The Latest Supply Chain Disruption: Plastics
Most supply chain practitioners would agree: between the pandemic, container shortages, winter weather, factory fires, the blocking of the Suez Canal by a container ship, and other logistics woes
Plasticizer Analysis - Polymer Solutions
Plasticizer analysis is important for confirming the composition of raw materials and finished products. Approaches Samples are typically solvent extracted, and plasticizer analysis is performed using the extraction solvent. Plasticizer testing is typically performed using GC-MS.
Recycling and the future of the plastics industry | McKinsey
Based on these models, we project that plastics reuse could rise to as much as 50 percent of plastics production by 2030, assuming a $75-a-barrel oil price and an effective regulatory framework reinforced by supportive behavior from other industry stakeholders and consumers (Exhibit 3).
Polymer and Phthalate Analysis with FTIR Spectroscopy
FTIR is powerful tool to identify polymers and quantify phthalate plasticizer components ATR is convenient, economical and accurate approach to achieve phthalate type and concentration information FTIR results act as the screening toolto reduce the sample testing requirement for GC-MS analysis, the golden standard but more expensive.

Effect of plasticizer on the conductivity of carboxymethyl
Lithium ion conducting solid polymer electrolyte based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) complexed with lithium tetrafluoroborate was prepared by using solution cast technique. Ionic conductivity was measured using ac impedance analyzer and observed as 8.2 × 106 S cm1 at room temperature. For further enhancement in the conductivity, plasticizer was introduced and it reached up to 3.7 ×
- How do plasticizers affect polymers?
- Plasticizers are substances which, by virtue of their polar or polarizable structure, weaken the secondary valence forces of polymers. By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature.
- How can plasticizers be used to make polymers soft and flexible?
- By adding plasticizers to compatible polymers, the materials can be modified in such a way that they become soft and flexible by decreasing their glass transition temperature. Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types.
- Who is SGS polymer solutions?
- SGS Polymer Solutions Inc. (SGS PSI) is a division of SGS and we offer more than 35 years of expertise to our clients in the medical, pharmaceutical, packaging, aerospace, defense, and manufacturing industries. With quick turn around times and quality results, we continue to be a leading choice for polymer testing across North America.
- How does SGS Psi test and analyze plastics?
- SGS PSI has expertise across a wide range of methods for testing and analyzing plastics, including: For many clients, the sample that is submitted is the actual product or the portion of the product that contains the plastic. We are as frugal with the sample as the technique will allow. The type of test used will determine the required sample size.
- How are plasticizers classified?
- Plasticizers are classified according to their molecular structure into monomeric or polymeric types. The choice of the plasticizer is dependent on the requirements that have to be met for the final product and the conditions around that product’s use.
- What are plasticizers & modifiers?
- Plasticizers and Modifiers are part of the Polymer Additive Business Unit and comprise of a wide range of high-quality products under the brand names Mesamoll ®, Adimoll ®, Unimoll ®, Ultramoll ®, K-FLEX ®, Vitroflex ®, Modulast ®, Uniplex ®, Triacetin, Acetine, and Baymod®. Mesamoll ® is a phthalate-free universal monomeric plasticizer.
