Analysis on polymers
Marino performs analysis on polymers for quality control purposes and to identify unknown materials.
The analyses conducted by FT-IR allow us to:
- Define polymer classes
- Evaluate whether a compound is pure or a mixture of multiple polymers
- Evaluate the differences between different batches of the same raw material
