Organic Compound Detection on Cloth - Manufacturing
« on: August 09, 2018, 01:18:47 PM »
Hi, I am working on a process where we have few liquid chemicals applied to a cloth surface. Of these chemicals, we need to confirm presence of linalool & benzyl benzoate in the final product. The proportion of these is approx. 2-3mg over a 6-7g cloth surface.

Our current process is to manually sniff the cloth and confirm the presence. This is neither too accurate nor too efficient.

My question is if there are any methods/indicators/sensors that could help me confim the same?

Take a known amount of cloth and soak it in a standard amount of a good solvent for those materials (acetone?). Then use GCMS to determine the concentration. With a little dimensional analysis should be able to back calculate your coatng.
