# Laboratory analysis of additive release agents in your plastic packaging

## Quantify the release agents in your plastics, which analysis?

A release additive is a non-stick product (mineral oil, resin, wax or other chemical agent) applied in molds to facilitate mold release or even mold reuse.

Thanks to the complementarity of our analytical tools and our dual expertise in chemistry and materials, the FILAB laboratory offers several types of services related to the analysis and control of release additives, according to reliable analysis methods:

- Identification and analysis of release agents by HPLC-MSMS, [GC-MS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-gcms.md) or [Py-GCMS ](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/py-gc-ms-pyrolysis-gc-ms.md)
- [Characterization of polymers](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-analysis-composite-material/): study of physicochemical and thermal properties by [DSC,](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-dsc-calorimetric.md) [ATG](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/tga-tga-ftir-and-tga-ms-analysis-at-filab-laboratory.md), [NMR](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-nmr.md), [SEM](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-sem-scanning-electron-microscopy.md) and [FTIR](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-ftir-spectroscopy.md)
- Assistance in the development of your products based on release agents: optimize the use of your release agents, control the conformity of your dosages, help in the formulation of the product, [help in the substitution of a CMR product…](https://filab.fr/en/cmr-substance-substitution/)
- [Deformation](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-deformulation-analysis-reverse-engineering.md) of polymer products to highlight the presence of release agents through qualitative and quantitative analysis
- [Development of customized analytical](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/rd/life-cycle-of-an-analytical-method-in-the-laboratory/analytical-development/) methods according to the current standards
- [Chemical analysis of PFAS in packaging materials](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/analysis-pfas-packaging/)
