Abstract
A process for the sterilization of objects made of polymers in which the molecule contains a halogen, or of products packaged in such polymer material, the polymer containing a heat stabilizer wherein, prior to irradiation of the object or the package and its contents, there is incorporated into the polymer one or more esters carrying at least one mercaptan function in the proportion of one --SH group for 3 to 10 carbon atoms.
