Compression‐molded sheets of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were prepared to investigate plasticizer migration phenomena into paraffin oil environment. Interest is focused on prior sample history: Specimens from sheets of different dioctyl phthalate (DOP) contents are maintained in the liquid medium until the plasticizer concentration drops to a predetermined value. Then they are switched into “fresh” paraffin oil, at the same immersion temperature, to compare long‐term migration behavior with that of new sheets of this predetermined plasticizer content, i.e., excluding the prior desorption cycle. The results obtained reveal restriction of the migration activity for the two‐stages specimens.
