Residual Solvents Analysis from Flexible Packaging Material using Brevis GC-2050

User Benefits

・The small-sized instrument reduces the occupied space in the laboratory. ・The automatic sampling system achieves easy operation in headspace sampler system HS-20 NX ・Nitrogen that is easy to obtain was employed as carrier gas.

Introduction

Flexible packaging material includes materials made with such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyolefin. They are widely utilized especially in food packing and containers. Manufacturing these materials involves a variety of organic solvents for printing and gluing, and thus, testing for these residual solvent is remarkably important especially for food relevant products. Gas chromatography (GC) with Headspace sampler (HS) is useful for this type of analysis because the residual solvents are highly volatile. This application news introduce the example of the residual solvents analysis in flexible packing materials with HS-20, referring the manual published from Flexible Packaging Hygiene Association.
