You wish to carry out an analysis of organic additives: Irgafos 168 (CAS No. 31570-04-4)

In what context should an analysis of Irgafos 168 be carried out?

The analysis of Irgafos 168 (processing stabilizer) and the quantification of its degradation products (particularly the corresponding phosphate) are crucial. This approach allows for monitoring its consumption and assessing the polymer's condition.

The objective of this analytical strategy is threefold:

  • Ensuring durability: 

    • Ensuring the long-term stability of the finished product.

    • Preventing premature polymer deterioration (color loss, loss of properties).

  • Controlling quality and performance: 

    • Maintaining the effectiveness of other additives and active ingredients (e.g., UV filters in cosmetics, or primary stabilizers in plastics).

    • Preventing their own decomposition by ensuring sufficient protection.
  • Regulatory compliance:

    • Rigorously controlling degradation product levels.

    • Ensuring compliance with safety standards and migration limits specific to each sector (e.g., cosmetics, medical devices).

The analysis of Irgafos 168 is the tool used to certify the performance and integrity of the material in the face of aging and external stresses.

What is Irgafos 168 (CAS n° 31570-04-4)?

Irgafos 168 is a phosphate antioxidant widely used in polymers and organic additives to prevent thermal degradation. It protects materials from oxidation during processing, extends their lifespan, and stabilizes their final properties.

FAQ

What types of samples can be analyzed?

The samples analyzed for Irgafos 168 cover the entire product lifecycle, from granulated raw materials and finished polymer articles (films, molded parts) to aged samples and food simulants used for regulatory migration testing.

How to detect the degradation of Irgafos 168?

GC-MS or LC-MS techniques allow the identification of transformation products such as oxidized Irgafos 168 (Irgafos 168 O). Before/after aging comparison allows for the evaluation of stability.

Does the analysis address a regulatory need?

Yes. Quantifying certain additives and verifying their stability may be necessary to comply with cosmetic regulations (DIP files, quality control, claims).

Can other additives or contaminants be measured in parallel?

Yes. It is possible to analyze other antioxidants, stabilizers, UV filters, as well as traces of metals or associated impurities.

Is it possible to support a formulation optimization?

Yes. The laboratory can go beyond simple measurement and support your R&D teams to understand the degradation mechanisms and adjust the formulation.

Why analyze Irgafos 168 in a solar filter?

Irgafos 168 contributes to the stability of formulations exposed to UV radiation and heat. Its analysis verifies its presence, concentration, and level of degradation to ensure the performance and durability of the sunscreen.
