Syfte
To quantitatively determine a polymer’s dissolution and extraction behaviour in water using a standardized method under controlled laboratory conditions.
Metod
OECD 120 is a standardized test used to determine how much of a polymer dissolves or is extracted into water under controlled laboratory conditions. The test measures the concentration of polymer-related material that passes into the aqueous phase after contact with water.
Why is it important?
- Supports regulatory compliance and chemical registration requirements.
- Provides key data for environmental risk assessments
- Helps demonstrate whether a material is sufficiently water-soluble for applications such as microplastics assessments.
- Supports product development, quality control, and comparison of polymer formulations.
Typical application areas
- Polymer and plastics industry
- Water-soluble and biodegradable materials
- Packaging and coatings
- Environmental and regulatory studies
- PFAS-containing polymers and fluoropolymers
- Research and development of new materials
Our OECD 120 testing service provides reliable and internationally recognized data on polymer-water interactions, helping customers meet regulatory requirements and better understand the environmental behaviour of their materials
