Analysts at Great Lakes Polymer Technologies (formerly Great Lakes Polymer Additives) employed centrifugal evaporation to enhance safety and efficiency in competitive product de-formulation. Using the Genevac EZ-2 system, solvent removal from polymer additive extracts was achieved rapidly and without exposure to hazardous vapors. Key topics addressed include:
- Centrifugal evaporation in polymer de-formulation
- Improved recovery of stabilizers and antioxidants
- Enhanced safety and analytical throughput
The technique provided superior recovery of stabilizers and antioxidants for chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis, reducing processing time and improving analytical throughput.
