The temperature influence on the thermal degradation products evolved from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was investigated. The experiments were carried out within the temperature range of 200–700°C in air. The main volatile toxic products and weight losses during thermal degradation of PET were determined. The results are presented on plots as a function of the degradation temperature. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 69: 2377–2381, 1998
