Halogens in a polymer sample applying Metrohm Combustion IC according to RoHS
contributed by Metrohm |
Introduction
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) requires to reduce the halogen content in several organic materials used in electrical and electronic equipment. In this context, there is a huge interest for using halogen-free polymers. To check for halogens in polymers, Metrohm Combustion IC applying flame sensor technology and Inline Matrix Elimination is an indispensable method. The examined polymeric material contains halogens at a level of up to 1%.
