Contaminant analysis and identification solutions by Nishka, providing an adaptable analytical approach to resolve contamination problems.
Contaminants in products pose serious and potentially costly delays in production and processes. At Nishka, we specialize in quick detection, isolation, analysis and resolution of contamination issues. Our experienced experts have an excellent track record of delivering solutions across almost all industries and strictly believe in prioritizing client satisfaction.
Some of the contamination examples below state a few problems solved with the resulting benefits.
| Contamination Problem | Contaminant | Contaminant Source | Solution and Outcome |
| Black Microscopic Particles in Fine-Powder form | Carbon Based Rubber Reinforced by Calcium Carbonate | Deteriorating and Damaged final product filler hose | Filler-Hose was replaced and the contaminated batch was recalled |
| Coloured Defects on the surface of metal wires | High molecular density coating gels | Cross-Contamination generated by previous products | Batch Recall was avoided because the defect did not affect product integrity |
| Metal Debris Passing Magnets on newly constructed plant start-up | Thin & Flat shards of aluminium; one side printed, coloured red & white | Soft-drink cans discarded in the plant by maintenance workers | Plant start-up not delayed. Contractor training revised and Improved housekeeping procedures |
| Weld failure in Construction equipment | Presence of a powdery inorganic material that got agglomerated | A part of multicomponent additive-pack due to Incorrect blending | Product replaced before completion and an Independent analysis continued during process optimization. |
| particulate material embedding that caused bottle failure | crystalline unmelts and degraded base material | Product build-up in process combined with incorrect process conditions | Material recalled customer compensated. |
| Replication marks remarkably visible on the final product | solvent residue causing a chemical attack | Adhesive residual solvent alongside Incompatible barrier properties | customer successfully defended a disputed claim |
| Electronic product failure – metal tracking disrupted. | Exposed filler | plastic substrate | Alternative higher quality grade substrate supplied. Customer retained collaborative research |
| A sudden outbreak of filters blocking the on-site boundaries | environmental particulate debris in conjugation with a high loading of distinctive fibres | fibres from a new neighbouring industrial plant | independent consultation helped both plants put measures in place to check emissions |
| blocked narrow metal tube | internal deposit of polymers | The equipment contained polymer gaskets that were being chemically corroded | gaskets replaced with an alternative product and business retained |
| stained product | Synthetic fibres. Dye Leached to cause visible stain due to high temperatures. | cold weather fleece jackets | garments swapped and costs saved due to reduction of waste product |
| smooth product with rough surface finish | collection of general debris alongside highly unusual amounts of animal hairs | Hairs originated from monkeys getting into building rafters | Monkeys had dislodged debris settled on the roof. Tighter security measures installed |
| A poor optical appearance of transparent product | Product residuals in unwanted amounts | An unexplained shift in plant operating conditions | plant chemistry altered, downtime minimised, conditions changed and customer order met |
Analysis Techniques used in these few examples have been intentionally left out to make the examples easier to understand. At times, a problem may be solved simply by visual inspection and invoking knowledge from past experiences whereas, on the other hand, a multi-technique analytical approach may be required. You don’t need to worry about those. It’s our job to deliver the best results as quickly as possible and to provide you with satisfactory services.
