Analysis of Ethylene Vinylacetate (EVA) Copolymer by Double-shot Pyrolyzer PY-2020D

Introduction

Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography (Py-GC) is employed as a rapid and highly sensitive method for analyzing polymers. Using the furnaces with the temprature programing function thermal extraction analysis of trace amounts of residual monomers and oligomers in polymer compounds has become possible. This Application News introduces an analysis system that combines the GC/MS with a double-shot pyrolyzer (Frontier Laboratories Ltd.), which is capable of programed heating. The PY-2020D Double-Shot Pyrolyzer is capable of three analytical modes. (1) Single-Shot Mode (Flash Pyrolysis) (2) Double-Shot Mode (Multi-Step Pyrolysis) (3) Evolved Gas Analysis Mode
