Mineral Oil in Crystal Polystyrene

Mineral Oil is added to Crystal Polystyrene to increase its flexibility. This process requires a high degree of regulation, as the addition of too much mineral oil will dissolve the polystyrene polymer.
This application note describes how Nuclear Magnetic Resonance can provide a rapid and effective means of monitoring the mineral oil content in crystal polystyrene.
