The aim of this study was to improve the processability and to investigate the resistance of polyethylene to thermal oxidation in the presence of different mineral fillers. It was shown that the presence in crosslinked polyethylene of 5-10 parts aluminium powder promotes a 2-3-fold increase in thermal oxidation resistance by comparison with unfilled polyethylene.
