The simultaneously working combination of thermal analysis and mass spectrometry (TA/MS) is a very useful method for studying the degradation process of polymeric materials during thermal treatment [1–7]. Beside the thermal effects, as recorded from thermogravimetry (TG) or differential thermal analysis (DTA) the evolved degradation products can be determined and identified by the on ‐ line coupled mass spectrometer. Additional their temperature depending abundance can be registrated. Combustion of polymers in horizontal (BIS) or vertical (VCI) furnaces and subsequent off line high resolution GC/MS analysis of pyrolysis products is suitable for the simulation of burning processes
