The thermal dehydrochlorination of PVC has been examined on some samples prepared by fractionation of a commercial PVC, and some other samples obtained by polymerization at different temperatures. The results disagree with the concept of a continuous dehydrochlorination from one side to the other of

โฆ Synopsis
The thermal degradation of poly(viny1 chloride) (PVC) was studied by following the rates of dehydrochlorination a t temperatures between 18OOC and 280ยฐC in pure nitrogen and air flow. Iron oxide accelerates the elimination of hydrogen chloride from PVC. The accelerating effect depends on the concentration of the oxide, and it has a maximum. This work tried to explain these behaviors.
A mechanism of dehydrochlorination is suggested for polymer containing iron oxide.
