The service lifetime of corrugated high-d. polyethylene (HDPE) pipes used in transportation infrastructure applications has been the subject of several studies over the years. How factors specific to North American climate conditions-such as freeze/thaw cycles, deicing salts, and abrasion-affect pipe service life have not been addressed. In this study, laboratory accelerated-aging tests were conducted to examine the thermo-oxidative degradation as well as tensile strength and creep modulus of HDPE pipes made with or without recycled resins. Specimens were immersed in saline solution (NaCl), acidic solution (H2SO4), alk. solution (NaOH) at 60°C, or in water and exposed to freeze/thaw cycles ranging from – 40 to + 40°C. Measuring the oxidative induction time (OIT) at various time intervals quantified the amounts of antioxidants present in the pipes, revealing that the rate of antioxidant depletion depended on the surrounding environment. The depletion rate was faster in the saline solution and slower in the freeze/thaw cycles. For specimens exposed to freeze/thaw cycles, the depletion was 1.12 to 1.91 lower than in the acidic solution, 1.25 to 2.64 times lower than in the alk. solution, and 1.43 to 3.25 times lower than in saline solution Nevertheless, the HDPE pipes all met the OIT requirements of a min. of 20 min. Furthermore, the one-way anal. of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s HSD test indicate that the tensile strength and creep modulus values of the recycled and virgin HDPE pipes were unchanged before and after immersion in the different solutions In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,2-Bis(((3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoyl)oxy)methyl)propane-1,3-diyl bis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate) (cas: 6683-19-8Reference of 6683-19-8).
2,2-Bis(((3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoyl)oxy)methyl)propane-1,3-diyl bis(3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate) (cas: 6683-19-8) belongs to esters. Volatile esters with characteristic odours are used in synthetic flavours, perfumes, and cosmetics. Certain volatile esters are used as solvents for lacquers, paints, and varnishes. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is γ-valerolactone.Reference of 6683-19-8
