Your need: you want to analyze a mineral deposit on your material
A mineral deposit of unknown composition may appear on the surface of a material following contamination or physicochemical changes.
Indeed, the appearance of a deposit on a material or in a formulation can lead to visual or functional production non-conformity (adhesion, roughness, wear).
Consequently, verifying the absence of mineral deposits is an essential step in a production or cleaning process. Characterizing the chemical composition of a mineral deposit in a specialized laboratory such as FILAB will therefore help you define the actions required to eliminate it.
Our solutions to support you in mineral deposit analysis
The FILAB laboratory provides its expertise and state-of-the-art analytical equipment to help you analyze your residues and deposits.
- Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with a microprobe (SEM-EDX) to identify the chemical composition and nature of the deposit.
- X-ray Diffraction (XRD) to identify and quantify the crystalline phases present in the deposit in order to determine its composition.
- Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-AES or ICP-MS) to identify and quantify its chemical elements.
