A procedure was developed to measure adsorption (scalping) of limonene by low density polyethylene. The polymer was mounted on an oxygen electrode. Limonene absorption produced an increase in oxygen permeability which appeared proportional to limonene concentration. Diffusion coefficients calculated from permeation curves were similar to diffusion coefficients calculated on a weight change basis.
