Tyres are a complex mix of components and compounds. To be able to separate and identify all the organic compounds, Emissions Analytics utilises two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry to yield a unique and detailed chemical fingerprint for each tyre using a specialised and highly-optimised form of analytical pyrolysis.
