(chemistry)

Molecular deterioration of materials (usually organics) because of overheat; can be avoided by low-temperature or vacuum processing, as for foods and pharmaceuticals.

vacuum distillation

It was believed the thermal degradation was most likely caused by the high topside preheat (180[degrees]C) in conjunction with the time required at this temperature to reflow the component, remove the component and vacuum the holes.
