October 26, 2004
57TH CANADIAN GEOTECHNICAL CONFERENCE

This paper discusses the three mechanisms of plasticizer migration and the factors influencing these mechanisms, such as plasticizer molecular weight and linearity of plasticizers. The paper recommends that a minimum average plasticizer molecular weight of 400 be used to ensure long-term plasticizer retention in the field.
