HPLC is widely used in the chemical and plastics industries. Applications in the chemical industry are quite similar to those for testing pharmaceutical ingredients. They include assay and purity testing of synthetic chemicals such as raw materials, precursors, monomers, surfactants, detergents, and dyes.27,28 In the plastics industry, GPC is used for polymer characterization in product research and quality control. RPC is used in the determination of polymer additives. [Pg.173]
