Material Composition Analysis
Detection of hazardous substances in electronic components for RoHS compliance
We use our XRF X-Ray Spectrometer to analyze the elemental composition of materials with precision. By examining samples, we identify any impurities, detect restricted substances (e.g. lead, cadmium) or inconsistencies early in the process.
By doing this, we stay in compliance with safety standards such as RoHS and gives us confidence that only approved materials go into the final product.
Two materials can appear identical but perform very differently. A minor variation in polymer mix or metal purity can lead to cracking, poor molding, or early corrosion.
What We Do
We test incoming materials using spectrometry and composition assessments to ensure they meet certified specifications. We evaluate fillers, additives, alloy content, flame-retardant uniformity, and impurities. If we find a mismatch, we trace it back to the supplier batch and adjust our acceptance criteria accordingly.
Why It Matters
Material inconsistencies often only become apparent after months of use—when it is too late. By verifying composition early, we prevent failures caused by inferior or off-spec materials.
