Organic Analysis and Chemical Deformulation

INTEGREX's expertise in organic analysis and chemical deformulation sets us apart from other inorganic analytical labs. We have a formidable background in material identification and the chemical deformulation of complex polymer systems, either associated with a glass product or on it's own.

Gases, liquids and solids can be characterized in a wide range of matrices. Our team has expertise with an array of instrumentation used in the analysis of polymers and additives.

Here is a short list of some of the materials we analyze:

• Polymers (PP, PE, Polyesters, PET, SBR, nylon, phenolic, acrylics, PVC, PVAc, urethane, neoprene, PS, PC, PVA, epoxies, cellulosics, silicones)
  
• Lubricants, Surfactants, Additives, Plasticizers, Antistatic Agents, Fire Retardants, Fillers, Coupling Agents
  
• Reinforcements
  
• Fibers (natural, synthetic)

Techniques include:

• Gas Chromatography (GC)
  
• Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography (PGC)
  
• High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
  
• Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC)
  
• Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
  
• Pyrolysis GC-MS
  
• Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR)
  
• Near-IR
  
• Microscopic FT-IR (reflectance and transmittance)
  
• UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis)
  
• Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA); up to 1200oC
  
• TGA-IR
  
• TGA/FT-IR
  
• Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR)
  
• Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
  
• Ion Chromatography (IC)
