Free interactive webinar:
QA/QC of Materials and Coatings on Surfaces
by Handheld FTIR Analyzers
This webinar was broadcast on March 3, 2011,
and is now available on-demand.
The following topics are covered in this webinar:
- Introduction to handheld FTIR Analyzers for QA/QC applications
- How user and application requirements drive design considerations
- Selecting sampling interfaces for QA/QC application
- Diffuse, specular, grazing angle and spherical attenuated total reflection interfaces - when and how to use
- Examples of handheld FTIR analysis in:
- Composites
- Polymers
- Coatings on surfaces
- Paints and primers
- Powdered and granular materials

Detailed QA/QC analysis and characterization of materials, coatings and surfaces is increasingly important due to a combination of advances in material science, and the increased number of global suppliers. A new generation of handheld FTIR analyzers is now available for assuring the quality and performance of these materials.
These portable FTIR analyzers can be used directly at-site, eliminating the need to remove a piece of the object to send to a lab. Thus, handheld FTIR measurements can be truly non-destructive. These new analyzers also have features which make them usable in the laboratory for both method development and routine use. Their performance permits easy method development and allows measurement of both surfaces and powdered/ granulated materials either in lab or at site.
