Overview

EN ISO 24024-2:2021 - Plastics: Homopolymer and copolymer resins of vinyl chloride - Part 2 - specifies how to prepare test samples and which test methods to use when determining the properties of PVC resins (polyvinyl chloride). Published by CEN and identical to ISO 24024-2:2021, this standard sets requirements for handling, conditioning and characterization of PVC resins used in powders, pastes and filled systems. It replaces EN ISO 1060-2 and is part of the ISO 24024 series for vinyl chloride resins.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and purpose: Defines methods for sample preparation, conditioning and selection of test procedures necessary to characterize PVC homopolymers and copolymers.
  • Sampling: Samples must be representative and large enough to produce required test specimens to ensure reproducibility and comparability.
  • Standard paste formulations: Two designation pastes are defined:
    • Formulation A: 100 parts resin + 60 parts bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DOP) - preferred.
    • Formulation B: 100 parts resin + 100 parts DOP - used when A is unsuitable (e.g., >35 °C during preparation or paste formation fails).
  • DOP quality limits (when measured at 20 °C):
    • Density: 0.982–0.984 g/cm³
    • Refractive index: 1.486–1.487
    • Dynamic viscosity: 77–83 mPa·s
  • Conditioning: Test samples must be conditioned according to the test method or product specification prior to testing.
  • Property determination: Lists required test methods and presentation formats for properties such as apparent density, compacted bulk density, impurities, sieve analysis, plasticizer absorption, pourability, chlorine content, pH of aqueous extract, volatile matter, reduced viscosity, ash, residual monomer and paste viscosities.

Practical applications and users

This standard is essential for:

  • PVC resin manufacturers - for product specification, quality control and batch release testing.
  • Testing laboratories - to ensure consistent sample preparation and to select correct test methods (e.g., ISO 4612, ISO 11468 for paste preparation; ISO 4608, ISO 4610, ISO 1624 for sieve and absorption tests).
  • R&D and formulation engineers - for comparative evaluation of resin grades and processing performance.
  • Specifiers and procurement teams - to define contract test requirements and acceptance criteria.
  • Regulatory and certification bodies - for harmonized test methods and reporting.

Benefits include improved comparability of test data, consistent paste preparation for viscosity measurements, and standardized conditioning procedures that reduce variability in material characterization.

Related standards

EN ISO 24024-2 references and aligns with numerous ISO methods used to characterize PVC resins, including:

  • ISO 4612, ISO 11468 (paste preparation)
  • ISO 60, ISO 1068, ISO 1624, ISO 4610 (density and sieve tests)
  • ISO 2555, ISO 3219, ISO 4575 (viscosity and rheology)
  • ISO 1158, ISO 1269, ISO 3451-5, ISO 6401 (chemical and residual monomer tests)

Using EN ISO 24024-2:2021 ensures standardized, reproducible evaluation of PVC resin properties across manufacture, testing and specification workflows.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
