Heritage PVC Objects: Understanding the Diffusion-Evaporation of Plasticizers
Polymer Degradation and Stability
In: Polymer Degradation and Stability, vol. 235, article 111270, 2025.
Editorial summary
This study investigates how plasticizers migrate through and evaporate from historic PVC objects, combining material characterization with diffusion-evaporation analysis relevant to conservation. FLEC was not used in the reported experiments; the reference list cites the established FLEC airflow study of DEHP emission from vinyl flooring.
