BIOCIDES – Chemistry

biocidi - chimica
 

Regulatory support and advice for biocidal products and chemicals (REACH):

  • Consulting on regulatory requirements
  • Analysis and registration strategies
  • Data review
  • Preparation of dossiers and reports
  • Communication with relevant authorities
  • Human and environmental risk assessment
  • Exposure assessment
Prochemia offers a full range of analyses for marketing authorization and quality control of PMCs or biocides.
The analytical chemistry laboratories, equipped with modern analytical instrumentation, can guarantee a full range of analyses and tests suitable for evaluating both the stability and physical and chemical properties of active ingredients and formulations.
 

Main technical-analytical services:

  • Title active ingredients (as such and within formulations)
  • Study of the active ingredient and formulation stability
  • Study of technical and chemical/physical properties (data sheets)
  • Study of toxicological safety (Safety Data Sheets)
  • Search for impurities (heavy metals, nitrosamines, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, etc.)
  • Compatibility with packaging
  • Development of analytical methods and validations in GC, HPLC, ICP, AAS, FT-IR, DRX

Chemical and physical analysis:

  • Boiling temperature
  • Flash point
  • Melting point and drop point of waxy compounds
  • Relative density or bulk density
  • Karl Fisher
  • Acid-base and redox titrations
  • Refractive index
  • Free water activity
  • Surface tension
  • Partition coefficient (n-octanol/water)
  • Dynamic and kinematic viscosity
  • Physical state/aggregate, appearance, color, odor
  • Particle size distribution (particle size)
  • Anion analysis of chlorides, chlorine, free acids, phosphates, silicates, carbonates
  • Determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
