Plastics - Determination of the tendency of compounds and products based on vinyl chloride homopolymers and copolymers to evolve hydrogen chloride and any other acidic products at elevated temperatures - Part 4: Potentiometric method (ISO 182-4:1993)

The principle of the method is maintaining a test portion of the PVC at an agreed temperature in a nitrogen gas stream, absorbing the hydrogen chloride evolved in a given amount of an appropriate solution, and potentiometrically determining the amount of hydrogen chloride evolved in relation to the recorded change in pCl of the absorbing solution. The method is recommended for compounded PVC materials and products only, although it can be used for polymers in powder form under appropriate conditions.

ISO 182=4:1993(E) 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. Esch 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. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 182-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Sub-Committee SC 6, Ageing, Chemical and environ- mental resis tance. Together with the three other Parts of ISO 182, it cancels and replaces ISO Recommendation R l82:1970, of which the four Parts of ISO 182 consti- tute a technical revision. ISO 182 consists of the following Parts, under the general title Plas tics - Determination of the tendency of compounds and products based on Vinyl chloride homopolymers and copolymers to evolve hydrogen chloride and any other acidic products at elevated tempera tures: - Part 1: Congo red method - Part 2: pH method - Part 3: Conductometric method - Part 4: Potentiometric method Annexes A and B of this part of ISO 182 are for information only. 0 ISO 1993 All rights reserved.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 182=4:1993(E) Plastics - Determination of the tendency of compounds and products based on Vinyl chloride homopolymers and copolymers to evolve hydrogen chloride and any other acidic products at elevated temperatures - Part 4: Potentiometric method WARNING - The use of this part of ISO 182 may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This part of ISO 182 does not purport to address all of the safety Problems associated with its use. lt is the responsibility of the user of this part of ISO 182 to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations Prior to use. 1 Scope 1.1 This part of ISO 182 specifies a method for the determination of the thermal stability at elevated temperature of compounds and products based on Vinyl chloride homopolymers and copolymers (in the following text abbreviated as PVC) which undergo dehydrochlorination (the evolution of hydrogen chlor- ide). 1.2 The method may be used as a quality control test during manufacture and conversion of PVC com- pounds. lt may also be used for the characterization of PVC compounds and products, especially with re- gard to the effectiveness of their heat-stabilizing sys- tems. lt is suitable for coloured PVC compounds and prod- ucts for which a discolouration test under the action of heat may be unsatisfactory. 1.3 The method is recommended for compounded PVC materials and products only, although it tan be used for polymers in powder form under appropriate conditions to be agreed upon between the interested Parties. The method is not recommended for PVC compounds in the form of dry blends, since such materials may not be sufficiently homogeneous. 1.4 PVC compounds and products may evolve other decomposition products in addition to hydrogen chloride at elevated temperatures. A limited number of these products, originating from the decomposition of certain comonomers (such as Vinyl esters of or- ganic acids) or of plasticizers, stabilizers and other additives, may effect the pH or the conductivity of an aqueous Solution when they are absorbed. Conse- quently, the results obtained for different products by the methods described in Parts 2 and 3 of ISO 182 may not be comparable with those obtained using the method described in the present part of ISO 182. 1.5 This part of ISO 182 specifies a potentiometric method for the determination of chloride ion (Cl-) concentration (expressed as pCI) in an absorbing sol- ution, independent of the presence of other ions. The value pCl is defined as - Ig ccI, where ccI is the molar concentration of chloride ions. This method is, there- fore, particularly recommended for plasticized PVC compounds and copolymers. 1 SIST EN ISO 182-4:2001



ISO 182=4:1993(E) 1.6 This method may also be applied to other plas- tics materials that tan evolve hydrogen chloride when heated under the conditions prescribed by the rel- evant specifications, or as agreed upon between the interested Parties. 2 Normative references The following Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO 182.

The amount of hydrogen chloride evolved is determined potentiometrically in relation to the recorded Change in pCI of the absorbing Solution. 5 Reagents During the test, use only reagents of recognized ana- lytical grade in accordance with ISO 6353-2. 5.1 Pure nitrogen, containing less than 6 ppm oxy- gen and less than 0,l ppm carbon dioxide by volume. The purity shall be such that when the gas is passed through the absorbing Solution for 1 h at a rate of 7,2 I/h + 0,l I/h, the conductivity of the water re- mains Ükhanged. The gas shall be dried by passing it through a suitable drying agent and the flow-rate through the dehydro- chlorination cell adjusted by means of a needle valve and measured using a suitable flowmeter. 5.2 Hydrochlorit acid, aqueous Solution, c(HCI) = 0,Ol mol/l. 5.3 Distilled or demineralized water.
