Plasticizers for Vinyl Chloride Resins

Acetoxyglycerol acetal derivatives of mono- and polyformyloctadecanoate esters: plasticizers for poly(vinyl chloride)

Aqueous leaching of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate and "green" plasticizers from poly(vinyl chloride).

A method was developed to assess leaching of several poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plasticizers in aqueous media using gas chromatography (GC), and compared to a gravimetric standard test method (ASTM Method D1239). The GC method was a more direct measurement of plasticizer concentration in the aqueous phase. The leaching of commercial plasticizers, as well as several series of "green" candidate p...

Worker exposure to vinyl chloride and poly(vinyl chloride).

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in early 1974 began industrial hygiene studies of vinyl chloride exposed workers. Three VC monomer plants, three VC polymerization plants, and seven PVC fabrication plants were surveyed. V polymerization plant workers and workers in one job category in VC monomer plants were exposed to average levels above 1 ppm. The highest aver...

[Survey of plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride toys].

Plasticizers in 101 samples of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) toys on the Japanese market were surveyed. No phthalates were detected in designated toys, though bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, diisononyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate and benzyl butyl phthalate were detected in more than half of other toys. 2,2,4-Tributyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutylate, o-acetyl tr...

Vinyl chloride Toxicological overview

 Vinyl chloride is readily and rapidly absorbed via inhalation, ingestion and through the skin  At room temperature vinyl chloride is a gas, so inhalation is the major route exposure  Following absorption, it is distributed through the body, with the highest concentrations found in the liver and kidneys, followed by the lungs and spleen  Vinyl chloride is mainly metabolised in the liver int...
