GC-MS/MS

Unknown Volatiles & Decomposition

GC-MS
  • 3 GC-MS systems
  • 2 multidetector systems (FID/MSD): simultaneous collection of FID signal and MSD signal for both qualitative and quantitative analysis
TD/Py GC-MS
  • Product deformulation
  • Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA): 50°C - 1000°C
  • Identification of unknown base resins
  • Complimentary to TGA
  • Thermal Desorption/Pyrolysis (TD/Py): 50°C - 1000°C
  • Identification of off-gassing at various temperatures
Headspace GC/GCMS
  • Analysis of volatiles in solid and liquid samples: Ambient - 300°
  • FID and MSD detection for qualitative and quantitative measurements

Headspace GC/GCMS

Ion Quantification

IC
  • Quantification of residual ionic species that are extractable into aqueous medium
  • Chloride, fluoride, sulfide, acetate, methane sulfonate, etc.

Combustion IC (CIC)

  • Quantification of total ionic species that are generated upon combustion of polymeric material
  • Typically chloride and fluoride

Ion Chromatrography

Molecular Weight Distribution 

GPC
  • 6 instruments each dedicated to a polymer type (mostly RI detection, but some UV/Vis)
High Temp GPC (HTGPC)
  • For chemically resistant materials
  • Capable of temps from ambient up to 220°C
Multi-Detector GPC
  • Used for non-routine analyses
  • Dual angel LS, RI, and Viscometry
  • Can be used for traditional GPC and also for measurement of absolute molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity to gain insight into conformational characteristics and other properties of polymers
