Title Study of the composition of volatile products given off during moulding of polymers and copolymers of styrene

Abstract Description of a technique for identification and determination of the products given off during injection or extrusion moulding of plastics. Based on gas chromatography, it requires a pyrolysis cell of special design. Substances identified and determined in laboratory experiments with the commonest styrene polymers and copolymers (200-300°C; heating time 0.5-5min.): styrene, ethylbenzene, benzene and toluene, acrylonitrile and hydrogen cyanide. Analysis of factory samples confirmed the emission of the substances detected by the laboratory technique, which can also be easily modified for other groups of plastics. Graphs and tables complete the description and interpretation of results.
