHERE R1 and R2 are alkyl groups containing from 12 to 20 carbon atoms, a trithio phosphite having the general formula: WHERE R1, R2 and R3 are alkyl groups containing from 10 to 15 carbon atoms and a hexathio diphosphite having the general formula: WHERE R1R2, R3 and R4 are alkyl groups containing from 10 to 15 carbon atoms and x is from 4 to 8.
