Proof of plastic

Detection of plastics in cardboard/paper samples by means of microtome cross-section and IR screening. If necessary, other methods are used to determine the plastic content. The cleaning of filled samples is charged additionally.

In short — AI-generated

This test checks for the presence of plastics in cardboard or paper samples by creating a thin cross-section and analyzing it using infrared spectroscopy. If needed, additional methods are used to determine the amount of plastic. The test requires a clean sample, and cleaning of filled samples is done at an extra cost.

The result of this test indicates whether plastics are present in the sample and, if so, in what amount. This information is useful for packaging developers and buyers who need to ensure their products meet certain standards or regulations. The test result can help determine the suitability of a packaging material for its intended use.

Test Method Group: Material analysis

Norms:

Required Sample Amount: Depending on task, e. g. at least approx. 50 x 50 mm material or at least two pieces of the product

Standard Tests

Examination of paper or board materials for plastic components according SUPD

Specific Norm: Hausverfahren PV061

The material is examined for the presence of plastic layers (according SUPD) with a thickness of >1 µm and particles with > 10 µm diameter. Partially applied layers, especially those with a thickness of <1 µm , incorporated plastics (e.g. impregnations of the pulp fibers), contained particles with a diameter <10 µm as well as the binders of applied coatings cannot always be reliably detected with this analysis package.
