1、Designation: D 2383 09Standard Practice forTesting Plasticizer Compatibility in Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC) Compounds Under Humid Conditions1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2383; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the ca
2、se of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This practice defines the conditions for the exposure andqualitative evaluation of poly(v
3、inyl chloride) (PVC) com-pounds for plasticizer compatibility under humid conditions.Change in appearance is used for judging compatibility.1.2 The text of this practice references notes and footnotesthat provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)

14、ation may be employed.PartsGeneral-Purpose PVC Resin:Type GP 40000 as defined in Specification D 1755. 100Plasticizer:Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate 50Stabilizer:Weatherable BaZn 1NOTE 3The test compound suggested in Note 2 will not exude undereither test temperature specified in 9.2.9. Procedure9.1 Susp
15、end the specimens from hooks over 1-1.3 cm ofdistilled water in closed containers so that they do not touch thewater layer, sides of the container, or each other.9.2 Place the containers in the circulating-air oven (see 6.2)at either 60 6 1C or 80 6 1C, depending upon whichtemperature is specified i
16、n the applicable material specifica-tion. Put covers on loosely until the containers come totemperature equilibrium, then tighten covers.9.3 Remove the containers from the oven at specifiedintervals. Under normal inspection, the intervals for plasticizedPVC are:9.3.1 At 60C, once a week for a total
17、of 4 weeks.9.3.2 At 80C, 1, 3, 7, 10, and 14 days.9.4 After allowing to dry, examine the specimens forevidence of exudation and record their appearance.9.5 Replace the specimens in the original containers andcontinue the test for the specified period of time.10. Ratings10.1 The following visual and
18、tactile ratings are used forjudging plasticizer compatibility:10.1.1 None (Dry)No evidence of exudation.10.1.2 Slight (Tacky)Slight exudation resulting in asticky specimen surface.10.1.3 Moderate (Greasy)Thin film of exuded plasticizercovers specimen surface. Film may be greasy, oily, or waxy.10.1.4
19、 Heavy (Wet)Droplets of exuded plasticizer accu-mulated on specimen surface. Specimen may be blistered.11. Report11.1 The report shall include the following:11.1.1 Sample identification,11.1.2 Temperature of test, and11.1.3 Rating and appearance of the specimen at the end ofeach test interval.12. Pr
