Deformulation and Failure Analysis of Polymers using Pyrolysis-GC/MS 

Join us on Tuesday, March 23rd for a webinar on polymer deformulation and failure analysis applications. When subtle differences in polymer formulations lead to quality issues, Pyrolysis-GC/MS enables quick and efficient material characterization. 

Key webinar takeaways:  

• Observe a step-by-step analytical protocol for deformulation and failure analysis of two rubber pump diaphragms.   
• Learn how the micro-furnace Pyrolysis-GC/MS technique enables quick and efficient characterization of polymer and additive materials while performing detailed failure analysis.   
• A strategic “chemical method map” approach is also described using multiple modes of the micro-furnace pyrolyzer for performing deformulation analysis on different types of samples.
