Title Triglycidyl isocyanurate (and coating powders containing triglycidyl isocyanurate) in air
Bibliographic information HSE Books, P.O. Box 1999, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 6FS, United Kingdom, June 1997. 7p. 13 ref. Price: GBP 12.00.
Abstract A method is described for the analysis of time-weighted average concentrations of triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) and premix and coating powders containing TGIC in air. Principle: a measured volume of air is drawn through a silanized glass fibre filter mounted in an inhalable dust sampler; the sample is extracted using one of two methods depending on whether TGIC is present in air alone or in a premix or coating powder; the resulting solution is analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with a UV detector. The method is validated between 0.01 and 0.2mg/m3 pure TGIC for sample volumes of 200L. The detection limit for TGIC is typically around 0.18µg per sample (0.9µg /m3 for a 200L volume air sample).
