Abstract
Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) as plasticizers are massively added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, during whose life cycle CPs can be continuously released especially under thermal stress. In this study, a PVC cable sheath was adopted as a representative kind of PVC material to investigate the release behaviors of short- and medium-chain CPs (SCCPs and MCCPs) under thermal treatment. Release percentages of CPs with increasing temperature followed a Gaussian-like curve. At the unmolten stage of 80 °C, heating for 10 min caused 0.051% of added SCCPs and 0.029% of added MCCPs to be released. At the molten stage of 270 °C, accumulative release rates of SCCPs and MCCPs within 10 min were up to 30 and 14%, respectively. The developed emission model indicated that material-gas partitioning and internal diffusion simultaneously governed the release of CPs. During thermal treatment, the release of CPs could be remarkably affected by the thermal expansion of the PVC material and the formation of breakage and micropores. Congener group profiles of released CPs indicated a slight fractionation effect for SCCPs during the release process. Furthermore, the release risk of CPs from the whole life cycle of PVC products was preliminarily evaluated.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
