Abstract Samples of glass‐ and nylon‐reinforced CTL 91‐LD phenolic and G. E. 124 resin were pyrolyzed in an arc image furnace at high vacuum. Compositions of the various degradation gases are reported. Average molecular weights of these gases were calculated. A description of the mechanism of pyrolysis of G. E. 124 resins is presented. A critique of the method is included.
