Metrohm’s new Application Bulletin presents some examples of NIR applications and feasibility studies using NIRSystems in the polymer industry.
Each application of the 123 presented here briefly describes the measuring system as well as the recommended instruments and the study results.
Due to NIR analysis requiring no sample preparation and being nondestructive, many polymer and plastic attributes can be measured rapidly inline, online, atline or offline for qualitative as well as quantitative parameters. NIR spectroscopy is sensitive to the O-H bond absorption, therefore hydroxyl number determination is a common application.
