Polymer Analysis: Ensuring Quality and Consistency

Polymer Analysis: Ensuring Quality and Consistency

Today’s plastics are often complex systems comprising various polymers, fillers, plasticizers, and compatibilizers. By carefully selecting and blending these components, tailored materials with optimized properties are created. A key aspect of quality control and research is identifying and quantifying these individual components.

The compact ALPHA II FT-IR spectrometer, featuring the high-pressure Platinum diamond ATR-module, offers robust performance, affordability, and ease of use. When paired with the OPUS TOUCH software and an autonomous composition identifier, it ensures convenient and reliable analysis of polymer fillers and compatibilizers.

Autonomous Composition Identifier, or A.I.D.

Fast and reliable analysis function for complex mixtures and pure substances. The new Composition-ID function is a completely new designed spectra search tool for mixtures and pure components. It requires no input for the expected number of components, provides a multitude of results in one run and automatically selects the one that fits best.
