How environmental weathering generates microplastics and nanoplastics, their human exposure and toxicokinetics and the regulatory responses shaping sustainability.
Microplastics and nanoplastics arise from polymer degradation and product use, influencing human exposure, toxicology and emerging regulations tied to sustainability goals.
Used as part of a digital workflow, the Ci7830 and Ci7630 can deliver the measurement precision required to communicate, share, and coordinate color-critical values and specifications across the supply chain. Both instruments bring a level of reliability, traceability, and accuracy to the digital color workflow.
Konica Minolta’s CM-M6 is a portable, multi-angle spectrophotometer for measuring metallic, pearlescent, and other complex automotive paints that uses a patented double-path illumination system, with directed 45° illumination, and six-angle observation, from two sides, to accurately measure painted parts on the automotive production floor.
An advanced all-in-one system, Konica Minolta’s CM-5 is a bench-top measurement instrument designed to evaluate the color and appearance of opaque, transparent, and translucent samples.
CM-M6 is a portable multi-angle spectrophotometer designed for measuring metallic or effect paints, which can exhibit a noticeable visual change with specific angles of view.
The portable SPECTROSCOUT X-ray fluorescence spectrometer brings laboratory-quality elemental composition monitoring and quality control testing to at-line analysis of metal surface coatings.
Markes International, a manufacturer of analytical thermal desorbers and time-of-flight mass spectrometers, has received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
