Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid or gas. An FTIR spectrometer simultaneously collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range. It is used to analyse the following:

• Polymer identification in finished rubber product
• FTIR Study of rubber chemicals
• Aromatic, Naphthenic, Paraffininc content in oil
• Cis, Trans, Vinyl Content-Microstructure in Synthetic rubber
• Styrene and Vinyl content in Synthetic rubber

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry is a technique used to measure light absorbance across the ultraviolet and visible ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. When incident light strikes matter it can either be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. It can use this principle to quantify the analytes in a sample based on their absorption characteristics. It is used to analyse the following:

• Toluene discolouration in carbon black
