Polymers & Plastics: How to Reduce Costs while meeting stringent Consumer Safety requirements with XRF

X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry enables rapid and non-destructive elemental analysis. In the polymers and plastics industry, it fulfills various tasks, helping to improve production processes, facilitating final product quality control, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards such as RoHS and toy safety (DIN EN 71).

To allow for cost-efficient production while meeting product performance specifications, additives need to be sufficiently pure and used sparsely. Here, XRF plays an important role by determining, e.g., the concentrations of stabilizers, filler materials, color additives, and flame retardants. The quantification of heavy metals which are restricted in plastics due to their toxicity is another task for XRF.

In this live online seminar our experts will explain what XRF can do for you! We will discuss common use cases, show how to operate our spectrometers, and provide valuable tips & tricks. Our experts will answer your questions during our Q&A session.
