Abstract: The paper presents a new approach to the direct determination of the content of phenol and individual isomers of isopropylphenol in technical and formulated products of additives to polymers on the base of the aryl esters of phosphoric acid, which is based on the gas-liquid (GLC) and/or high- -performance liquid (HPLC) chromatographic method, respectively. The lower limit of detection of individual components is in the range of 0.005—0.01 %. The 95 % confidence limit is (0.100±0.005) %. The methods were verified with some technical and formulated products of different provenience. The results of GLC and HPLC analyses were in good agreement. For comparison, the result obtained by spectrophotometric method is given for each sample.
