FTIR Analysis Service

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to identify mainly organic materials. FTIR analysis results in an absorption spectra which provides information about the chemical bonds and molecular structure of a material. The FTIR spectrum is equivalent to the "fingerprint" of the material and can be compared with cataloged FTIR spectra to identify the material. A few examples of common materials identified by FTIR are:

  • Common Household Items
    • Cleansers and Detergents
    • Baking Powders and Ingredients
    • Paints
    • Oils
    • Paper
    • Medications
  • Plastics
    • Thermosets (hard plastic)
    • Elastomers (rubber)
    • Thermoplastics (polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene (PS))
  • Liquids
    • Oils
    • Food Products
    • Gels
  • Fibers
    • Synthetic Fibers (acrylic, nylon, polyester, rayon)
    • Natural Fibers (cotton, silk, wood)
  • Adhesives
    • Glue
    • Epoxy
    • Resin
