Advanced Materials Matching & Future-Proofing

Our Advanced Materials Matching & Future-Proofing service is brand new and created to help you solve issues related to material consistence and chemical contents:

• This material is not working the way it used to.
• I have a new supplier of a material. Is it the same as the current material?
• Why is my competitor’s material working differently than mine?
• My customer is reporting a problem with my material.
• A new restricted substance was published. Is it contained in my material?

Claigan’s “Time Slicer” materials matching solution consists of a Full Range Mass Spectroscopy with over 16 different temperature and time conditions, which produces >300,000 data points per measurement. We use the help of AI to facilitate the comparison of these huge data sets to pinpoint discrepancies between materials and identify the presence of newly regulated chemicals.

Our Advanced Materials Matching & Future Proofing process follows these steps:

1. X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) for elemental screening.
2. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify plastic and rubber materials. 
3. Thermal Desorption Mass Spectrometry (TD-MS) to analyze the material sample and generate material data.
4. We submit the primary query, a standardized question validated specifically for our AI agent, with raw data files, into the AI model.
5. We review the output from the AI and ask secondary questions to identify, confirm, and specify the results. 
6. Our experts review the data provided and report the results back to you.
