N
eat polymer materials have poor stability and would result in a commercial failure if they are used virgin. A
nucleating agent is used in polypropylene, providing superior mechanical properties, easier dispersion and
reduced interaction with metal stearate and to give high degree of crystalline resulting in increased mechan-
ical properties such as hardness, elasticity modulus etc., and improve optical properties such as transparency
in different grade of co-polymer polypropylene virgin powder. Nucleating agent and some secondary antiox-
idants are also used which are phosphorus based. Due to common phosphorus metal in both additives it is
difficult to analyse the contribution of individual quantity as per standard test method ASTM D 6247 “Analysis
of elemental content in additive in polyolefin by X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry”. All components in combi-
nation of various additives were also not significantly separated in gas chromatography and high performance
liquid chromatography. New method developed for the analysis of nucleating agent in range of 0.01% to 0.1%
concentration. Repeatability and validation of method established.
