Heat Resistance of Common Polymers

Thermogravimetric (TG) measurements were used to evaluate the heat resistance of various polymer materials by measuring their thermal decomposition accompanied by weight changes. TG/DTA analysis was performed on samples of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyacetal (POM), epoxy resin (EP), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The results showed that the polymers had differing thermal decomposition behaviors and their heat resistance and thermal stability could be inferred from their TG curves.

1981 Heat Resistance of Polymers

1. Introduction
TG measurements are widely used for the evaluation of the heat resistance of
various polymer materials because the thermal decomposition of polymers is
accompanied by weight changes.
TG/DTA can be applied to the evaluation of heat resistance and thermal stability of
various polymers.
In this brief, the following polymers are measured: polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
polyacetal (POM), epoxy resin (EP), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), low density
polyethylene (LDPE) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

2. Measurement
Figure 1 shows the TG results for the various polymers. These results show that
thermal decomposition behavior differs by polymer type. The heat resistance and
thermal stability of these polymers can be inferred from their TG curves.
