How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck?
Proper analytical screening including assay determination via High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), redox potential, pH measurement and general raw material compatibility testing helps in the development of an effective microbial protection program to inhibit or control the growth of microorganisms that cause biodeterioration. This paper addresses some key areas where analytical testing can provide critical information to ensure the optimal protection of polymer dispersions.
