  • What is plasticizer migration?
  • Plasticizer migration refers to the process when plasticizer chemicals within vinyl, plastic or rubber migrate out and are absorbed by surrounding materials. For example, a rubber mat may leave a yellowish stain where it made contact with a vinyl floor due to plasticizer migration.
  • What is plasticizer migration out of sheet vinyl?
  • Plasticizer migration out of sheet vinyl is something that is all too common in the flooring industry. The consequence of plasticizer migration is a range of floor compatibility issues and that can lead to both short-term and long-term problems.
  • What are the consequences of plasticizer migration?
  • The consequence of plasticizer migration is a range of floor compatibility issues and that can lead to both short-term and long-term problems. Flooring installers need to know about the causes and solutions for this probem so they can make sure the risk of problems are minimized.
  • How do you prevent plasticizer migration in sheet vinyl flooring?
  • To prevent plasticizer migration in sheet vinyl flooring, it's recommended to thoroughly prime and seal the sub flooring. Using a non-reactive floor sealant is also a good idea, as it will neutralize any kind of plasticizer migration. Plasticizer migration can occur over time, but pressure and heat can speed up the process.
  • Does plasticizer migration affect adhesive performance?
  • Plasticizer migration can cause other additives to migrate too. Typical examples of these additives are UV stabilisers or Anti-Oxidants.
