FTIR Analysis

FTIR analysis, commonly used to give quick and effective answers to chemical questions, uses light rays to detect and measure basic types of materials. Our experts use this method for applications ranging from research and development to failure analysis.

FTIR analysis is a widely used tool for liquid and polymeric materials such as paints and coatings, elastomers and plastics, residues and contaminants. FTIR analysis, generally accepted as the first step in research chemistry, provides a basic, qualitative type of material to identify unknown substances if little is known about the properties of a material.

Performing FTIR Analysis

FTIR analysis uses infrared light to examine a material, measure the amount of light absorbed and the amount of reflected light to identify unique chemical patterns and determine the type of material. After the analysis is complete, our specialists will provide you with a report on the key features of your samples.

FTIR analysis provides an effective and effective way to identify unknown substances, assist in material selection and investigation, and assist in failure investigations. If additional research is required, we can assist by providing additional analytical services.

Additional Chemical Analysis Techniques

Since FTIR analysis provides a high level of quantitative results, additional chemical analysis techniques are sometimes needed to ensure a material is chemically decomposed. Using our global network of chemistry experts and our most advanced analysis equipment, we can provide a complete suite of analysis methods to answer your most difficult questions, often in the same place.

Some of the additional analysis techniques we offer include:

• Mass Spectroscopy
• X-ray diffraction
• GC/MS,
• Thermal analysis techniques

FTIR analysis is a powerful tool to find sources of contamination, identify unknown substances, and assist larger chemical research. Contact us today for more information about our services or to request a quote.
