The evolution of hydrogen fluoride (or other degradation products giving rise to Fions in aqueous solution) from a number of hydrofluoro polymers has been studied in nitrogen or air over a range of temperatures using a fluoride ion selective electrode to monitor the process. The results in an inert atmosphere illustrate the effect of chemical structure upon the relative ease of hydrogen fluoride elimination.
