Vinyl Chloride
Withdrawn Provided for Historical Reference Only VINYL CHLORIDE Method no.: 04 Matrix: Air Target concentration: 1 ppm (2.5 mg/m3) (OSHA PEL) Procedure: Collection on charcoal (two-tubes in-series) , desorption with carbon disulfide, analysis by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. Stored in refrigerator and analyzed as soon as possible. Detection limit based on recommended air volume: 0.25 ppm Recommended air volume and sampling rate: 1 L at 0.05 L/min Standard error of estimate at the target concentration: 7.6% (Figure 4.1.) Status of method: Recommended by NIOSH, partially evaluated by OSHA Laboratory. Date:WITHDRAWN April 1979 Chemist: Dee R. Chambers Organic Methods Evaluation Branch OSHA Analytical Laboratory Salt Lake City Utah Note: OSHA no longer uses or supports this method (December 2019). Withdrawn Provided for Historical Reference Only 1. General Discussion 1.1. Background 1.1.1. History In January 1974, B.F. Goodrich Chemical Company informed NIOSH of several deaths among polyvinyl chloride production workers from angiosarcoma, a rare liver cancer. In response to this and other evidence of potential hazards, OSHA lowered the workplace air standard for vinyl chloride (VC) from 500 ppm to 1 ppm 8-h time weighted average. Since the recognition that VC was a carcinogen, a great deal of research into the sampling and analytical methodology has been conducted. Perhaps the most complete and thorough examination has been conducted by Hill, McCammon, Saalwaechter, Teass, and W oodfin for NIOSH titled "The Gas Chromatographic Determination of Vinyl Chloride in Air Samples Collected on Charcoal" (Ref. 5.1.). -
2 Types of Noncrystalline Polymers
2 Types of Noncrystalline Polymers 1. Glassy polymer highly interpenetrated/entangled 2. Rubbery polymers random Gaussian coils Glass Transition Temperature εij Two viewpoints: • Increasing T: When kT > magnitude of εij, the thermal fluctuations can overcome local intermolecular bonds and the frozen (“glassy”) structure becomes “fluid-like”. • Decreasing T: As the temperature is lowered and T approaches Tg, the viscosity increases to ∞ and the material becomes “solid” Free Volume Theory of Tg Free volume, VF – extra space beyond what is present in an ordered crystalline packing (beyond the interstitial volume). VF(T) ≡ V(T) – V0(T) • V0 is occupied specific volume of atoms or molecules in the xline state and the spaces between them: ~ VXL. V(T) α • VF increases as T increases due to the Rate of cooling l difference in the thermal expansion V (T) αg XL coefficients (αg vs αl).

Abstract: This paper reviews the current trends in replacing commonly used plasticizers in poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, formulations by new compounds with reduced migration, leading to the enhance- ment in mechanical properties and better plasticizing efficiency. Novel plasticizers have been divided into three groups depending on the replacement strategy, i.e., total replacement, partial replacement, and internal plasticizers. Chemical and physical properties of PVC formulations containing a wide range of plasticizers have been compared, allowing observance of the improvements in polymer per- formance in comparison to PVC plasticized with conventionally applied bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-n-octyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate and di-n-octyl terephthalate. Among a variety of newly developed plasticizers, we have indicated those presenting excellent migration resistance and advantageous mechanical properties, as well as those derived from natural sources. A separate chapter has been dedicated to the description of a synergistic effect of a mixture of two plasticizers, primary and secondary, that benefits in migration suppression when secondary plasticizer is added to PVC blend. -

The complexes were mixed separately with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) to improve its photo-stability properties. Their activity was demonstrated by several approaches of the FTIR to exhibit the formation of new groups within the polymer structure due to the exposure to UV light. Moreover, the polymer’s weight loss during irradiation and the average molecular weight estimation using its viscosity before and after irradiation were investigated. Furthermore, different techniques were used to study the surface morphology of the PVC before and after irradiation. -
Polyvinylchloride, Phthalates and Packaging
Page 29 | Bulletin 86 | July 2014 Polyvinylchloride, phthalates and packaging Plastics are synthetic resins, are either thermosetting or thermoplastic. Thermoplastic resins can be re-softened by heating, and include polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinylchloride (PVC) which is very widely used in disposable medical devices.

A. I~¢[AKLAKOV, A. N. TEMlqIKOV and B. F. TEPLOV V. I. Lenin State University, Kazan V. A. Kargin Polymer Chemistry and Technology Research Institute J (Received 22 August 1977) It was found that the rotational motion of plasticizer molecules in the polymer matrix is hindered, the degree of hindrance differing for different molecules. With " use of the data on the dibutyl phthalate (DBP) autodiffusion it" was possible to evaluate the lifetime of the PVC-plasticizer solvates. This lifetime is a function of the amount of small molecules and of temperature. The solvatation in these systems is of the dynamic type. The "free" plasticizer is absent in samples containing 30-52 wt. °/o DBP. The measurements were made by the pulse NMR method. SEVERAL investigations have been reported in connection with the state of plasticizer molecules introduced into polymer [1]. However, the problem has yet to be fully resolved. In some cases use of the NMR method allows separate evalua- tion of the mobility of macromolecules and molecules of a low molecular substance and it appears that the use of NMR may provide additional information on the mode of behaviour of molecules of components forming part of plasticized sys- tems.
