Polymers generally contain various amounts of additives in the form of
antioxidants, UV-stabilizers, plasticizers, and lubricants. The presence
or absence of additives may be critical to the performance of a given product.
At Impact Analytical, we have the analytical methods in place to identify,
quantify, and monitor the concentration of unknown additives. Examples of
this application include:
- Distribution of additives in polymer matrices
- Identification and quantitation of polymer additives
- Additives in food packaging materials
- Inhibitors in monomers
