Normec OWS at Responsible Packaging Expo
Normec OWS will be present at the Responsible Packaging Expo at ExCeL in London on 10 and 11 October. Meet us at stand X41 and learn about our services.
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a technique that can be used to identify materials and compounds by creating an infrared spectrum of absorption. While FT-IR spectroscopy is a standard part of compostability testing, at Normec OWS we also offer this as a separate service for individual products or materials. This allows for the identification or verification of materials, checking supplier claims, or establishing purity or degree of contamination.
The FT-IR spectrometer collects high-resolution spectral data simultaneously over a wide spectral range. The Fourier transform mathematical process is then used to convert the raw data into the actual spectrum. The resulting graph is like a fingerprint of the material, enabling the exact materials or compounds to be identified.
In this way, FT-IR spectroscopy provides full insight in case there are any doubts about the legitimacy of a product, or if you wish to verify a material’s composition.

Normec OWS has successfully renewed its TÜV certificates, further solidifying its status as an independent testing laboratory recognized by TÜV AUSTRIA.
We are thrilled to announce that after 30+ years of successful operations at Dok-Noord 5, we have now officially moved to our new location!
