Detect PVC in Products with High Sensitivity: Protect Consumer Health and Meet Regulatory Standards.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a commonly used plastic that often contains high levels of phthalates, which are associated with health risks, particularly in children. In many countries, the presence of PVC in children’s products such as toys and erasers is strictly regulated. At LCS Laboratory, we offer precise testing to detect PVC content, ensuring your products comply with safety standards and protect consumer health.
Why PVC Testing Matters
Testing for PVC is critical to ensuring the safety of products intended for children and general consumers. Soft PVC often contains phthalates, which can leach out over time and pose potential health risks, including endocrine disruption and developmental issues in children. Regulatory agencies worldwide impose strict limits on PVC and phthalates in consumer products. By testing for PVC, you can:
- Demonstrate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
- Enhance consumer trust in your products.
- Minimise liability risks associated with non-compliant products.
Our Testing Process
At LCS Laboratory, we use a highly sensitive and accurate method to detect PVC content in polymer materials. Our process includes:
- Sample Preparation: A 50-gram sample of your material is required to conduct the test. The material must be insoluble in organic solvents for our method to apply.
- PVC Extraction: The PVC is carefully extracted from the sample using advanced techniques.
- Analysis with FTIR: The extracted material is analysed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify and quantify PVC content.
- Detailed Reporting: Results are reported with a sensitivity of 0.1% by weight, ensuring precise data for regulatory compliance.
Who Should Use This Test?
This test is ideal for manufacturers, importers, and quality assurance professionals in the toy, stationery, and consumer product industries. Whether you are looking to comply with regulations or verify the safety of your products, our PVC detection service provides reliable results you can trust.
