Comprehensive Paper, Packaging Materials, and Wood Analysis
Our Paper Testing, Packaging Materials Analysis, and Wood Testing services encompass a wide range of techniques to address your specific needs:
- Metallographic / Optical Microscopy / SEM: Examine surface texture, fiber orientation, and detect foreign particles.
- UV-Vis Reflectivity: Measure reflectivity, color properties, and gloss.
- XPS Analysis: Identify surface elemental composition, chemical nature of stains, and analyze coatings and contaminants.
- FTIR Analysis: Identify organic coatings, fibers, inks, and brightening agents.
- GC-MS (Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectroscopy): Identify organic chemicals in coatings, residues, inks, adhesives, and packaging materials.
- Wavelength-Dispersive XRF: Quantitatively measure elements, detect heavy elements, and analyze fire-retardant additives.
- X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Measure crystallinity of polymers and identify inorganic particles.
- Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): Measure water content, coating weight, outgassing, and inorganic solids content.
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC): Measure glass transition temperature, melting temperature, and thermal expansion.
- RGA Mass Spectroscopy: Measure outgassing, desorbed vapors, and combustion products.
- Profilometry / Surface Roughness and Microscopy: Measure surface roughness, detect defects, and map 3D topography.
ASTM Test Methods for Paper, Packaging Materials, and Wood Analysis
We adhere to industry standards such as ASTM E96 for water vapor transmission to ensure the highest quality in our analysis.
