Packaging Toxins Testing

Packaging material toxins testing for metals, plasticizers and other toxic chemicals.

Intertek packaging laboratories test packaging materials for potential toxic or toxic components, including heavy metals content, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phthalates, and many other chemical substances.

Intertek chemists analyze for toxins to trace levels, in all package components used in packaging including inks, dyes, pigments, paper, foams, films, monomers, polymers, adhesives and glues, stabilizers, paints, coatings, metals and more. Intertek laboratory techniques to analyse package and packaging materials include ICP-OES, ICP-MS, LC-MS-MS, GC/MS, TD-GC-MS, XRF and others. Package toxics analytical testing is available through Intertek laboratories on a global scale.

Toxic metals and plasticizers testing for packaging materials includes detection and measurement of:

• Cadmium
• Hexavalent Chromium Analysis
• Lead Detection and Analysis
• Mercury Analysis
• Phthalates Analysis of Plastics and Polymers

Trace chemical analysis for packaging materials:

• Chemical Trace Analysis
• Trace Metals Analysis
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Testing
