Composition analysis

IR- Infra-red analysis- Nicolet 380 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA)

• Reveal the composition of solids and liquids
• Easy to use, sensitive and fast

Key applications:

• Material identification and verification
• Quality control processes for incoming and outgoing materials
• Copolymer and blend assessment
• Additive identification and quantification
• Contaminant identification
• Molecular degradation assessment

Thermogravimetric analysis TGA- Q50 by TA instruments.

The TGA is used to measure properties such as:

• Thermal stability of materials
• Oxidative stability of materials
• Composition of multi-component systems
• Estimated lifetime of a product
• Decomposition kinetics of materials
• Moisture and volatile contents for materials
