Discussion Forum: Enhanced stabilizer extraction and Oxidative Stress Cracking (OSC) of fPP and LLDPE liners in RO Water with very low (Negative) Langelier Saturation Index (LSI)
RO water with a very low Langelier Saturation Index has greater solvency power and can promote higher additive migration rates in low crystallinity polyolefins.
