Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

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.

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).

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.
