Soil Sampler RTP Company End-Use Case Study Inert PPA Compound Maintains Sample Integrity When En Novative Technologies, Inc., developer of the En Core® Sampler, set out to create a device to collect soil samples with minimal handling and maximum accuracy, it tested 20 to 30 different resins. “We tried a lot of the new, high-tech composite polymers, but most failed for one of two reasons,” explained Chris Reitmeyer, Head of Research and Development. “Some of the polymers had colorants or stabilizers that contaminated the sample. Some were clean but absorbed contaminants away from the soil. In both cases, they compromised the integrity of the sample. ” RTP Company’s engineers were brought in to research solutions and recommend a specialty compound that would be non-absorbent and provide imp
