New Ways of Quality Control QC Process with GC Innovations
Combination of Raw Material Qualification and QC Second Line Guarantees Best Achievable Results and Continuous Improvement.
Siegwerk, one of the leading ink manufacturers for flexible packaging, ensures the safety of its products starting with a comprehensive raw material introduction process supplemented by incoming quality control (IQC). Incoming solvents are checked via gas chromatography (GC) to avoid contamination of inks and varnishes by impurities or other non-intentionally added substances (NIAS). Some NIAS could be non-carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic (CMR) substances which give an off-flavor or disturb the printing process.
In Siegwerk, we switched from conventional GC oven systems to Intuvo 9000 GC. In this webinar we will discuss how we got >50% faster with our universal methods and how we plan to reduce the analysis time from 25 mins to 10 mins or faster with a robust analytical experimental model and advantages of innovations in gas chromatography.
