The thermal degradation of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was studied by following the rates of dehydrochlorination at temperatures between 180°C 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.
