A New Perspective on Hydrogen Chloride Scavenging at High Temperatures for Reducing the Smoke Acidity of PVC in Fires—III: EN 60754-2 and the Species in Solution Affecting pH and C... by Iacopo Bassi, Claudia Bandinelli, Francesca Delchiaro, Gianluca Sarti

“…In order to design proper HCl scavengers to be used in PVC low-smoke acidity compounds, it becomes essential to evaluate the main actors affecting acidity and conductivity. In this paper, different cable PVC compounds were tested carrying out EN 60754-2 at different temperatures and temperature regimes: measurements of pH and conductivity were compared with ions’ concentration determined by ion chromatography, according to ISO 10304-1 and ISO 14911 for anions and cations, and inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry, according to ISO 11885. …”
