Analysis of brominated flame retardants in polypropylene products by FD method using JMS-T2000GC AccuTOF™ GC-Alpha
MSTips No. 355
JMS-T2000GC AccuTOF™ GC-Alpha provides advanced analysis results with high throughput by high-resolution TOFMS, multi-ionization mode and automatic analysis software msFineAnalysis. Pyrolysis-GC-MS method is widely used in material analysis using GC-MS, in MSTips No. 330, the result of difference analysis between the non-defective product and the defective product in the PP / PE copolymer product was shown. On the other hand, in the analysis of additives in materials, there are high boiling point components that are difficult to pyrolyze and cannot pass through the column, and components that are difficult to estimate the previous structure after pyrolysis. The FD method is effective for these components. This report shows the result of analysis for two types of polypropylene (PP) products. The difference between sample was not found by the pyrolysis method, but a brominated flame retardants was found as a difference by the FD method.
