It is possible to determine components in complex EPs where matrix effects can be severe. For example, zinc (as zinc borate), chlorine (as dechlorane flame retardant), antimony (as oxide) and fibre-glass have been determined in nylon using just one standard. Many users have refined the universal precalibrated programmes for standardless XRF and made them more efficient for matrix correction by using variable correction coefficients. OilQuant offers possibilities for analysing polymers [243]. Software packages usually provide ...

Mirex and chlordecone are no longer made or used in the United States. Mirex and chlordecone were most commonly used in the 1960s and 1970s. Mirex was used as a pesticide to control fire ants mostly in the southeastern part of the United States. It was also used extensively as a flame retardant additive under the trade name Dechlorane in plastics, rubber, paint, paper, and electrical goods from 1959 to 1972 because it does burn easily. Chlordecone was used to control insects that attacked bananas, citrus trees with no fruits, tobacco, and ornamental shrubs. It was also used in household products such as ant and roach traps. Chlordecone is also known by its trade name Kepone . All registered products containing mirex and chlordecone were canceled in the United States between 1977 and 1978.

Mirex was first synthesized in 1946 but it was not introduced as a pesticide against hymenopterous insects, especially ants, until 1959 (Smith, 1991). Technical grade mirex consists of approximately 95% mirex and less than 2.5% chlordecone, mostly kepone (Eisler, 1985). Mirex is a stomach insecticide with little contact activity. The main use of mirex was against the imported fire ants in the south-eastern United States (WHO, 1984b). It has also been used to control leaf cutters in South America, harvester termites in South Africa, Western harvester ants in the United States, the pineapple mealy bug in Hawaii and it was proposed to have been used against yellow jacket wasps in the United States (WHO, 1995). Under the trade name of Dechlorane, mirex was used as a fire retardant in electronic components, fabrics, rubber, plastics and electrical goods (Eisler, 1985 WHO, 1995).

During the 1970-1980s, a mixture of ammonium fluoroborate and antimony oxide was offered on the market. This mixture was used in polypropylene with dechlorane (a chlorine source) to achieve V-0. In the absence of added halogen source, the mixture can also achieve V-0 and a LOI of 33% in PP at a loading of about 37.5%. It was claimed that the mixture can be easily dispersed, has excellent UV stability, and is non-blooming, nonvolatile, and odorless. However, its water absorption in high humidity areas was a deficiency of this additive.
