Methods for determination of plasticizer migration
In general, plasticizer migration from PVC synthetic materials can proceed via three different mechanisms, namely volatilization, exudation or extraction, depending on the environment where the PVC coatings are located.
Plasticiser loss from plastic or rubber products through
The migration of plasticiser from polymers to a gas phase is a two-step process that includes diffusion from the polymer bulk to the surface followed by evaporation from the surface to the...
A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC - Nature
The as-prepared PVC has a plasticizing efficiency as high as DOP and its migration is totally suppressed. Unlike other reported methods, this approach increases the interaction between...
Prevent Plasticizer Migration with Vinyl Bonding Solutions
Plasticizer migration occurs when plasticizers migrate from one material to another, typically from the vinyl to the adhesive which adheres it to the substrate itself. Plasticizer migration occurs over time and can be accelerated with heat.
Plasticizer Migration: What is it and why is it a problem
Plasticizer migration is the unwanted net movement of a plasticizer component out of a compound (like an adhesive or plastic). It can occur through gas volatilisation, liquid extraction, or solid migration. Collectively these are known as plasticizer migration. Plasticizers are often put into materials to make them more flexible or malleable.
- Can plasticizers migrate from flexible PVC parts to other media?
- An accelerated method has been set up in order to study the capacity of migration of different commercial plasticizers from flexible PVC parts towards other media kept in contact with it; in this case, polystyrene (PS) has been used as example.
- How can we measure plasticizer migration in coextruded PVC pipes?
- Technologically relevant for plasticizer migration studies in coextruded PVC pipes. This study introduces and validates an effective approach for monitoring the plasticizer amount and its concentration profile in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formulations. The method combines gravimetric measurements with confocal Raman depth profiling analysis.
- Do Plasticizers improve the migration resistance of plasticized PVC material?
- This indicates that a moderate increase in the relative molecular weight of the plasticizer can effectively improve the migration resistance of the plasticized PVC material, a finding consistent with the results from the resistance tests. There has been no clear evidence observed regarding the plasticization process of plasticizers in PVC.
- How do we detect plasticizer migration from PVC synthetic materials?
- To this end, this review is compiled as a general review of the methods now available for detecting plasticizer migration from PVC synthetic materials via three different mechanisms (i.e., volatilization, exudation, and extraction), with an emphasis on the instrumentation, methodology, advantages, and limitations of each method.
- What is plasticizer migration?
- Plasticizer migration is the unwanted net movement of a plasticizer component out of a compound (like an adhesive or plastic). It can occur through gas volatilisation, liquid extraction, or solid migration. Collectively these are known as plasticizer migration. Plasticizers are often put into materials to make them more flexible or malleable.
- Do plasticizers migrate from PVC to distilled water?
- Nevertheless, plasticizer migration from PVC blends with only one plasticizer, including extraction in distilled water, exudation and volatility, was investigated, showing the highest volatility of PVC/CA (about three times higher than for PVC/DOTP) and comparable extraction in distilled water.
