Reverse Engineering and Quality Control via FTIR

Organic product development is very costly both in time and resources. By analyzing comparable products available in the marketplace, considerable savings can be realized. Also, product imperfections and failures can occur at any point in the production process. Being able to precisely characterize product defects can be most helpful in determining the source of the defect. Quality issues also need to be addressed in a non-destructive manner.

FTIR is a non-destructive analytical tool that is ideal for the rapid identification of materials and compounds. The latest advances in FTIR instrumentation and applications will be reviewed in this webinar with a thorough discussion of the following topics:

Fast identification of unknown chemicals
Additives and contaminations in polymers
Reverse engineering of competitor products

Key Webinar Takeaways:

Identify the chemical composition of unknown compounds
Analyze bulk polymers and multilayer polymer films
Examine defects and other quality issues with your product
