Plastic Residue Contaminant Analysis
The analysis of plastic residue contaminants is crucial in maintaining product integrity and ensuring compliance with international standards. This service focuses on identifying and quantifying plastic residues within various materials, including food packaging, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and industrial products. Quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals rely on this analysis to safeguard the safety of their products from potential contamination.
The presence of plastic residues in non-plastic materials can lead to serious health risks if ingested or used in contact with food or pharmaceuticals. Regulatory bodies like FDA (US), EC (EU), and others have stringent requirements for such contaminants, which must be adhered to ensure product safety. This service ensures that your products meet these stringent standards.
The process involves several steps: sample collection, preparation, analysis using advanced spectroscopic techniques, and reporting of results. The goal is not only to identify the presence of plastic residues but also to quantify their levels accurately. This helps in making informed decisions about product formulation, sourcing, and manufacturing processes.
Our laboratory adheres to international standards such as ISO 17025 for method validation and ISO/IEC 17020 for accreditation, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and reliability in our test results. The analysis covers a wide range of plastics including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and more.
Understanding the sources and types of plastic residues is essential to prevent their introduction into non-plastic materials. This can be achieved through proper supply chain management, use of certified raw materials, and rigorous quality control measures at every stage of production. The expertise gained from this analysis also aids in product innovation by identifying opportunities for improvement.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated given the increasing awareness about environmental sustainability and health risks associated with plastic pollution.
