These libraries of polymer ATR/FTIR spectra are for analyzing polymers, plastics and rubber. The included materials are plasticizers, polymers, copolymers, terpolymers, monomers, and polymer additives. Plastic rod stock and commodity plastic pellets were added for both common resins and engineering plastics. To support rubber analysis we included uses and hardness (durometer) in each spectrum’s chemical name.

The FDM ATR Organics Diamond were run on a monolithic diamond ATR crystal. That means superior spectra and superior search results. The FDM ATR Organics Germanium were run on a Germanium ATR crystal to provide transmission-like spectra and to address strong refractive index contributions from functional groups with strong absorbances and to improve the baselines.  There is no other ATR/FTIR library of organic compounds with both diamond and germanium ATR spectra.
