Purpose
We offer evaluation of functional barriers by testing their permeability to specific substances. The substances are selected according to your specific needs and the evaluation is done using existing test conditions for FCM, such as the EU's plastic regulation, EU 10/2011.
Method
A barrier test is put together based on what the barrier is intended to stop, the composition of the material or product and intended use. Depending on which substances are selected for the test, the analysis is done with GC-MS, LC-MS/MS or ICP-MS.
Delivery
The results are compiled into an analytical report.
