Notes:
A DSC method for assessing degree of fusion of rigid PVC compounds has been improved, so as to make the technique more precise and objective. Analysis of conventional pipe samples provides assessments of gelation level that accord with solvent resistance and practical experience. However, thermal analysis techniques prove to be unreliable for compounds that contain no filler or more than about 13% filler. At least about 1% filler appears to be necessary for the phenomena that are the basis of this technique. Filler may affect crystallization of PVC compounds.
