A method for the determination of triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) from powder coatings using gas chromatography with mass spectrometric (GC/MS) detection is presented. The new method is considerably easier to use than the existing methods and has superior performance. It has been novelly applied to the determination of TGIC in a variety of occupational hygiene samples (cotton swabs, gloves and whole suits). Using the GC/MS method, the following percentage recoveries were found: gloves 114 ± 1.9; swabs 73 ± 6.5; whole suit 125 ± 16.3 and 108 ± 6.8 (two powder coatings); filter 79 ± 8. The estimated limit of detection was 0.002 µg/ml.

Keywords: occupational hygiene • powder coatings • triglycidyl isocyanurate
