Chromatographic methods (GC/MS, GLC, HPLC) are used for:
- identification and determination of stabilisers and other additives in plastics as well as their transformation products (PP, PE, ABS, polystyrene, polycarbonates, PVC)
- analyses of deposits formed during plastics processing
- identification of bad odour volatile organic compounds using head-space technique technique (static and dynamic) in connection with closed loop stripping analysis and head-space analysis with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy
- determination of trace impurities in monomers (CO, CO2, AsH3, PH3, H2S, COS, mercaptans, alcohols, ketones)
- determination of residual monomers and other volatile compounds in plastics using head-space technique with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (closed loop static and dynamic stripping analysis)
- analyses of oils, waxes, solvents and emulsifiers
- analyses of paint thinners
- gas analyses
- water analyses
