Total organic fluorine (TOF) content in paper, polymers, and textiles
Determination of total organic fluorine (TOF) in paper, polymers, textiles, and other combustible materials.
Total fluorine (TF) content is measured first using combustion ion chromatography (CIC). Total inorganic fluorine (TIF) is then extracted and measured, after which TOF is calculated as the difference between TF and TIF.
TOF analysis provides information about the total amount of organic fluorinated compounds in the material. It can also be used to evaluate the overall presence or absence of PFAS, even though individual PFAS compounds cannot be identified.
Note: If the inorganic fluorine content of your samples is expected to be low, our total fluorine measurement may be a more cost-effective option as a PFAS proxy test.
