This application note describes an analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in waterborne paints with an Agilent J&W DB-1701 GC column. The analysis was per- formed on an Agilent 7890 GC System and confirmed by Agilent GC/MS. The results indicate that the method is rapid, economic and reliable, and meets the requirements of VOC determination in waterborne interior architectural paint.
This document presents an analysis method for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in waterborne interior architectural paints. The study utilizes an Agilent 7890 GC System equipped with an Agilent J&W DB-1701 column. The analysis is performed using both Gas Chromatography/Flame Ionization Detection (GC/FID) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) to ensure accurate identification and quantification of 24 specific VOC components.
| Column | Agilent J&W DB-1701, 30 m x 0.25 mm, 0.25 um |
|---|---|
| Carrier gas | Helium, constant flow mode, 37 cm/s |
| GC Inlet temperature | 250 °C |
| Detector temperature (FID) | 260 °C |
| Internal standard | 2-butoxyethanol |
The analysis uses an Agilent J&W DB-1701 column with dimensions of 30 m x 0.25 mm and 0.25 um film thickness.
2-butoxyethanol is used as the internal standard, while diethyl adipate serves as the internal boiling point marker.
The experiments are performed using an Agilent 7890A Series GC System with an Agilent 7683 Injector and Sample Tray.
