Chemical composition of solvents and verification of restricted substances


IPT determines the chemical composition of solvents based on official standards or procedures requested by clients. The components are identified by mass spectrometry or injection of standards by gas chromatography, a technique which is also used to quantify the components.

Determination of the chemical composition enables one to:

  • Find the ideal application of the product
  • Identify substitutes that are less harmful and cheaper
  • Identify the solvent used in products such as paints
Monitoring of some compounds enables one to determine if they are within limits permitted by legislation or valid specifications, including materials destined for export.
