A commercial accelerator for curing epoxy systems, Cordova ATC-3, was examined by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatography/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (GC/FT-IR). Over 20 different chemical compounds were separated, detected, and identified. The complementary results of GC/MS and GC/FT-IR are compared, and the usefulness of both techniques is discussed.
