Quantitative DEHP Analysis in Heat-Resistant PVC Using TD-GC/MS
Quantitative Analysis of DEHP in Heat-Resistant PVC Using ASTM D7823-14 Introduction to DEHP Analysis in PVC Phthalate esters are commonly used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formulations to improve flexibility, processability, and performance. However, several phthalates have been identified as substances of concern, resulting in restrictions or regulatory controls in different regions. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate…
