Abstract

This study presents a method for the quantitative analysis of residual vinyl chloride monomer (VCM)in PVC products. In elution solvent, the extraction efficiency was similar by ethanol, THF, and acetone, but using n-hexane, it indicated relatively low extraction efficiency. Measuring VCM in the pulverized PVC samples, it showed reasonable results in both the direct injection method and headspace method with GC/MS. Regarding analysis of VCM in the intermediate sponge samples, five laboratories showed good results, and from the results, it was considered that VCM quantitative method in this study was reliable.
