Master the composition of your polymers
An additive is a chemical substance incorporated into polymers to improve their final properties and make them usable.
They can be used to achieve a positive effect during production, storage, processing, and during and after the product’s use phase.
As part of a product development or optimization, a regulatory change, or a failure, you are looking to characterize and quantify the presence of additives in your polymers, with the support of a specialized laboratory.

Organic additives: plasticizers, antioxidants, UV stabilizers
Our complementary services
Thanks to the complementarity of our analytical tools and our dual expertise in chemistry and materials, FILAB, as a chemical analysis laboratory, carries out physicochemical analysis to characterize the presence of additives in your polymers:
- Identification of additives present in a polymer
- Quantification of the additive content in a polymer
- Checking a polymer’s composition against its SDS, particularly its additive content
- Aging study of a polymer according to the additive used
- Polymer deformulation to assess the presence of additives
- Analytical development and validation specific to the additives used
- Chemical composition analysis of polymers and additives
Our technical capabilities for additive analysis dedicated to polymers
To carry out these various services, the FILAB laboratory has a wide range of analytical techniques such as:
- Thermal analysis by DSC or TGA
- Chromatographic analysis (GC-MS or HPLC) to identify a volatile additive
- Spectrometric analysis (FTIR, ICP-MS and ICP-AES) to measure the presence of an additive in a polymer
Through our three levels of service – analysis, expertise, and R&D support – FILAB assists companies of all sectors and sizes in the analysis and characterization of additives in polymers, by providing clients with the know-how and experience of its team.
