Total fluorine in plastic, paper, and other combustible materials
We offer several accredited methods for determining the total fluorine (TF) content of combustible materials:
EN 14582, based on combustion ion chromatography (CIC). The method is recommended by the Nordic Council of Ministers as a quick and powerful total fluorine screening technique.
EN 15408 using oxygen bomb combustion treatment followed by ion chromatography (IC). This method can be applied to plastic sheets and granules, and it is also possible to determine the total content of S, Cl, and Br.
ASTM D7359-23, based on oxidative pyrohydrolytic combustion, followed by CIC.
The most suitable method is typically selected based on the sample matrix. However, please let us know if you wish a specific standard to be followed.
Sample preparation (air drying and milling of the sample to particles <1 mm) is included in the displayed price.
