FTIR Material Analysis

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is one of the most versatile and widely used techniques in modern polymer science. By analysing how a material absorbs infrared light, FTIR provides a detailed molecular fingerprint, allowing for the identification of organic, polymeric, and in some cases, inorganic materials.

At PCL, we leverage this technique to support our customers with:

• Material verification – ensuring the supplied polymer matches the specification.
• Quality control checks – detecting contaminants or inconsistencies in batches.
• Failure analysis – investigating product or processing issues at a molecular level.
• Research and development – enabling smarter resin selection and benchmarking against alternatives.

To demonstrate our commitment to partnership, we provide FTIR analysis free of charge to our customers. Whether you’re troubleshooting an issue, validating a new supply, or ensuring compliance with standards, our FTIR service offers fast, accurate, and actionable insights to keep your production running smoothly and confidently.
