Standard Test Method for Plastic-Coated Fabrics—Completeness of Fusion of PVC Dispersion Coatings

Importancia y uso:

3.1 Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is applied to coated fabrics as a dispersion of PVC particles in a liquid vehicle. During the processing of the fabric the PVC is fused or melted to produce a uniform film on the fabric. This test measures whether the PVC is converted, fused, or melted to produce a homogeneous film.

3.2 This conversion process is a melting of the crystallite structures in the polymer particles followed by solution of the molten polymer in the plasticizing vehicle. Fusion is important in the production of PVC-coated fabrics.
