The thermal stability of a polymer is a vital consideration in many industrial processes. It is important to gain a clear indication of the types of chemical species which are evolved and the temperatures at which they are released to insure worker safety during manufacturing. With the large number of additives and copolymers available for industrial use; volatile components can pose potential hazards to those exposed to large quantities or over prolonged periods.
Read our examination of off-gassing as a function of temperature and its effect on worker safety.
