Soluble Fraction Analysis in Polypropylene for Quality Control Laboratories

The analysis of amorphous fraction is a fundamental task in the production of polypropylene. Traditionally, the amorphous or soluble content has been measured by solubility in xylene using manual wet chemistry methods that are time-consuming and involve large amounts of solvent. This application note examines the new CRYSTEX QC which is an innovative approach that automates the analysis of polypropylene samples.
