Analysis of plasticizers in toys
Plasticizers are chemical compounds added to polymers, mainly PVC (polyvinyl chloride) to make them flexible and soft to the touch. PVC is one of the polymers most widely used in the manufacture of toys. The plasticizers most frequently used are orthophthalic acid esters, commonly known as phthalates. According to technical Read more…

Identification of combustion products
Upon burning, many materials release toxic substances that may be harmful to the environment. To enable the identification of substances generated by combustion, the material is subjected to pyrolysis at a controlled temperature varying from 300 to 900ºC, and the resulting combustion products are separated by gas chromatography and identified Read more…

Identification of volatile organic contaminants in various materials
Solvents, dilutants and dispersants are chemical products that can dissolve other materials and which may consist of a single chemical substance or a mixture of several substances, normally volatile and flammable. Volatile substances are easily inhaled and may be introduced into the body through breathing through the mouth or nose, Read more…
