Notes:
The partition or equilibrium distribution of vinylchloride between a polymer phase (polyvinylchloride) and a contacting phase (food simulants) has been determined using n-hexane, distilled water and vegetable oil as the food simulants. The results from the respective polyvinylchloride (unplasticized)-food simulating systems showed a concentration dependent, nonlinear distribution of monomer, in favor of the polymer, with decreasing initial levels of vinylchloride for n-hexane and vegetable oil. For the unplasticized polyvinylchloride-water system, the partition coefficient was also concentration dependent but linear. The partition coefficient was constant with respect to initial monomer concentration for plasticized polyvinylchloride and the food simulants.
