The ASTM D2152 acetone test assesses PVC fusion by exposing the pipe surface to acetone solvent. It is generally easier to pass than the DCM test and is suitable where a less gelled melt is necessary for venting air during extrusion.
Comparison with DCM Test
The acetone test is less stringent, making it appropriate for certain processing conditions where achieving higher gelation is challenging.
