PolymerIQ - A Revolutionary Solution for Polymer Identification, Quantification and Additive Measurement

28 Mar 2012

PolymerIQ™ is a complete solution designed and developed by B&W Tek in partnership with Gnosys Global.

It enables the user to perform accurate, real time, non destructive identification and quantification of polymeric material. This is achieved by coupling B&W Tek’s award winning high resolution
i-Raman® portable Raman spectrometer system with Gnosys’ expert chemometric software. At the click of a button you can perform multivariate statistical analysis to relate all spectral information to the chemistry, properties, and metrics of interest.
B&W PolymerIQ

This rapid analysis approach reduces the need for more laborious analytical methods and enables a more intelligent approach for the re-use of materials test data. The net result is greater cost efficiency in the routine inspection of master batches and compounds during production.

Applications:

  • Identification and Measurement of Polymers and Additives
  • Polymer Additive Quantification as Low as 0.1% by Weight
  • Inspection of Master batches and Compounds During Production
  • Predictive Measurement of Properties

Software Features include:

  • PolymerIQ Model Builder-Build your own model to predict quantitative and qualitative properties, discriminate between materials and reveal correlations between spectra and properties. Featuring spectral acquisition, database mining, pre-processing, and chemometric analysis.
  • PolymerIQ Spectrum ID-Spectral matching is used to identify material by comparing new spectra to an existing library of materials. It allows you to build your own libraries and choose from a variety of pre-processing and matching algorithms.
  • PolymerIQ Prediction - a simple and easy-to-use software that analyses materials using pre-built models, with interfaces for both the advanced user and the day to day operator. It can be configured in a variety of ways to provide the highest utility for the user.
