In this paper, thermogravimetric analysis of different types/grades of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) wall panel is carried out using thermogravimetric analyzer. The data output from the analyzer is subjected to data analysis software i.e., OriginPro 2018, from which thermal attributes are find out for different grades of PVC wall panel i.e., soft PVC, hard PVC, WPVC and SPVC. The thermogravimetric attributes i.e., onset degradation temperature Ti, final degradation temperature Tf,, reaction interval and the peak temperature TP from the derivative thermogravimetric curve for the four basic types of PVC were comparatively analyzed for the characterization purpose. Beside the thermal characterization, the thermogravimetric analysis also disclosed the compositional attributes of the four types of PVC wall panel. The analysis in this paper characterized the SPVC as the most thermally stable PVC wall panel followed by hard, soft and WPVC.
Key words: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) / thermogravimetric / temperature / soft / hard / wpvc / spvc
