Packaging and Paper

Packaging and Paper

Whether it is musty odor associated with trichloroanisole, tribromoanisole, or the precursor compounds trichlorophenol and tribromophenol, or some other odor issue entirely, we have the sensory and analytical experience in extracting and identifying odorous compounds from paper, corrugated, plastics, and cork packaging materials. We help our clients get to the root causes of odors by identifying where and how off-odor is generated. We also can assist with masking techniques when a chemical is important in a process, but happens to also have odor. We regularly participate in trade association meetings and have presented webinars on off-odor management and remediation.
