Abstract
Volatile products present in poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, after outdoor weathering have been compared with volatiles from laboratory, UV expos ed PVC surfaces. Compounds both present in the photodegraded polymer s urface layer and directly emitted from the polymer were measured in th e laboratory experiments. The hydrocarbons, oxygenated compounds and c hloro-organic species were measured and identified by capillary gas ch romatography with a mass spectrometer detector.
