Reliable identification and classification of raw polymer materials are essential for quality control and efficient processing.
Did you know that near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with advanced fiber-optic probes offers a powerful solution? This technique allows for rapid, non-destructive analysis outside the lab, making it possible to perform measurements right in the field or directly online.
art photonics' Diffuse Reflectance Fiber Optic Probes are designed for remote spectroscopy, collecting data needed for these demanding applications. The data is then processed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which enables the classification of various polymer raw materials, even when their spectra overlap.
Our latest application note demonstrates the successful classification of key polymers such as:
• Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
• Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Polycarbonate (PC)
• Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)
This capability makes near-infrared spectroscopy with fiber probes an optimal tool for developing robust Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and automated process control systems in the plastics industry.
To learn more about the methodology and results, please explore our new Application Note.
