How To Identify Plastic Materials

Are you tired of guessing the composition of different plastic materials or relying on subjective identification methods like burning or smelling? Fear not, as I walk you through a method that will take your plastic identification skills to the next level. In this video, we will demonstrate a quick, easy, and non-invasive technique that utilizes FTIR spectroscopy, a powerful analytical tool that provides a wealth of information about the composition and properties of materials. By using infrared radiation, we can detect the unique molecular vibrations of different plastics, allowing us to identify them with remarkable accuracy. Join us as we explore the fascinating world of FTIR spectroscopy and show you how to distinguish one type of plastic from another in a snap. We'll cover everything from the basics of infrared radiation to 4 case studies on polymers and how we go about identifying them.
