Abstract The accelerated thermal degradation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was studied in air at atmospheric pressure and temperatures of 70, 80, 90 and 100°C. The changes in elongation at break, traction resistance and density as a result of accelerated thermooxidative degradation were followed. Thermal analysis curves (TG, DTG and DTA) of non-aged and thermally aged LDPE were recorded, and the thermal analysis results were compared with those relating to the variations in the elongation at break, the traction resistance and the density as a consequence of accelerated thermal aging.
