We studied the evolution of hydrogen chloride and benzene from two PVC samples differing only in molecular weight, during a slow pyrolysis experiment. It appears that the evolution rates and total amount of benzene decrease rapidly when molecular weight increases. Twenty to 30 benzene molecules are
