This test determines the absorbance values in a material at varying wavelengths.
A sample is placed in the UV/VIS Spectrometer where it is scanned A Spectrometer detects when UV-visible radiation is absorbed by a sample and plots this on a graph. This test can be used for both PET film, preforms and other flat surfaces.
