Packaging
To prevent excessive amounts of residual solvents (VOCs) in the final packaging of material products, whose presence would seriously compromise their quality, an efficient on-line control over the whole process is required.
Rapid headspace analysis of VOCs in packaging materials is performed using a Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra equipped with the Ultra Fast Module option (UFM). GC analysis of various residual solvents in different packaging materials was achieved in only 1-2 minutes with a 10 20 fold increase with respect to conventional GC methods. The analysis time is compatible with the production flow rate of the packaging material.
