Introduction
A need exists to evaluate the amount of plasticizer absorbed by a PVC polymer which is to be used in
dry blending operations. This document specifies a standardized technique under set conditions and is
intended to supplement the results obtained using ISO 4608.
Since these tests do not correspond in detail to particular industrial processes used for the manufacture
of dry blends from PVC polymer and plasticizer, the test results are empirical and need interpretation
in the light of experience.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4574:2019(E)
Plastics — PVC resins for general use — Determination of
hot plasticizer absorption
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for determining the hot plasticizer absorption of PVC polymers
intended for general use (designated “G” in ISO 1060-1) by hot mixing in a planetary mixer and
measuring the amount of plasticizer absorbed.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

4 Principle
Conditioning of 200 parts of plasticizer in the bowl of a planetary mixer at a temperature of 75 ± 0,2 °C.
Addition of 100 parts of the resin to be tested and mixing with the plasticizer. Taking of samples of
this mixture at various times (systematically from 1 min to 30 min), removal of excess plasticizer by
centrifuging, and determining the quantity of plasticizer absorbed by the polymer. Plotting of a graph of
quantity of plasticizer absorbed versus time, from which can be determined, for the polymer under test,
— the mean rate of plasticizer absorption (RPA);
— the hot plasticizer absorption (HPA) at 75 °C and 30 min (see Annex A).
5 Reagent
5.2.1 Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DOP).
6 Apparatus
6.1 Planetary mixer, having the shape and general dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2, and
comprising the following items:
6.1.1 Jacketed stainless-steel bowl.
6.1.2 Thermostat and pump, for circulating demineralized water in the jacket (see note 1) to regulate
the temperature in the bowl at 75 ± 0,2 °C.
6.1.3 Beater.
6.1.4 Motor, sufficiently strong to produce the required frequency of rotation and to maintain it
throughout the mixing procedure.
6.1.5 Rotating wiper or scraper, for cleaning the inside of the bowl.
If the test is carried out at a temperature other than that specified and in particular at a temperature
exceeding 85 °C, it is necessary to use oil in the jacket instead of demineralized water.
NOTE It might be of interest to record the resistance to torque during the preparation of the mixture. A
suitable mixer for this purpose is obtainable commercially. Details can be obtained from the Secretariat of ISO/
TC 61 or from the ISO Central Secretariat.
6.2 Centrifuge, the rotor of which turns in a horizontal plane, having an acceleration under the
4 −2 4 −2
conditions of test of 2,5 × 10 ms to 3,0 × 10 ms measured at the level of the bottom of the tube,
and equipped, if necessary, with a cooling system to prevent the temperature of the mixture at the end of
centrifuging from exceeding 30 °C.
4 −2
It is permissible to use a higher acceleration to reduce the centrifuging time, for example 3,5 × 10 ms
and 30 min, provided that it has been proved that the results obtained are equivalent.
