Present testing methods of comparing dryblend and fusion characteristics of poly (vinyl chloride) address resin interchange, but not plasticizer interchange. The wide range of available plasticizers requires methodology to predict plasticizer performance from a processing viewpoint. Modification of the test parameters reported in this study makes it possible to predict how plasticizer interchange affects processing under dynamic conditions.
