Abstract

Plastics have various thermal stabilities that are depending on the structure of polymers chains. Therefore it is very important to know these properties, which influence temperature regime processing equipments. This contribution presents differential scanning analysis (DSC) and thermogravimetry analysis (TG) of selected plastics in protective atmosphere of Ar as well as in oxidative atmosphere of synthetic air. These analyses serve for proposition of temperature regime of processing.

Keywords
