Phthalate Plasticizers in Children’s Products and Estimation
In this study, the concentrations of six plasticizers were analyzed in 3345 children’s products purchased from 2017 to 2025 in Korea. Among them, 387 products contained at least one plasticizer over the detection limit, indicating that the use of phthalate plasticizers remains common in children’s products.
Know your Plasticizers: A New Study on Plasticizer Migration
The plasticizers discussed in the study include DEHP and diisononyl phthalate ( DINP ), both of which were rated marginal for contact with three of the four non-PVC materials; and DPHP, which was found acceptable for contact with three of them.
Methods for determination of plasticizer migration
Plasticizer migration is responsible for premature coating failure in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) synthetic materials that continue to benefit our daily life as a reliable and cost-efficient simulant of genuine leather. In this context, the establishment of standard assays that measure the migration rate of plasticizers under varying scenarios plays a pivotal role in comparing durability of those
Specification and Evaluation of Plasticizer Migration
We performed a Delphi study with a multidisciplinary panel of 24 experts. In the first (qualitative) phase, the panel developed consensus definitions of the specification criteria to be met by each migration simulant. Next, we reviewed the literature on techniques for simulating the migration of plasticizers into LBPs.
Spectrophotometric characterization of plasticizer migration
This method gives quick results for the migration of plasticizers. Because of clear observation of color change, 3% TiO 2 powder was added in to the plastisols which gives bright white color. After preparation of TiO 2 containing plastisols, two times transfer coatings were applied just as mentioned above.
- Do plasticizers migrate from modeled and commercial polyvinyl chloride to poly (dimethylsiloxane)?
- Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review In the present study, the migration of plasticizers from modeled and commercial polyvinyl chloride (mPVC and cPVC, respectively) to poly (dimethylsiloxane) via artificial sebum was assessed to mimic the dermal migration of plasticizers.
- Which plasticizer has higher migration rates than other plasticizers?
- Having linear structures and relatively lower molecular weights, BIO and DOA showed higher migration rates compared to other plasticizers. Although, FTIR results showed that BIO and DOA have higher compability with PVC, migration rates of them are still higher than others.
- How is plasticizer migration determined?
- A new spectrophotometric method for the determination of plasticizer migration. Chemical structure is the prominent determinant for the migration of plasticizers. Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most commonly used material in the manufacture of artificial leather because of its flexibility, high durability and low cost.
- Why is plasticizer migration important?
- Plasticizer migration is responsible for premature coating failure in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) synthetic materials that continue to benefit our daily life as a reliable and cost-eficient simulant of genuine leather.
- Do plasticizers migrate from PVC films?
- The migration of plasticizers from PVC artificial films was also evaluated in terms of the weight loss percentages. PVC films (3.5 g), which are used in artificial leathers, including 60 phr of different plasticizers were soaked in 400 mL water or isobutanol solutions. After 48 h, the samples were wiped up and dried in oven at 40 °C for 2 h.
- 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 detect-ing plasticizer migration from PVC synthetic materials via three diferent mechanisms (i.e., volatilization, exu-dation, and extraction), with an emphasis on the instru-mentation, methodology, advantages, and limitations of each method.
