IDENTIFICATION OF CONTAMINANTS: “ROAST TEST”

iV – INTRINSIC VISCOSITY MEASUREMENT

viscoLAB services

By heating up PET fl ake samples discoloration of its contaminants

is achieved. Impurities like PVC, glue, polyolefi ns etc. can be opti-

cally detected and quantifi ed.

Pre-dried PET fl akes and pellets are

melted and pressed with a defi ned

pressure through a defi ned die at

a certain temperature. The fl ow

speed determines the iV value.

GC – GAS CHROMATOGRAPHICANALYSIS

Detection and quantifi cation of the

typical rPET substances Acetaldehyde

(AA) and Limonene. A report including

the chromatogram is provided.

SURFACE MOISTURE TEST

PET pellets or fl akes are heated

up to 160 °C so that the surface

moisture vaporizes. The moisture

content is calculated by relating

the starting to the fi nal weight

of the sample.
