A powerful, handheld tool to identify all common polymers for plastic sorting, recycling and waste management. Identify a variety of plastic types including PP, PE, PET, PS, PVC, ABS, POM, PMMA, EVA, PC, TPR, and many others, and also distinguish polymers such as PA6. Traditional spectrometers, while reliable, tend to be heavy, expensive, and sensitive to temperature and mechanical shock, restricting their usability in many situations. Plastic spectrometers represent a shift from conventional engineering approaches. Initial studies into their feasibility began. While Raman spectroscopy is a powerful non-destructive technique for the identification and characterization of plastics, its effectiveness suffers because many common additives, such as pigments, are highly fluorescing. Time-gated Raman can effectively extract Raman peaks from fluorescent. Our Mobile NIR Spectroscopy Solution combines mobile hardware, data analysis, and material expertise to differentiate a wide range of plastic types, supporting your journey toward a circular economy. They provide reliable results directly on site in just a few seconds.
