Multi-parameter analysis of polymers with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) – Faster quality control along the production cycle of bulk material to final product

To this day, manufacturers of plastics and polymers rely for the most part on physical and wet chemical methods to monitor the quality of their product. Due to the time consuming nature of these methods and the infrastructure (laboratory) and costs (chemicals, consumables) involved, these methods can negatively impact the productivity of the polymer process. Metrohm offers NIR solutions for fast and reliable routine quality control of feedstock, intermediates, and final products in the polymer industry. Metrohm NIR solutions require no chemicals for analysis, can be directly applied in the quality control process by anyone. The reliable results of crucial chemical and physical properties are provided in a matter of seconds.
