ISO 6427 Plastics, Standard Test for Determination of Extractable Substances with Organic Solvents

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 6427 standard. ISO 6427 specifies methods for the determination of components in plastics that can be extracted with hot organic liquids near their boiling point. For a special case, a so-called cold extraction method is given.

Extractable components are monomers, oligomers, polymers, plasticizers, stabilizers, etc. it could be. The type and percentage of extractable material affects the properties of plastics.

The recommended extraction liquid depends on the type of plastic and the purpose of the determination. The amounts of particular components extracted are generally not quantitative in the sense of analytical chemistry.

This international standard does not apply to plastics that come into contact with food or drinking water. Special regulations have been established for these plastics in many countries.

In most cases, methods other than those given in this international standard are used to test plastics for compliance with these regulations. The methods of this international standard are not intended to be used for migration tests.

There are very similar national and international standards for determining the percentage of extractables, with only minor differences in procedures. In order to facilitate the work of laboratory personnel who have to make these determinations in various plastic products, generally applicable methods are described in this international standard.
