Evaluating Consumer Products for Low Level Contaminants with High Temperature Dynamic Headspace

High density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are widely used polymers for the storage of consumer products including bottled drinks. HDPE is typically used in milk jugs while PET is typically used in soft drink and bottled water bottles. These polymers can have glass transition temperature above 250°C (482°F) and can be difficult for most headspace instruments to determine out gassing products.

This poster will present data of potential contaminants found in various high temperature polymers used for consumer products with dynamic headspace for low level detection.
