scope:

Specifies a method for determining plasticizer absorption at room temperature. It is applicable to PVC general-purpose resins (designated "G" in ISO 1060-1). The object of the test is to determine the quantity of plasticizer absorbed by a resin at room temperature to give a dry mixture. The results give a general indication of the plasticizer absorption of the resins at room temperature. They indicate the usefulness of resins for the manufacture of plasticized dry blends, particularly when taken in conjunction with the results of plasticizer absorption tests under hot conditions.
