Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
CONT

One of the major problems facing the floor covering industry is plasticizer migration. That is, the movement of substance from one product into another product, so as to create a product deterioration. This product deterioration can take many forms such as: softening, cracking, blistering, peeling, de-lamination, loss of strength, etc.

DEF

Transfert, en général non souhaité, d'une matière d'un produit plastique à d'autres solides en contact.

CONT

La migration peut amener le produit en surface du matériau; il s'agit alors d'une exsudation. Il peut au contraire passer du matériau qui le contenait originellement dans un autre en contact avec le premier; c'est à ce dernier phénomène que s'applique plus particulièrement le mot «migration». La migration d'un adjuvant [...] peut avoir pour conséquence de graves pollutions.
