Industrial EDXRF Applications
Cement
X-ray fluorescence is a key technique in cement production for analyzing the elemental composition of cement mixtures. EDXRF spectrometers offer a cost-effective solution for quality control measurements and as a reliable backup for WDXRF systems.
Machinery lubricants
Quality control and quality assurance during the production of metalworking fluids and lubricants are essential. EDXRF spectrometers are excellent tools for monitoring and controlling the elemental composition of fluids to ensure optimum performance.
Metal coatings
Metal coating analysis is crucial for ensuring product durability and performance. EDXRF offers rapid, non-destructive analysis of coating thickness and composition for optimal quality control. It is also used to monitor plating bath composition. At-line and on-line solutions are available to fit various needs, from small-parts analysis to real-time process control.
Metals & alloys
EDXRF is a fast technique used to identify the composition of metals, enabling efficient production control in foundries and other metal processing facilities. The speed and precision of EDXRF make it ideal for high-throughput analysis, supporting continuous production and quality control.
Mining & refining
Smelters and refiners are characterized by continuous production, which demands control of both the process and the quality of incoming and outgoing materials. EDXRF provides rapid and cost-effective analysis of ores, feeds, slags, and tailings in the mining process.
Plastics & polymers
EDXRF provides valuable insights into the elemental composition of plastics and polymers, optimizing production processes and ensuring the safety and compliance of products. It identifies key elements in applications such as fire retardants, stabilizers, and fillers in various plastic forms.
Silicone coatings
EDXRF has long been a familiar technology for release coatings, converters, vacuum-formed plastics manufacturers, and other industries using silicone oils as barrier layers, release coatings, or denesting agents. It is used to determine silicone coating thicknesses or coat weight, or elemental composition of a product. At-line and in-line solutions are available.
Wood preservation
Processes undertaken to prevent wood rot fall under the definition of wood preservation or timber treatment. EDXRF can help control different chemical preservatives and processes used to extend the life of wood and engineered wood products.
