Headspace Assay of Polymers used in the Automotive Industry with Teledyne Tekmar HT3™ Dynamic Headspace Instrument

Synthetic and natural materials are used extensively by the motor vehicle industry to provide customers appealing and safe vehicle interiors. The materials used in all aspects of vehicles interior, range from cloth and leather seats to the plastics used in the dashboards. The manufacturing process used for these materials typically include volatile (VOC) and semi volatile organic compound (SVOC) which are released into the interior of vehicles.

A headspace method was investigated to provide an alternate method for thermal desorption.
