Plastic and Paper Goods

Northeast Laboratories experienced Chemists and Microbiologists posses the capability for determining the chemical and microbiological properties required for the use of certain plastic and paper goods. Following are a few of the procedures that we routinely perform:

• Determining the Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Material to Fungus (ASTM G-21)
• Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Internal Coating in Air Environmental Chamber (ASTM 3273)
• Mildew (Fungus) Resistance of Paper and Paperboard (ASTM D-2020)
• Fungus Resistance of Paper and Paperboard (Tappi 447)

• Suitability of Plastics for Food Contact Surfaces to meet FDA 21CFR-177.1010
• Determination of Halogen Compounds in Teflon and other plastics by oxygen flask combustion
