Zetium - Advanced Polymer Analyzer

Overview

The Polymers edition is pre-configured to deliver accurate and consistent results with the appropriate hardware and your choice of our highly-regarded and easy-to-setup application modules for the analysis of polymers and plastics:

ADPOL - for the analysis of additives in polymers and plastics
TOXEL - for the analysis of toxic elements in polyethylene
RoHS - for the analysis of the RoHS elements in polyolefins

Inclusion of our unique Small Spot Mapping and analysis feature allows for the analysis of defects in polymers, which could be caused by additive agglomerates, catalyst fragments or other contaminants.

Applications

Like all Zetium spectrometers, the Polymers edition delivers reliable analytical performance regardless of the application and excels in areas related to polymers and plastics, such as:

trace-level (sub-ppm) titanium in polyolefins
flame retardants in PVC
toxic elements in polyethylene
functional additives and fillers in polyethylene
RoHS and REACH screening and quantification.

Features

Design features for product consistency

The 1 kW SST-R Rh tube delivers exceptional performance for the majority of applications (upgrades to 2.4, 3 and 4 kW available)
Rugged design with 3 levels of practical drift minimization technology
User-friendly software with integrated intelligence for novice and advanced users
Outlier detection and process control with Statistical Process Control software - ideal for traceability and accreditation
Freedom to choose between ADPOL, TOXEL or RoHS calibration samples at no extra charge.

Upgrade packages to meet every challenge

The modular design of the Zetium platform allows optimization of the Polymers edition through the addition of upgrade packages that deliver tangible benefits:

SumXcore - for reduction in analysis times and identification of unexpected elements in production samples
Small Spot Mapping - ideal for the analysis of inorganic inclusions (catalysts, additives, etc.) for process troubleshooting
Speed & throughput - for faster sample analysis
Robustness & uptime - for tough environments
Flexibility - to accommodate sample size and type variations
Performance enhancement - for superior sensitivity

Advanced software and unique application solutions

The latest version of our renowned SuperQ software features a new, streamlined user interface, advanced matrix correction algorithms, such as multi-scatter fluorescence, integration of ED deconvolution and integrated intelligence with the Virtual Analyst
ADPOL - developed by Malvern Panalytical and DSM Resolve for accurate analysis of additives in polymers and plastics (F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Ti and Zn)
TOXEL - developed by Malvern Panalytical and DSM Resolve for accurate analysis of toxic heavy elements in polyethylene (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Br, Cd, Ba, Hg and Pb)
RoHS - developed by Malvern Panalytical and DSM Resolve for accurate analysis of RoHS elements in polyolefins (Cr, Br, Cd, Hg and Pb)
