A rapid method is described for the analysis of the monomer, dimer and trimer components of polymerized fatty acids by thin layer chromatography (TLC) with flame ionization detection (FID) on the Iatroscan. The short‐ and long‐term precisions of the method are discussed, as is the correlation of TLC/FID data with the gas‐liquid Chromatographic (GLC) data for dimerized fatty acids. The TLC/FID method is shown to be the superior technique for process control applications.
