PVC CONTENT IN A PVC/ABS BLEND BY IRTF

The principle consists in measuring the band height of the C-Cl bond of the PVC which is a function of the quantity of PVC deposited on the spectrometer. A calibration is carried out with known PVC/ABS mixtures (pure PVC, pure ABS, Blend of known content, etc.) during which an IRTF spectrum of a known quantity of standard is produced and the height of the stretch band is measured C-Cl (615 cm-1) and plot H (abs) = a. %PVC. Secondly, a deposit of a known mass of the sample with an unknown PVC content is made. The height of its band at 615 cm-1 directly gives the PVC content. This technique works with many mixtures of homopolymers or copolymers provided that at least one spectral band specific to one or more of them can be identified. to the other of the two matrices.
