High Purity Aromatics Testing
The testing of high purity aromatics is crucial in industries where even trace impurities can significantly impact product quality and performance. This service involves the analysis and evaluation of aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene (BTX), and xylenes, which are critical components in the production of petrochemicals and chemical products.
Our approach ensures that these materials meet stringent purity standards set by international norms. This includes compliance with ISO 16089-2:2017 for benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) in petroleum products; ASTM D86 for distillation and vapor pressure of petroleum products; and EN 15433:2016+A1:2018 for BTX in gasoline.
The testing process begins with the careful selection and preparation of samples. Depending on the specific requirements, samples may need to be filtered or concentrated before analysis. Our laboratory utilizes advanced analytical techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to ensure precise measurement.
Our team of experts ensures that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions to minimize the risk of contamination, ensuring accurate results. The final report includes detailed information on the purity levels of each component tested, along with any detected impurities and their concentrations. This data is invaluable for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams.
By adhering to these rigorous standards, we provide clients with reliable data that can be used to enhance product performance, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
