Anderson Materials Evaluation (AME) provides comprehensive analytical services tailored for the chemical industry. We specialize in analyzing both surface and bulk chemical properties of solid inorganic and organic chemicals using a variety of advanced techniques:

• Surface Analysis: XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), wavelength-dispersive XRF (X-ray Fluorescence), SEM/EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy)
• Spectroscopy: FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), UV-VIS (Ultraviolet-Visible) Spectroscopy
• Thermal Analysis: TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry)
• Other Techniques: Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), optical microscopy (Keyence 3D, metallographic, inspection), contact angle measurements

For liquids, we employ FTIR spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, TGA, DSC, density measurements, surface energy analysis, and analysis of solid residues post-liquid evaporation. We specialize in providing quantitative elemental and chemical composition analysis of the outer 10 nm of solid chemical materials such as powders, sol-gels, catalysts, and adhesive/sealant interfaces.

Capabilities:

• Contamination and Impurity Detection: Using various analytical techniques
• Water and Volatile Content Analysis: For paints, insecticides, plastics, adhesives, and sealants
• Residue Identification: Including weighing and characterization
• Degradation Mechanisms and Shelf-life Studies: Determining chemical reaction pathways and stability

We serve a diverse range of chemical industry customers across consumer goods and industrial applications. Among our valued clients are Monsanto, Henkel, Huntsman, ExxonMobil Chemical, and Cristal Global (now Tronox).
