Resilient floor coverings - Determination of exudation of plasticizers
Also Known As:
A method for evaluating plasticizer exudation in resilient floor coverings, specifically polyvinyl chloride (PVC) floor coverings, is described in DIN EN 665. Chemicals called plasticizers are added to PVC to make it more flexible and perform better. These plasticizers, however, have the ability to move out of the floor covering over time, raising possible environmental and health risks.
The standard offers a methodical way to assess the plasticizer exudation from PVC floor coverings. It details the tools and testing conditions needed to carry out the exudation test. In order to imitate real-world situations where plasticizers are likely to move, the process entails subjecting the PVC floor covering to certain circumstances, such as high temperatures and humidity.
Manufacturers and regulatory authorities can evaluate the possible release of plasticizers from PVC floor coverings by carrying out the exudation test in accordance with the procedures described in DIN EN 665. For resilient floor coverings to be safe and high-quality, as well as to adhere to all applicable laws and standards, this information is essential.
