PVC Tube with Migration Barrier
Introduction

All plasticisers that are used in the production of PVC-tubes (e.g. DEHP, DINCH, TEHTM,…)  have migration potential
Long term results for the alternative plasticisers are missing.
The migration potential of new plasticisers like DINCH and TEHTM is higher then the migration of DEHP.












Experiment description
Tube samples of 1 m length were filled with isopropanol  and blood respectively and were moved into a Chandlerloop.
After various reaction periods the plasticiser concentration in the eluate was measured.
In order to prove the functional capability with different plasicisers, tubes containing DEHP and TEHTM were used.






Results
Results: Isopropanol as solvent

Efficiency of the migration barrier (Retention  of plasticisers):

Elution  time 30 min 60 min 120 min 240 min
DEHP 99,50% 99,60% 99,10% 98,80%
TOTM  99,75% 99,60% 99,40% 99,00%









Results
Results: Human blood as solvent



Efficiency of the migration barrier:
No significant increase of the plastiziser in the human blood








Summary
PVC Tubes with barrier:
-Reduce the migration of plasticisers by more than 99 %, even when strong solvents (like Iso-propanol) are used -
-Show no significant increase of plasticisers in the human blood
