Thermal properties
Measurements for plastics and polymers can be performed with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal mechanical analysis (TMA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermal analysis can be used to determine the material’s thermal stability, reaction and curing kinetics, decomposition, phase transition properties (melting, crystallization, glass transition), quality control, compositional analysis (fillers, plasticizer and polymer content), and to determine the optimal processing temperature. See prices and further details in the services listed below, or contact us through the form below to get a custom offer.
Thermal characterization with DSC
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of plastics
Prices excluding VAT (24 %).
Compositional analysis
We offer a large selection of analysis methods to determine the composition of your plastic and polymer products. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) can be used to efficiently identify the main polymers in your sample. For more detailed composition analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetry (TGA) or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be used. In addition, to get more information about your polymer’s or plastic’s molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and branching we offer a wide variety of different size exclusion chromatography (SEC), also known as gel permeation chromatography (GPC), analysis methods. Our most popular services are listed below, but please do not hesitate to contact us for a custom offer to suit your needs.
