Description

FDM ATR Polymers ( 800 Spectra )
Our newest database of ATR/FTIR spectra consists of 510 polymers, 110 plasticizers and 180 monomers. The samples in this infrared spectral library are neat chemicals and/or chemical standards, acquired new in 2006, and are listed with chemical names and CAS numbers. If you’re serious about polymer analysis you need this database. The range and selection of compounds is ideal. Full coverage is provided for all major polymers along with less common polymers.
Copolymers are presented in various ratios. Many polymers are presented in series with varying properties such as average molecular weights, percent chlorine, etc.

A COA (Certificate of Analysis), based on STM methods, stands behind virtually every compound.

The utility and importance of CAS numbers can’t be understated as vast amounts of chemical information on the web are indexed via CAS number. This database does not contain spectra of name brand polymers.

Additional physical property data such as Mw, Mn and Tg are listed with most polymer names. These properties provide a more complete description of the specific sample that industrial polymer scientists are sure to appreciate.

These spectra were run on a Bruker Equinox FTIR at 2 cm-1 optical resolution with a Pike MIRacle(tm) single bounce ATR accessory. The crystals used are ZnSe or diamond-ZnSe.

We are confident the world FTIR community will find this a well done and especially useful spectral library of polymers, plasticizers and monomers. A chemical name index is available on request.

One last note, while running the plasticizer spectra we noticed many compounds are oleochemicals so that part of the database ought to be highly relevant not only to those FTIR users working in the traditional realm of polymer additives (or food additives for that matter) but also relevant to those doing research in fatty acid methyl esters based fuels, a.k.a. biodiesel.

Other FDM databases with polymer content includes the FDM FTIR Spectra of Polymers and Polymer Additives and the FDM Comprehensive Organics.

The FDM Minerals & Inorganic Compounds and the FDM ATR Inorganics would make for a useful compliment to these polymer spectra. Getting back to oleochemicals the FDM ATR Essential Oils have about 80 food oils so they will likely be useful to chemists looking at polymer additives.

You can get all five and several more databases in the FDM Very Large Bundle.

Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008
The following phthalates are now banned as described in the CPSIA.

  1. di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
  2. dibutyl phthalate(DBP)
  3. benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP)
  4. diisononyl phthalate (DINP)
  5. diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP)
  6. di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP)

1-5 are found the FDM ATR Polymers and 6 is found in the FDM FTIR Polymers and Polymer Additives. Both databases are part of the FDM Very Large Bundle.

The CPSIA mandates the study of additional phthalates and plasticizers.
