  • Which plasticizer is present in Plasticized PVC tubings?
  • The majority plasticizer present in the PVC and PVC coextruded with PE, PU and SEBS was TOTM. As shown in Table 5, TOTM was quantified in the PVC tubings and coextruded PVC and its migration was estimated. Percentages of TOTM in plasticized PVC tubings were not statistically different from those in the external PVC layer of coextruded tubings.
  • Do medical tubings in plasticized polyvinylchloride cause content-container interactions?
  • Medical tubings in plasticized polyvinylchloride (pVc) are widely used for the infusion of medications but are known in some cases to cause content-container interactions (drug sorption and plasticizer release).
  • Is plasticizer leaching a problem in PVC based IV tubings?
  • Even though the sorption issue has been known for a long time, the mechanisms involved during this phenomenon are not completely elucidated. Moreover when using PVC based IV tubings, plasticizer leaching is a major concern.
  • Which plasticizer is present in PVC tubings & coextruded with PE PU & SEBS?
  • Plasticizer migration. e majority plasticizer present in the PVC and PVC coextruded with PE, PU and SEBS was TOTM. As shown in Table 5, TOTM was quantied in the PVC tubings and coextruded PVC and its migration was estimated.
  • Does a coextruded inner layer of polyethylene reduce plasticizer release 19?
  • Recently, our research team has shown that the addition of a coextruded inner layer of polyethylene (PE) in PVC infusion tubings appears to reduce plasticizer release 19, but the effect of other coextruded materials like polyurethane on plasticizer release has not yet been studied.
  • What is a PVC IV tubing?
  • Table 1 Description of IV-tubings (PVC: Polyvinylchloride; PE: Polyethylene; PU: Polyurethane; SEBS: Styrene-Ethylenebutadiene-Styrene; TPO: Thermoplastic olefin) For PVC, PVC/PE, PVC/PU and PVC/SEBS, the PVC matrix was plasticized with plasticizer tris (2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TOTM) (manufacturer information).
