# Research and determination of acrylonitrile in the laboratory

Acrylonitrile (CAS number 107-13-1) or vinyl cyanide is a highly flammable, colorless liquid with a pungent odor that is used in the manufacture of synthetic polymers such as nylon, synthetic rubber, resins…

Acrylonitrile is a toxic substance for humans (which can cause cancer) and for nature, so it is essential for manufacturers to identify and measure the acrylonitrile used.

In the context of a product development or optimization, a regulatory change or a failure, you are looking to characterize and measure the presence of acrylonitrile in your samples, with the support of a specialized laboratory. 

## FILAB offers you its analytical equipment and the expertise of its engineers for the determination of acrylonitrile (CAS. 107-13-1)

Thanks to the complementarity of our analytical tools and our dual expertise in chemistry and materials, FILAB performs physicochemical analysis to characterize the presence of acrylonitrile in your polymers:

Search for acrylonitrile by HS/GC-MS in all types of samples: polymers, wastewater, formulations, etc. 
Determination of acrylonitrile content by HS/GC-MS
Verify the composition of a sample with respect to its SDS, in particular on the acrylonitrile content
Development and analytical validation specific to the use of acrylonitrile

Through our three levels of services – analysis, expertise and R&D support – FILAB assists companies of all sectors and sizes in the analysis and characterization of acrylonitrile in polymers by providing its clients with the know-how and experience of its team.
