(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Measurement of Plasticizer Migration From Vinyl Fabrics to Lacquers
Standard Test Method for Measurement of Plasticizer Migration From Vinyl Fabrics to Lacquers
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 Plasticizers in finished vinyl fabric can be transferred to coatings with which they come in contact. When this takes place, objectionable marring and softening occur. This test method covers an accelerated test for measurement of this tendency.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers an accelerated test for the measurement of a tendency for plasticizers in finished vinyl fabric to be transferred to coatings with which they come in contact.
Note 1: Age of fabric sample may affect results of test. To ensure most reliable results, test with fabric sample closest in age to what will be coated.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
