Silvergate Invests To Eliminate Risk

Silvergate’s laboratory features the groundbreaking FT-IR Spectrometer. The PerkinElmer Spectrum Two rapidly and accurately validates the quality of materials, providing absolute assurance for clients. This new equipment provides polymer identification and quantification of additives such as UV-stabilisers or slip agents. Most importantly, the Spectrum Two ensures outstanding performance in the detection of foreign bodies.

Silvergate can now quickly certify contamination-free batches, with evidence and without ambiguity. This is especially important to those clients operating in the pharmaceutical and food packaging sectors.

Tony Bestall, managing director of Silvergate Plastics, explains why it has been so important to invest in this laboratory,

"We understand that for many of our clients, it is vital to have evidence of the non-contamination of products. We now have the capability in Spectrum Two to assure clients that the products we supply are contamination-free."

By certifying the products manufactured by Silvergate Plastics are contamination-free, the organisation eliminates substantial risks and provides quality assurance for all clients operating in the plastics sector.
