A practical guide to the identification of monomeric plasticizers in flexible PVC compounds

The performance of a flexible PVC compound is often defined by its plasticizer content and composition. A simple, accurate and fast method of plasticizer identification can therefore be an effective quality control test and benchmark performance in new product development studies.

Description
Summary:The performance of a flexible PVC compound is often defined by its plasticizer content and composition. A simple, accurate and fast method of plasticizer identification can therefore be an effective quality control test and benchmark performance in new product development studies. Gas chromatography provides the most effective plasticizer identification method. Gas chromatography can be supplemented by infrared and liquid chromatography and physical observations to confirm identity.
