Abstract
The article presents research on the thermal decomposition of individual ingredients and compositions that are physical mixtures of emulsion poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), cadmium yellow, and stearic acid. The results of the tests were TG, DTA, and DTG graphs. From their course, the initial decomposition temperatures, maximum decomposition rate, and final temperatures were determined, and changes in the mass of samples and the values of thermal effects were calculated. The influence of pigment and stearic acid on the thermal decomposition of PVC was investigated. Cadmium yellow, modified in an alkaline medium and containing hydroxyl groups, was also used for the tests. It was found that the presence of both pigment and stearic acid had a retarding effect on the initiation of thermal decomposition of PVC. The addition of CdS modified in an alkaline environment had a more or less similar effect on the initial decomposition temperature of PVC. Depending on the composition of the polymer and the value of the final temperature, different values of thermal effects and the amount of products formed were indicated.
