Packing materials are materials used to protect items during storage or transportation, which mainly help prevent damage to items by providing cushioning, support, and protection from bumps and drops. These materials include metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, paper, natural fibers, chemical fibers, composite materials and other main packing materials, and some auxiliary materials such as strapping tape. In today's global market, quality packing materials have become an important part of protecting the interests of businesses and consumers. Therefore, deformulation has become a hot spot in the analysis and testing services for packing materials. This service breaks down packing material to identity, quantify of its all components and observe morphology, which gives sufficient information to allow customers to recreate the product, make further changes to prepare a product that meets their needs or ensure material quality and performance meet requirements, safety standards and regulatory requirements. And thus, directly protecting the maximum interests of enterprises and consumers. Alfa Chemistry is the world's leading analytical testing laboratory with state-of-the-art analytical instruments and technologies, specializing in the deformulation of packing materials.
What Packing Materials Can We Deformulate?
