Modern Bench-top Elemental Analysis Tools to Streamline Polymer Characterization and Development

Development and production of polymers and plastics requires rigorous quality control. This includes raw materials, additives, stabilizers, intermediate and finished products. Analyzing their behavior during molding and the product lifetime evaluation is essential to ensure the quality of plastics. Chemical and elemental composition of plastics and polymers is tightly connected with their specific characteristics and their chemical, physical, and mechanical properties.

Research scientists and lab managers are shifting towards alternatives to their larger, expensive analysis tools. Enhanced bench-top elemental analysis instruments are providing insights into polymer material characterization, while delivering lab space savings and a lower cost of ownership.

In this webinar, you will learn how modern bench-top elemental analysis tools such as EDXRF, WDXRF, XRD, X-Ray Microscopy, and CHNSO are enhancing and streamlining polymer manufacturing workflow; from R&D to QA/QC. See examples from each of these techniques and learn how they are providing savings in time, resources and investment.

Key Webinar Takeaways: 

• Discover the latest instruments for elemental analysis in the lab. 
• Learn which products can address your applications. 
• Identify alternative elemental instrumentation and analytical methods that may help streamline your Quality Control and process control testing.
