Stabilisers: General Aspects

  • Chapter
PVC Technology

Abstract

PVC polymers and copolymers are susceptible to degradation by heat (the thermal degradation is sometimes referred to as ‘thermolysis’) and by light (photolysis, also called photodegradation, and—in some contexts—photochemical degradation): in both cases degradation is rapid and more severe in the presence of oxygen. In the practical context photochemical effects are of special concern in outdoor exposure of PVC materials, where they may be accompanied by those of other factors instrumental in weathering (see Chapter 12, Section 12.6) so that the overall deterioration can be faster and more drastic than that caused by exposure to light alone.
