The pyrolysis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been described in terms of a relatively simple kinetic model, based on a large number of laboratory tests. The model predictions are in a good agreement with experimental data, regarding hydrochloric acid and non‐condensable combustible gases. Therefore, the proposed model can be used to predict with good approximation the distributions of the above classes of compounds, in the whole range of applied experimental conditions.
