In our analytical laboratory, our new GC-MS (Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry) system enables the identification of organic compounds in our mixtures and provides chemical analysis of polymers and rubber. Additionally, thanks to the coupling of the GC system with a TGA device, we are able to perform Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA).

Examples of possible analyses include:

• Matrix polymer / polymer blend identification
• Determination of additives (e.g. plasticizers or antioxidants)
• Identification of vulcanization aids and accelerators
