Comprehensive Inorganic Chemical Analysis

Anderson Materials Evaluation specializes in inorganic chemical analysis and characterization. We accurately determine the purity, structure, surface properties, and physical form of inorganic chemicals. Whether used as standalone materials, mixtures, treatments, or fillers in polymer products, our analyses ensure precise results.

Applications and Uses

Inorganic chemicals are critical in various industries:

• Plastics, Paints, Sealants, and Adhesives: Fillers and additives.
• Glass and Ceramics: Raw materials.
• Water Filtration: Materials like magnesia.
• Food Additives: Silica, calcium carbonate, sodium metasilicate.
• Construction Materials: Concrete, mortar, grout, plaster additives.
• Chemical Sensors and Separation Columns: Essential components.
• Coatings and Fire Retardants: Including aluminum trihydrate and antimony oxide.

Analytical Techniques

We employ advanced techniques for inorganic chemical testing:

• WD-XRF (Wavelength-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence)
  • Quantifies elements from sodium and heavier.
  • Detects low concentration elements down to 10 ppm.
• X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
  • Identifies crystalline materials.
  • Measures mixed crystalline materials and impurities.
• XPS (X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)
  • Surface chemistry analysis.
  • Differentiates surface and interior chemistry.
• TGA (Thermogravimetry)
  • Measures decomposition temperature and weight loss.
• DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry)
  • Determines melting temperature and heat of fusion.
• SEM/EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy / Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy)
  • Analyzes surface morphology and particle sizes.
• FTIR (Infrared Spectroscopy)
  • Detects organic and inorganic compounds.
• Keyence 3D Optical Microscopy
  • Determines particle size, shape, and chemical phases.

Compliance with ASTM Test Methods

• ASTM E793: Enthalpies of Fusion and Crystallization.
• ASTM E794: Melting and Crystallization Temperatures.
• ASTM E1131: Compositional Analysis by Thermogravimetry
