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. ### Our organic additive analysis services [Analysis of Chimassorb 944 (CAS No. 71878-19-8)](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-organic-additives-chimassorb-944.md) [Analysis of Triphenyl phosphite (TPP) CAS No. 101-02-0](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-tpp-cas-01-02-0.md) [Analysis of DBP (dibutyl phthalate) CAS No. 84-74-2](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-organic-additives-dbp.md) [Analysis of TOTM (trimellitate) CAS No. 3319-31-1](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-organic-additives-totm.md) [Analysis of Irganox 1010 (CAS No. 6683-19-8), Irganox 1076 (CAS No. 2082-79-3), Irganox 3114 (CAS No. 27676-62-6)](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-additives-irganox-1010-1076-3114.md) [Analysis of Tinuvin 770 (CAS No. 52829-07-9), Tinuvin 622 (CAS No. 65447-77-0), Tinuvin 327 (CAS No. 3864-99-1), Tinuvin 328 (CAS No. 25973-55-1), Tinuvin P (CAS No. 2440-22-4)](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-organic-additives-tinuvin.md) [Analysis of BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) CAS No. 128-37-0](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-bht-cas-128-37-0.md) [Analysis of Behenamide (CAS No. 3061-75-4)](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/polymer-additives/analysis-organic-additives-behenamide.md) ## FILAB meets your needs for Irgafos 168 analysis (CAS No. 31570-04-4) ### Our technical resources for the analysis of Irgafos 168 (CAS No. 31570-04-4) [### HPLC To separate and quantify Irgafos 168 from the other ingredients in the formula](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-uplc.md) [### GC-MS To identify and quantify Irgafos 168](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-gcms.md) [### LC-MSMS To detect and quantify traces of Irgafos 168 or its degradation products](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/altis-lc-msms-analysis.md) [### FTIR For qualitative analysis on samples of pure Irgafos 168 or in the raw material](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-ftir-spectroscopy.md) ## Why choose FILAB for the analysis of organic additives : Irgafos 168 (CAS No. 31570-04-4) For over ten years, the FILAB laboratory has developed extensive expertise in [chemical analysis](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory.md).
