Vinyl chloride is an organic compound that is gaseous at room temperature, characterized by its condensable and pungent odor. This substance is highly toxic but is used in the production of many substances, especially hydrochloric acid. Same time It is a chemical compound used in the production of plastics such as PVC and known to be carcinogenic.

Polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as PVC, is a plastic with a wide range of uses. It is one of the most valuable products in the chemical sector. PVC is also used as upholstery material in textile sector. In the meantime, PVC is a plastic that is recyclable.

Directive 80 / 766 / EEC issued by the European Union involves controlling the level of vinyl chloride monomer in products intended for contact with foodstuffs.

The most harmful product related to human health in the plastic group is PVC. This substance releases dioxin into the environment. Dioxin disrupts the immune system, causes various cancers, causes hormonal imbalance and causes cardiovascular problems.

Polyester fibers, which are frequently used in the textile sector, are ultimately a plastic product and the determination of vinyl chloride in these products is an important issue for human health and environmental safety.

Vinyl chloride tests and analyzes are carried out in the laboratories accredited according to the TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard, which is one of the national and international accreditation organizations, within the scope of chemical and ecological tests and textile products. During these studies, many standards published by domestic and foreign organizations are taken into consideration. Here are a few of them:

• TS EN ISO 6401 Plastics - Vinyl chloride homopolymer and copolymer resins - Determination of vinyl chloride monomer residue - Gas chromatographic method
• 64 LFGB B 80.32.1 Determination of vinyl chloride monomer content in products
