What is Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy?

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identifies chemical bonds in a molecule by producing an infrared absorption spectrum.

Uses of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy:

• Materials Quality verification.
• Deformulation of polymers, rubbers, and other materials through thermogravimetric infra-red (TGA-IR) and gas chromatography infra-red (GC-IR) analysis
• Contaminants identification.
• To analyze thin films and coatings
• To monitor smokestack and automotive and emissions
• For failure analysis.
