Asbestos Analysis by PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy)
Our asbestos analysis by PLM service provides reliable identification and quantification of asbestos fibers in a wide range of materials. We perform testing in accordance with ISO 22262-1:2012, a globally recognized method for asbestos identification using polarized light microscopy.
Asbestos contamination remains a serious safety and regulatory concern. For this reason, accurate laboratory testing is critical for cosmetic manufacturers, raw material suppliers, and industrial product companies. This is especially true for cosmetic talc-based products, where asbestos contamination has resulted in regulatory enforcement actions and recalls.
What Is PLM Asbestos Testing?
Polarized Light Microscopy is a well-established analytical technique that identifies asbestos minerals based on optical properties such as birefringence, refractive index, and crystal structure. Using this method, laboratories can distinguish asbestos fibers from non-asbestos mineral look-alikes that may appear similar under basic microscopy.
This testing approach detects all regulated asbestos types, including:
-
Chrysotile
-
Amosite
-
Crocidolite
-
Tremolite
-
Anthophyllite
-
Actinolite
Materials Commonly Evaluated
PLM asbestos testing is commonly applied to:
-
Cosmetic talc and talc-containing cosmetic products
-
Raw cosmetic ingredients and fillers
-
Powders, pigments, and mineral additives
-
Building materials and insulation
-
Industrial and consumer goods
Because asbestos regulations apply across multiple industries, PLM analysis supports both product safety assessments and regulatory compliance programs.
Why ISO 22262-1:2012 Matters
ISO 22262-1:2012 establishes standardized procedures for identifying asbestos in bulk materials. As a result, test results are repeatable, defensible, and suitable for regulatory submissions, supplier qualification, and quality investigations.
Why Choose Pentyl Labs?
