It is very important to control the characteristics of a polymer used in rubber compositions and paints aerospace applications. Hence, development simple fast methodologies that allow identification these becomes attractive researches carried out this area. This study has evaluated infrared (IR) techniques, such as transmission, universal attenuated total reflection (UATR), (ATR), for characterization elastomers paints. takes into consideration surface depth penetration IR beam sample. The presence additives low concentrations on was only detected by UATR after grinding components. Results show it possible differentiate mixtures with similar spectra detect small amounts coatings.
