Differential Scanning Calorimetry
THERMAL ANALYSIS OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS
DESCRIPTION
Quantitative determination of relevant phase transitions (glass, melting and crystallization temperatures, phase change enthalpies, heat capacity), oxidative induction time and other thermal properties of solid, liquid and semisolid materials between -120°C and 500°C.
AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT:
• Calorimeter TA Instruments Discovery, temperature range: -90 to 450°C, standard and modulated mode
• Calorimeter Perkin Elmer Pyris 1, temperature range: -120 to 500°C, standard mode
ADVANTAGES
• Characterization of specific thermal properties using a small amount of sample (mg)
• Very precise temperature control and separation of overlapping events (modulated DSC)
APPLICATIONS
Polymer, pharmaceutical, paints, adhesives and recycled materials | Identification of unknown materials and impurities | Quality control and failure analysis |
