Interested in a cost-effective solution to a traditional FT-IR microscope?

Engineered plastic components are ubiquitous in modern
society. Plastics have the advantage of lowering cost,
reducing parts count and weight, and providing ultimate
industrial design flexibility as complicated functional
shapes can be easily produced. 

The analysis of contaminants in engineered plastics
is important for aesthetics or functional acceptance.
Timely identification of contaminants can increase the
production yield and quality of the components

This application note, compliments of Czitek, describes  FT-IR microanalysis of visible contaminants in injection molded plastic parts. It is intended for users of FT-IR systems, and applications involving the analysis of samples as small as 30–50 microns.
