Fast, Easy Flexible Film Analyses Using Portable Infrared Analyzers
East Norwalk, CT, September 22, 2010 – With the worldwide market for flexible film packaging reaching upwards of $27 billion per year, there is a need for quick, on-site measurements to ensure a quality product. Typical analyses include determining thickness of core layer and proper lamination side on multi-layer films, verification of raw materials and film rolls, and formulation discrimination. Portable infrared analyzers, from Wilks Enterprise, can easily handle these analyses on-site in the production area, on a loading dock or in a warehouse in a matter of minutes – eliminating the need to send samples to a laboratory and wait for results.For a single, repetitive analysis such as measuring nylon, EVA or EVOH in a multi-layer film, the portable InfraCal Filtometer with a fixed filter/detector can determine the thickness of the barrier layer as low as 0.1 mil in under a minute. It eliminates the need for using potentially-toxic solvents and measurement data correlates directly to gravimetric values. The InfraCal Filtometer is rugged, compact (6.5” x 6.5” x 5”), weighs less than 5 lbs, and requires just 12 volts of dc power – making it ideal for on-site or laboratory use. Its user-friendly operation allows production personnel to easily operate the analyzer with minimal training and obtain accurate measurements.
The InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer is ideal for handling multiple flexible film measurements with one instrument. This spectral range analyzer utilizes a linear variable filter and a detector array, giving the ability to measure more than one component in the film sample. The advantage of such a filter-based spectrometer is there are no moving parts making it a compact, rugged, portable analyzer with a simplified PC interface that is easy for non-technical personnel to operate on-site or in a lab – at a cost less than most other analytical measurement techniques.
