THE MICRO-CHAMBER THERMAL EXTRACTOR- THE LATEST INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUE FOR RAPID COST EFFECTIVE MATERIALS EMISSION TESTING
Emissions of (semi-)volatile organic compounds ((S)VOCs) from materials can adversely impact indoor and in-vehicle air quality. National and international regulations/protocols, such as the European Construction Products Directive, German protocol for fire-resistant floorings (AgBB) and the Californian CHPS protocol for public school building programs (CHPS) require the determination of materials emissions using conventional test equipment such as chambers/cells. This enables emissions to be evaluated under simulated real-use conditions and allows real-room concentrations to be estimated. The recent development of a combined Micro-Chamber Thermal Extraction system, comprising of six microchambers (up to 25 mm deep and ~50 mm in diameter), which allows surface or bulk emissions testing on up to 6 samples simultaneously will be presented along with excellent correlation data with conventional emission chamber testing.
