Fast Analysis of VOCs in Polystyrene Using a Capillary Backflush GC System

Introduction

Residual organic solvents in food packaging materials is a problem that receives serious attention because of the implications to food safety. GC Application News No. G264 addressed this issue, presenting an example of fast analysis of acrylonitrile in ABS polymer using a backflush GC system. Polystyrene (PS) is widely used in food packaging materials. In this Application News, we introduce an example of fast analysis of residual volatile organic solvents in polystyrene using a backflush GC system.
